Role OverviewSeeking AI-First Growth Marketers Who Pursue Innovation — and Deliver Results.

At Tensec, we're reimagining cross-border financial services by making it faster and easier for businesses to move money globally. We're looking for a strategic, results-oriented Growth Marketing Director to own and scale our customer acquisition, activation, and revenue growth across the funnel. You will combine experimentation, analytics, and creative execution to drive a predictable pipeline and product adoption in a B2B fintech environment.

This is a highly cross-functional leadership role, ideal for someone who's data-driven, thrives in ambiguity, and can move fluidly between strategy and execution.

Key ResponsibilitiesAI-Powered Growth Engine
  • Act as "GTM engineer" to orchestrate AI-powered campaigns end-to-end, from lead enrichment and personalization to multi-channel distribution and optimization

  • Design, deploy, and manage AI agents for inbound qualification, outbound prospecting, and lead nurturing using tools like Clay, 11x, Artisan, or Salesforce Agentforce

  • Build automated content workflows using AI for social media, SEO, email, and paid channels to maintain consistent market presence at scale

  • Research, evaluate, and implement cutting-edge AI-driven growth and content tools to improve speed, personalization, and performance across all channels

  • Create intelligent automation for lead nurturing, re-engagement, and lifecycle progression based on behavioral triggers and account signals

Growth Strategy & Experimentation
  • Own the end-to-end growth strategy across acquisition, activation, retention, and expansion

  • Design, execute, and analyze high-velocity growth experiments across email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, paid channels, and SEO

  • Optimize the full funnel from lead → MQL → SQL → revenue in close collaboration with Sales and RevOps

  • Manage and scale paid acquisition (Google, LinkedIn), owning budgeting, CAC optimization, and rapid experimentation

  • Define, track, and report on core growth metrics with clear attribution and ROI measurement

ABM Strategy & Lead Generation
  • Develop and execute account-based marketing (ABM) strategies targeting senior decision-makers in target verticals (CEOs, CFOs, CROs, Heads of Payments)

  • Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Product Marketing to craft hyper-personalized messaging for target segments and ICPs

  • Plan, launch, and optimize multi-channel lead generation programs with clear focus on pipeline contribution, CAC targets, and ROI

  • Design, launch, and iterate on campaign creative and messaging—test ad copy, landing pages, and offers at high velocity

  • Manage landing page strategy and conversion rate optimization (CRO) to improve performance across the funnel

  • Build automated ABM reporting dashboards for real-time performance visibility and data-driven decision-making

  • Align marketing programs with sales priorities to accelerate deal velocity and close rates

Content, Enablement & Positioning
  • Own the company blog end-to-end—from topic ideation and editorial planning to writing, publishing, and optimization

  • Write and manage blog posts, press releases, bylined articles, and long-form content to support brand positioning and demand generation

  • Own the social content strategy for LinkedIn and relevant B2B platforms, driving awareness, credibility, and inbound interest

  • Continuously test, iterate, and improve content based on performance data, sales feedback, and pipeline impact

Required QualificationsExperience & Track Record
  • 8–12+ years of experience in growth, performance, lifecycle, or demand marketing, with clear progression into leadership roles

  • Proven track record of scaling growth at a B2B SaaS or fintech company through Series A and beyond, including meaningful impact on pipeline, revenue, and CAC efficiency

  • Demonstrated experience building and scaling growth engines—taking early traction and turning it into repeatable, measurable growth

AI-Native Growth Expertise (Critical)
  • Demonstrated experience deploying AI agents for sales/marketing automation (not just "using ChatGPT"—actual experience building AI-driven GTM workflows that run autonomously)

  • Hands-on proficiency with AI growth stack (e.g., Clay, Apollo, 11x, Artisan, AI SDR tools, AI content generation platforms) with measurable results

  • Proven track record of achieving 10x+ efficiency gains through AI automation vs. traditional methods

  • Experience managing AI-powered systems that operate 24/7 for lead qualification, outreach, content creation, and campaign optimization

Skills & Capabilities
  • Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels—from defining growth strategy to personally driving high-impact initiatives when needed

  • Strong analytical and financial mindset, with deep experience in funnel analysis, attribution, experimentation, and ROI measurement

  • Comfortable leading in high-ambiguity, resource-constrained settings, making sound decisions with incomplete data

  • Clear, confident communicator with ability to influence senior stakeholders and guide cross-functional teams

  • Track record of launching successful ABM and lead generation campaigns with measurable business impact

  • Strong background in content creation and messaging for financial services or B2B tech audiences

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills

Technical Proficiency
  • Expert-level proficiency with HubSpot, marketing automation platforms (Marketo, Pardot), Google Analytics, and social media platforms

  • Experience with WordPress or similar CMS for content management

  • Comfort with data visualization and reporting tools

  • English fluency required; Portuguese and/or Spanish language skills are a strong plus

What We OfferCompensation & Benefits
  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses

  • Significant equity options in a fast-growing fintech

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans

  • Mental health coverage

  • Professional development stipend

  • Paid time off (highly encouraged to use)

Tensec is a developmental organization committed to your professional growth, with investment in coaching, mentoring, and continuous learning opportunities. We invite people of all backgrounds and identities to apply.
