Role
Who you are
- 4 - 7 years’ experience in an acquisition or growth marketing role, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or new venture with a strong analytical culture
- Autonomous and execution-focused, able to define experiments, launch tests, and move work forward without waiting for perfect briefs or constant oversight
- Experimentation experience, including designing A/B tests, interpreting results, and making decisions in the presence of noisy or imperfect data
- Data-literate and numerate, comfortable reading dashboards, questioning results that don’t make sense, and using data to guide decisions (SQL not required)
- Analytical mindset, with a preference for structured problem-solving over brand-led or purely creative marketing
- Hands-on copywriting ability, particularly for ads and landing pages, with a willingness to test, iterate, and discard what doesn’t work
- Motivated by building useful products for small businesses, and excited by the challenge of discovering who a product is for and how to reach them
What the job involves
- Hybrid working in London, UK (At least one day in the office per week)
- We’re looking for a Growth Marketing Manager to join our Credit Compass team
- Your mission is to bring the right small businesses to Credit Compass - those who find genuine value in the product and return regularly to use it
- You’ll design and run a structured experimentation programme across paid, owned, and partner channels to learn which audiences, messages, and journeys find businesses that the Credit Compass can help
- Working closely with product and data, you’ll turn early signals into clear insights about who Credit Compass is for, what problem it solves best, and how to reach those businesses efficiently
- This role is less about scaling what already works and more about discovering what should work, then building the evidence to support it
- If successful, you’ll build a growth engine with a clear path to 20,000 monthly active users within a year
- Identify and define the right customer segments for Credit Compass by designing and running experiments that reveal which businesses find long-term value and return regularly
- Connect the right message to the right audience, writing and testing ad and landing-page copy, validating our existing messaging matrix, and iterating based on real customer behaviour
- Design and run acquisition experiments across multiple channels, including paid search and social, referrals, affiliates, and partner distribution, with a focus on learning what scales and what doesn’t
- Improve conversion from existing demand, testing ways to convert low-performing organic pages and existing iwoca traffic into engaged Credit Compass users
- Build a test-and-learn growth engine, setting clear hypotheses, running A/B tests, analysing results, and turning insights into repeatable acquisition strategies
- Collaborate closely with retention teams to feed learnings back into the product and help shape how Credit Compass evolves
Salary benchmarks
Our take
UK SMEs are the backbone of a complex economy that is constantly changing, so the need for fast and responsive access to finance is becoming more and more important to ensure their success and growth. iwoca allows SMEs access to business loans in less than a minute, with its API and business marketplace partnerships.
With offerings like iwoca's, gone are the days where waiting up to eight weeks for a loan decision was viable. Its simplified business loans of £1,000 - £500,000 come with no fees attached, and applying online takes no more than five minutes. The ready availability of iwoca loans gives business owners a level of certainty, so that they can make instant decisions to help their business grow.
iwoca has made a number of partnerships with other players in the business finance space, including an impressive industry-first invoice checkout integration with QuickBooks. Funding raised by the company, which is now operating at net profitability, will enable it to meet a recent surge in demand for corporate loans and offer more to larger SMB businesses. And the company has made several billion in funding available to over 100,000 businesses since launching, positioning itself as a leading European fintech.

Company benefits
- Work where you work best: Twice a year we rent houses in places like Sicily and the French Alps where each team can work together for a week poolside. We champion flexible working in all our teams
- Invest in iwoca: We want people to be invested in iwoca's success so after six months you'll be awarded share options
- Keep yourself healthy: We offer comprehensive health insurance and cash plans. You'll also get gym discounts and we host yoga classes in the office every week
- Start (and end) your day right: Each floor of iwoca HQ has a fully stocked fridge for breakfast and every Friday we unwind with beers and wine

- Learning and development: Whether you want to learn to code, experiment with motion design, or beat cognitive biases, you'll have time and budget to invest in your professional development
Company values
- Motivated: Going to work shouldn't feel like a slog, so we want everyone in the team to personally care about what they're working on. We stay motivated by celebrating our wins, learning from our mistakes, and always looking for new gaps to step into
- Smart: At iwoca being smart isn't about what you know, it's about how you think. Smart thinking means looking at each problem by asking ‘why’ first, then figuring out ‘how’
- Humble: We know all ideas are flawed, all code has bugs, and everyone makes mistakes - it’s how we learn. For us, being humble means you question yourself first, rather than your team
- Growth Mindset: We think there's always a better way to solve a problem. So we never let ourselves get comfortable with being good enough
