Historically, investing in options has been complex and limited to wealthy and professional investors, but our mission is to level the playing field and finally make options trading accessible.
We’ve built a mobile app that strips back the complexity, removes the commissions and enables options to be traded as easily as shares.
Our mission extends beyond the UK and Europe; we have clear ambitions to scale the business globally. After raising £3.5mn, onboarding our first 1,000 customers, and facilitating over 5,000 trades, we are looking for a Head of Growth who will help us scale to our next milestone of 10,000 accounts, then to 100,000 and past 1,000,000.
The role:
As our Head of Growth, you won’t just manage campaigns; you’ll design the blueprints for how Investa grows. You will be a hands-on individual contributor owning strategy and execution.
We believe that sustainable acquisition and retention are driven by a data driven mindset and accurate tracking across the entire funnel. You will define and execute a scalable marketing strategy, driving everything from full-funnel optimisation and CRM-led retention to building our community-driven, referral-led growth model.
Using a rigorous testing framework, you’ll iterate on creative patterns and product features to lower CPI while securing high-quality, funded accounts that maximise long-term lifetime value.
What you’ll do:
- Lead marketing operations: Define and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy for Investa that aligns with core business objectives and builds the infrastructure for accelerated, scalable customer acquisition.
- Campaign management: Build, launch, and optimise every campaign directly within ad managers, taking a hands-on approach to testing and data-driven iteration to lower CPI while securing high-quality, funded accounts.
- Data analysis and reporting: Track and analyse key marketing metrics, such as: CPI, CAC, ROAS, LTV, LTV:CAC, sign ups vs complete onboarding rates, and opened accounts vs deposit rates. Provide regular insights to the founding team on marketing progress, identifying bottlenecks and proposing actionable growth strategies.
- Community building: Build and foster a community of options traders from the ground up, turning early adopters into brand advocates and creating a high value space for like-minded traders to connect.
- Build and scale a referral-led growth model: Leverage our existing investor base of over 1,000 and our current customers to drive referral-led strategies to increase engagement, brand advocacy and customer acquisition.
About you:
- End-to-end marketing experience: Experience across the full marketing lifecycle (initial acquisition through to onboarding, retention and long-term engagement) and in designing and implementing the growth stack (CRM, attribution, and analytics tools) to monitor behaviour and optimise LTV.
- Regulatory experience: You have a proven track record of scaling products in regulated environments and are comfortable operating within FCA requirements. You see compliance as an enabler, not a blocker, using it to design creative, high-performing growth campaigns.
- Growth-first mindset: You’re innovative and can find cost-effective acquisition strategies that focus on metrics that drive actual business growth, moving past vanity metrics like downloads to optimise for high-volume ideal customers and long-term LTV.
- Track record of exceptional performance: Whether in work, academics, sports, or anywhere else you’ve applied yourself, you have outperformed and colleagues trust you to deliver results.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: You aren’t looking for a traditional marketing role; you want the ownership and influence to help build a business and serve as the catalyst for our growth through every stage of our scaling journey.
- Outcomes focused: You have a strong bias for action and an obsession with outcomes. You move fast, bypass unnecessary processes, and find the right answers by testing and learning in real time.
Our interview process:
