Role
Who you are
- If you’re driven by complex challenges that push your expertise, the chance to shape something truly transformative, and the potential to share in Cleo’s success as we scale, while growing alongside a company that’s scaling fast, this might be your perfect fit
- You should show high drive, strong problem-solving skills and be comfortable manipulating data and using SQL to uncover the insights they need
- 3-4 years managing paid search
- For a B2C business or agency
- Preferably in mobile/app first company
- Preferably in finance vertical
- Proven ability to collaborate closely across creative and analytical teams to create marketing which grabs attention and delivers the highest performance
- Ideally they’ll have worked in a company where creative in marketing is valued and high quality, though would consider this for the right person
- Good analytical skills for someone of their experience, an ability to deliver clear reporting and develop actionable insights
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a strategic, data-savvy Paid Search Manager to scale our paid acquisition efforts. With new channels launching, deeper funnel engagement, and expanded support across products and squads, our 2025 goals now exceed current team capacity
- You will join our existing team of channel managers, owning our Paid Search strategy and bringing fresh experience and perspective to the team
- You’ll work closely with our creative, data, product, and growth teams to drive consistent, sustainable user acquisition
- Day-to-day management of channels
- Manage day-to-day operations across Paid Search, handling creative testing, optimizations, reporting, and innovation. As the resident channel expert, you’ll confidently answer questions, own performance, and push to stay ahead of the competition
- Enthusiastic optimiser
- Continuously test and refine campaigns, strategies, and creatives to maximise volume and minimise cost
- Project Management
- Beyond channel management, lead initiatives like landing page experiments and new channel launches. You’ll have the autonomy to propose and execute projects, with support from data and engineering as needed.
- Reporting and analysis
- Own performance reporting for your channel (and any you take on in future). While you don’t need analyst-level skills, you should be comfortable digging into data, understanding trends, and clearly communicating results
Salary benchmarks
Our take
People are increasingly not satisfied with the products being offered by traditional banks, which have proven slow to react to the needs of younger consumers who expect more from their everyday experiences.
Cleo was one of the first companies to make great use of chatbots that sit within Facebook's messenger app. This chatbot-first approach and Gen Z user base have given it strong virality. It now has millions of registered users, 99% of which are based in the US, leading to a decision to take a year break from the UK market to focus on its US Gen Z customers. And after a successful year in the US its now eyeing up a return to the UK.
Its Series C funding will help the company to double down in the US, where it will make a significant increase in employee headcount, and enable Cleo to maintain and expand its service during an economic downturn.
Financial advice delivered via bots is a crowded space, so Cleo benefits from having a strong brand presence. It has gone for very bold, fun, Gen Z-focused messaging which helps it to stand out from competitors such as Emma, Plum, and Chip.
