Head of Marketing (Director)

We’re looking for an exceptional marketing leader to take OakNorth’s brand, growth engine, and customer experience to the next level. As Head of Marketing, you’ll lead a high-impact, multi-disciplinary team across Brand & Design, Growth Marketing, Digital & Martech, Commercial Enablement, and Events—supporting all three of our core product lines: Lending, Business Banking, and Personal Savings across the UK and US. 
This is not a brand-heavy, big-budget media role. Our approach is rooted in precision: account-based marketing (ABM) for Lending and Business Banking, customer lifecycle and digital growth strategies for Personal Savings, and lean, insight-driven execution across everything we do.
We prioritise measurable, commercial outcomes over reach for reach’s sake—so we’re looking for someone who can think creatively within relentless focus on return, and scale systems and processes that drive real business impact. 

Success in this role means:

• Elevating and unifying OakNorth’s brand and customer experience across markets and products. 
• Embedding account-based strategies and commercial enablement into every campaign. 
• Driving quality growth and retention across channels through sharp messaging and data-led execution. 
• Enabling our commercial and product teams with the tools, insights, and content they need to win. 
• Fostering a high-performing, collaborative team culture rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and ownership. 

What You’ll Do:

• 10+ years of marketing leadership experience, ideally in financial services, fintech, SaaS and/or B2B financial technology. 
• Proven track record managing multi-functional teams—digital, brand, growth marketing. 
• Strong strategic thinker with analytical rigor and creativity; you balance art and science with ease. 
• Excellent collaborator—adept at navigating internal stakeholders spanning commercial and corporate functions. 
• Ambitious, curious, high-standards leader who is hands-on when needed, but excels at empowering others. 
• Purpose-driven communicator who values culture, clarity, brand, and measurable impact. 

Benefits and Perks:

• Equity. We want people to have a stake in the business so that all our interests are aligned.
• 25 days holiday
• Personalized benefits – opt-in to what matters to you
• Subsidised Private Medical Insurance with Bupa
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
• Wellbeing and social events
• In-house Barista Bar in London office
• Support causes that matter to you – Volunteering time off
• Salary sacrifice schemes (Cycle to work, nursery, gym, electric car scheme)
