Performance Marketing Manager

About Allica Bank

Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

Allica is building out its growth function, based around talented, empowered and autonomous individuals who will be responsible for product-based customer acquisition using a combination of channels to meet objectives set across the business. You will get an opportunity to work with different teams across the business including product squads, distribution, engineers and operations to deliver on Allica’s mission of becoming the UK’s most recommended business bank.

We are rare amongst banks in that our senior leadership team have backgrounds at worldleading fintechs, which shows in their active engagement in both the strategic and execution elements of our rapidly scaling organisation. Because we are working on one of the last untapped fintech opportunities, in a new team it will mean that we're often working on entirely new challenges and unpicking complexity as we move along. No two days are ever the same.
