To advance financial wellbeing by providing affordable financial solutions to consumers across the credit spectrum.
Role
Who you are
- Fintech Leadership: 15+ years of marketing experience with a deep mastery of the personal loan and financial services landscape, including content, digital and product marketing
- The ROI mindset: A proven track record of driving ROI-positive acquisition across multiple channels, including digital, direct mail, and lead aggregators
- Data as a second language: Strong analytical rigor with the ability to use performance data to pivot strategies and uncover untapped market segments
- Executive presence: High-level communication skills with a history of presenting performance and vision to employees and the Board of Directors
- Regulatory fluency: A firm grasp of compliance and regulatory standards for advertising and acquisition in financial markets
- Academic foundation: A degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred
What the job involves
- Prosper is seeking an analytically-driven, values-led VP of Marketing to accelerate our mission of advancing financial well-being
- As a key member of the executive leadership team, you will oversee the end-to-end marketing ecosystem - from performance-based acquisition to the launch of new borrowing and investing products
- We need a leader who can mentor a talented team of 21 while maintaining a sharp focus on ROI and market-leading brand positioning
- Whether you work from our San Francisco headquarters or remotely in the US, you will be the lead storyteller and strategist connecting our products to the millions who need them
- Drive scalable growth: You will own top-of-funnel metrics and multi-year marketing plans for our retail investor, personal loan, and credit card portfolios. You’ll determine requirements, assess support needs, build internal alignment, and deliver results that hit our aggressive volume targets. You will accelerate the development of enhanced machine learning targeting models and aggressive customer research
- Define the competitive edge: You will lead us to beat the competition at our game - not theirs. This means overseeing deep market research and competitor analysis to drive recommendations that lean into Prosper’s unique marketplace advantages. You will lead a proactive PR strategy to ensure our strengths are clearly communicated and widely recognized by the market, media, and our customers
- Influence the product roadmap: You will act as a key partner on new product design, bringing deep market intelligence and customer insights to the table to ensure our future offerings are positioned to win from day one
- Level-up the team: You’ll mentor and empower our 21-person team to be a data-first execution engine that thrives on mission-driven, high-performance culture
- Reporting to the CEO, you will work in close alignment with the President & CFO, CTO, and General Counsel to position marketing as a primary driver of Prosper’s financial and technical roadmap
- You will collaborate daily with the Heads of Product, Credit, and Operations to deliver a seamless borrower and investor experience
- You will lead a 21-person org, providing strategic oversight to your direct reports: the Sr. Director of Performance Marketing & Analytics, the Director of Web & Conversion, and the Sr. Partnerships Manager
Our take
Prosper is a peer-to-peer lending platform that connects investors with borrowers directly. When it launched in 2005, it was the first of its kind and paved the way for the now crowded peer-to-peer lending market, which includes competitors like Peerform, Upstart, Funding Circle and LendingClub.
The company provides an attractive option by cutting out the middleman and making applications faster, meaning that socially and financially rewarding investments can be made. Prosper is one of the largest and most recognized in this industry, having facilitated billions in loans to over two million borrowers.
In more recent years, Prosper has forged ties with banks to allow it to launch its home equity credit line, indicating a new direction for the company. It continues to develop its offering and remains a force in the market, with no reason to believe it won't continue to succeed.
