About MoneyGram

We're rebuilding one of the most trusted names in fintech-and doing it like a startup.
MoneyGram has been a global leader in cross-border payments for decades, and now we're entering our most exciting chapter yet: a full-speed, full-scale re-founding led by Anthony Soohoo, with the backing of private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners.
With a globally recognized brand, deep infrastructure across 200+ countries, and millions of loyal customers, the foundation is strong-and the scale is unreal. We're now reimagining just how much further we can take it.
We're rebuilding our growth engine -faster, smarter, and more customer-obsessed than ever. Fewer layers. Sharper strategy. Disciplined execution. A bias for action. We're looking for bold operators and builders ready to run at this opportunity, shape the future of a scaled business, and leave their mark.

About the role

As part of this transformation, we're building a best-in-class performance marketing engine-and we're hiring a Director of Growth Marketing to lead it.
Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, this is a rare opportunity to step into a global leadership role with scale and speed. You'll manage multi-million-dollar budgets, lead strategy and execution across 200+ countries, work alongside some of the best operators and mentors in the industry and build and grow a high-performing team. From go-to-market launches to always-on acquisition, this is your chance to redefine how we fuel our next phase of growth.
If performance adrenaline is your fuel, and you're ready to build a category-defining growth engine with real autonomy and speed-we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Set and own the global performance marketing vision-driving strategy and execution across paid search, paid social, programmatic, affiliate, influencers, organic social, and emerging channels. You won't just hit forecasts-you'll raise the bar.
• Build a world-class acquisition engine that delivers growth with precision. You'll obsess over unit economics, efficiency metrics, and payback windows to maximize impact and scalability.
• Lead strategic planning and budget allocation across markets, channels, and segments-ensuring every dollar works harder through data-backed decisions and ruthless prioritization.
• Drive a culture of high-velocity experimentation-managing a structured test-and-learn framework, accelerating feedback loops, and pushing the pace of innovation across all funnel stages.
• Hire, mentor, and retain the best performance marketers on the planet-fostering a high-accountability, high-creativity team with the ambition to win globally.
• Partner across the business-from Product, Pricing, Analytics, Finance, CRM, and Regional Marketing-to tightly align growth strategies, audience segmentation, and full-funnel performance.
• Own the relationship with key platforms-including Google, Meta, Apple, TikTok, and others-to unlock first-mover advantages, exclusive opportunities, and co-marketing scale.
• Co-create a performance creative machine - alongside our Performance Creative Director, you will build an agile, scalable, insight-driven creative function to unlock further growth within your channels.
• Lead go-to-market strategies for major product launches, geographic expansions, and seasonal spikes-bringing structure, urgency, and repeatable success.
• Drive innovation across the stack-from AI-powered creative optimization, incrementality testing, modern measurement frameworks, etc.
• Stay ahead of the market-monitoring trends, customer behavior, competitive moves, and platform shifts to surface bold new opportunities and respond with speed.

What We're Looking For

• A proven performance marketing leader with 10-15+ years of experience driving growth at scale in global B2C environments (ideally in a scaleup).
• Extensive hands-on experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets across a complex channel mix and international footprint.
• A data-obsessed, detail-oriented strategist who loves diving into metrics, dashboards, and customer journeys.
• A customer-first operator who can toggle between the 30,000-foot view and in-channel execution.
• Experience leading and scaling high-performing teams across geographies and time zones.
• Fintech, financial services, or regulated industry experience is a strong advantage-but not a must.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-change environment-this isn't maintenance-mode growth. The rocket ship has already taken off!
• A clear, persuasive communicator who can align stakeholders, advocate for investment, and translate results into insight and action.
• Must be based in the US or UK.
