Manager, Marketing Communications

**A bit about us, and how we’re different**

We take a start-up style approach that fuses analytical and creative thinking and use our proprietary frameworks and workflows we have developed in-house. The result is tangible progress for our clients - and meaningful impact for the people and communities they serve.

We’ve been trusted by top-tier clients in both the private sector (Amazon Web Services, Vodafone M-Pesa, Mastercard, Ecobank, BRAC Microfinance, VC-backed start-ups) and public domain (e.g., World Bank, IFC, International Monetary Fund, United Nations, World Economic Forum). [See our clients’ testimonials on 20+ case studies on our website’s Work section.]

Our work is guided by 5 core values:

- Integrity: doing the right thing - even when no one is looking;
- Quality: serving as experts in our craft and taking pride in delivering high-quality work;
- User-Centricity: keeping the client and the end-user at the center of our engagements;
- Bias to Action and Urgency: taking decisive action rather than overanalyzing scenarios;
- Solution-Oriented Mindset: looking for optimal solutions, while being aware - rather than dwelling on - risks, unknowns, and obstacles.

**What we’re looking for**

We’re seeking a part-time, mid-level Manager (roughly 5 to 7 years of experience) in marketing communications, ideally with experience in fintech. The Manager will be both internally facing (i.e, help drive the growth of the firm in key markets and verticals) and externally facing (i.e., support client engagements in need of marketing expertise).

**What you’ll be doing**

As a Manager, Marketing Communications at Digital Disruptions, you will work and manage a wide variety of exciting, meaningful projects in the country and region, such as:

- Design the firm’s overall communications strategy to create awareness among prospective clients and drive leads
- Develop and/or refine content (newsletters, social media posts, pitch decks) to increase dealflow and win rate
- Improve performance marketing and decrease CPL for a regional credit start-up in Latin America
- Craft social media campaigns for a regional bank’s money transfer marketing outreach to migrants
- Diagnose low adoption and recommend a revamped GTM plan for a Central Bank’s nascent digital currency pilot;
Projects last anywhere from two weeks to several months, and you'll often be involved in several projects (both internal and external) at any given time. You'll work closely with a broader team of specialists in product, design, research, and data analysis, depending on the engagement.

**What we offer**
- Impact-driven work: Opportunity to collaborate on innovation projects that improve lives in developing countries, focusing on low-income individuals and SMEs.
- Top-tier client engagement: Work with a range of leading clients in fintech from around the world.
- Flexible work arrangements: fully remote, and flexible work schedule (i.e., you can work around your other engagements).
- Competitive compensation, based on quality of experience, potential impact, and local market rates (in this case, Montreal).
- Professional growth with focus on development opportunities and learning from expert colleagues in various fields such as product, design, research, and data analysis.

**Sound interesting? You should have**:

- 7 to 10 years of hands-on experience working in product development, product management, or strategy preferably in a corporate innovation team, a start-up, or consultancy / agency.
- Experience working in the fintech or Digital Financial Services sector (ideally B2C); specific experience in payments, credit, remittances, or e-commerce preferable.
- Ability to clearly and effectively communicate insights, ideas and recommendations to internal teams and clients;
- Experience in conducting secondary research, basic data analysis, competitive landscaping, financial models, and synthesizing information in concise PPT slides or Word documents.
- Experience in driving complex projects forward with multiple cross-functional stakeholders and external dependencies.
- Excellent verbal and written skills in English and Spanish;
- Work authorization in Colombia, and be based in Medellin or Bogota.

**It would be a bonus if you also had**:

- Strong local network in the fintech and technology space in Colombia and able to build and nurture relationships;
- Professional experience in multiple markets in one or more advanced economies;
- MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
