Role Description Your core mission (The “Why”): - South Africa is Luno’s most established market and the commercial anchor of the Africa region. - Nigeria is the highest-potential emerging market on the continent. - This role exists to hold both, with the sophistication to protect and grow ZA while building the infrastructure to unlock NG at scale. - The Head of Marketing, ZA/NG is the most senior marketing presence in the region, owning strategy, budget, team performance, and market outcomes end to end. - This is not a coordination role.

Your mission will be: - Core pillars of ownership and impact (The “What”): - Regional Marketing Strategy: Own and author the annual and quarterly marketing strategy for ZA and NG. - For South Africa, this means defending and growing Luno’s leadership position in a competitive, FSCA-regulated market. - For Nigeria, this means building brand presence and performance infrastructure in a high-volatility, high-opportunity environment. - The strategy must be grounded in data, commercially justified, and defensible to the VP of Marketing and global leadership. - Team Leadership & People Management: Directly manage the embedded regional team, which spans Creative, CRM, performance marketing, and ATL functions (events, PR, sponsorships, sales activation). - Set clear performance expectations, run regular team reviews, and develop team members against their growth frameworks. - Manage upward and across the central marketing organisation to ensure embedded specialists receive the functional support and standards they need. - Budget Ownership & Commercial Accountability: Own the regional marketing budget for ZA and NG. - Plan, allocate, and track spend across paid media, ATL, events, sponsorships, PR, and agency partnerships. - Present budget performance and recommendations to the VP of Marketing on a regular cycle. - Make and defend trade-off decisions when priorities shift or markets change. - Full-Funnel Marketing Execution: Direct the end-to-end marketing execution for both markets across all functions: performance marketing (paid acquisition, ROAS, channel mix), CRM (lifecycle campaigns, retention, reactivation), and ATL (OOH, events, PR, sponsorships, sales activation). - Ensure channel activities are joined up, on-brand, and tracked against clear KPIs. - This role does not execute in every channel but is accountable for the quality and coherence of output across all of them. - Market Intelligence & Stakeholder Representation: Be the authoritative internal voice on the South African and Nigerian markets. - Bring competitor intelligence, regulatory developments, and customer behaviour insights into global marketing planning. - Represent the region in cross-functional forums, product launches, and leadership reviews, ensuring that market context shapes decisions made centrally.

Title: Senior Manager, Client Marketing Location: NYC Department: Marketing Job Description: About Savvy Wealth: Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home. Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week. AI runs through everything we do. On the product side, Savvy Intelligence (released April 2026) is the only AI built for wealth managers that can see a client's complete financial picture. Internally, everyone at Savvy uses Claude and is encouraged to experiment with it, backed by a dedicated AI enablement team and a RevOps org building agents in-house. We're a Series B company hitting our stride, with roughly 150 employees and over 500% year-over-year growth, backed by $105M from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Canvas Ventures, and Mark Casady (former CEO of LPL Financial).

We run an embedded marketing services team that works directly with each advisor: dedicated support, campaigns built around their niche and audience, and a paid media program that extends their reach. It's a differentiator in the market and a direct driver of AUM growth. We're hiring a Senior Manager, Client Marketing to own the quality, scalability, and strategic direction of this function. As the team grows with our advisor base, the work has to scale with it without losing the bespoke experience advisors expect. This role is the lever that makes that happen. And increasingly, it's about using AI and automation to expand what the team can deliver, so we can support more advisors and help drive more growth for them as we scale. Responsibilities: - Lead and develop the Client Marketing team: managers, associates, and a growth marketing function focused on paid media programs across the advisor base. - Oversee function-wide strategic planning, capacity planning, own the team performance system, and training and development for your managers and ICs. - Own campaign quality and playbook development across every campaign type the team runs: branding and DBA launches, lead generation, webinars, in-person events, content, and advisor onboarding. You set the standard for what great looks like in each category and build the playbooks that make execution more consistent and scalable. - Build and scale the growth marketing infrastructure that helps advisors grow their business through paid efforts: own the program strategy, manage budgets and spend allocation, and build the systems that make paid marketing a repeatable, scalable growth channel for the advisor base. - Own senior XFN relationships across Advisor Success, Growth, Product, and Compliance. On the sales side, you're in the room with top prospects representing what the marketing offering looks like and why it's a competitive advantage for their practice. - Evolve the service model over time: identify where AI and automation can extend the team's capacity and help advisors grow, without compromising the quality advisors experience. You'll have the latitude to experiment with new models for an embedded marketing services team. Must Have: - 7+ years in marketing with meaningful time leading client-facing or services-oriented marketing teams; you've built delivery ratios, managed workload across a team, and know how to maintain quality at scale - Strong creative instincts grounded in what performs: when a campaign is technically correct but creatively mediocre, you catch it; when an advisor is asking for something that won't work for their audience, you redirect them - Proficiency in building AI-native marketing workflows and a track record of experimenting with new tooling - Experience managing paid marketing programs, budgets, and spend allocation: you've owned paid media investment decisions, understand how to evaluate performance across channels, and know how to build a program that scales - Strong operator: you build systems and hold teams to them, you run tight reviews, and you don't let loops stay open - Comfortable representing marketing in a sales conversation with a prospective advisor: specific, credible, and able to speak to what you'd build for them on day one Nice to Have: - Background in financial services, wealth management, or fintech - Experience scaling a marketing services or client success function inside a high-growth platform - Experience in a compliance-regulated environment: you know how to move fast inside a compliance framework and build around it rather than treating it as a blocker - Familiarity with paid social platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn) Benefits: - Competitive salary and equity package - Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays - Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans - Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans - NYC office in the heart of Manhattan - Lunch and snacks provided in the office - Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care - Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
