About The Social Creed

The Social Creed is a UK-based specialist marketing agency operating within the prop-trading and wider financial-services industry.

We help companies grow through:

• Influencer and affiliate marketing
• Short-form content production
• Social-media and brand strategy
• Creator-led acquisition campaigns
• Market-entry and expansion strategies

Our work has generated more than two million views across Instagram, TikTok and X. Content produced for Prop Firm Match averaged approximately 90% more views than its internally produced content, while another campaign increased a prop firm’s daily affiliate revenue by 64.9% within 14 days.

Our existing marketing model is proven. We are now looking for an experienced fintech growth leader to help us scale it, develop new growth channels and expand our position beyond prop trading into the wider fintech industry.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a commercially driven Chief Growth Officer with substantial experience growing fintech or financial-services companies.

This person will be responsible for developing and executing The Social Creed’s overall growth strategy. This includes scaling our existing client-acquisition model, establishing new growth channels, developing strategic partnerships, strengthening our offers and identifying opportunities across the wider fintech market.

We are not simply looking for someone to manage outreach or book appointments. We need an experienced growth leader who can consistently identify new opportunities, turn them into executable strategies and produce measurable commercial results.

The successful candidate will combine senior-level strategic judgement with a willingness to remain hands-on during this stage of the company’s growth.

Key ResponsibilitiesCompany growth strategy

• Develop and execute The Social Creed’s short-, medium- and long-term growth strategy
• Establish clear quarterly and annual pipeline and revenue targets
• Identify the main constraints preventing faster growth
• Prioritise the markets, client segments and services offering the greatest commercial potential
• Continuously identify new growth opportunities, channels and commercial models
• Translate ideas into structured experiments with defined budgets, responsibilities and success measures
• Present clear recommendations directly to the CEO

Fintech market expansion

• Develop a strategy for expanding beyond prop firms into the wider fintech industry
• Identify attractive opportunities across trading platforms, brokers, financial applications, payments, affiliate platforms, trading technology and related sectors
• Research emerging fintech categories and market developments
• Determine which markets align with The Social Creed’s capabilities and competitive advantages
• Adapt our positioning, services and sales material for different fintech segments
• Build market-entry plans based on evidence rather than assumptions

Client acquisition

• Scale our existing outbound and relationship-led acquisition model
• Increase the volume and quality of qualified client opportunities
• Develop acquisition campaigns across email, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, industry events and other relevant channels
• Improve targeting, qualification, messaging, follow-up and meeting attendance
• Build a predictable pipeline of businesses capable of purchasing recurring services
• Analyse which channels, campaigns and client segments produce the highest-quality revenue
• Reduce the company’s dependence on the founder personally sourcing every opportunity

Strategic partnerships

• Build relationships with fintech companies, trading platforms, brokers, industry events, media organisations, comparison platforms and financial communities
• Develop structured referral and introduction programmes
• Identify white-label, channel-partnership and strategic-alliance opportunities
• Turn The Social Creed’s existing industry relationships into consistent sources of new business
• Represent the company professionally in conversations with senior fintech decision-makers

Positioning and offer development

• Strengthen The Social Creed’s position as a specialist growth partner for prop-trading and fintech companies
• Improve the packaging and presentation of our services
• Develop compelling offers using our existing results, expertise and creator network
• Identify new services or commercial models that could create recurring revenue
• Improve case studies, proposals, sales decks and website messaging
• Test pricing, packages and entry offers while protecting profitability
• Create systematic opportunities for cross-selling and upselling

Growth operations and analytics

• Implement and maintain the company’s CRM and growth infrastructure
• Ensure every opportunity has an owner, next action and follow-up date
• Build dashboards covering pipeline, qualified calls, proposals, conversion rates and revenue
• Forecast pipeline and expected revenue accurately
• Measure customer-acquisition costs, channel performance and sales-cycle length
• Document successful processes so that they can be repeated by a growing team
• Recruit and manage future growth, business-development and sales personnel

Experience Required

• At least eight years of relevant experience across growth, commercial strategy, marketing, business development or revenue generation
• Significant experience in a senior growth or commercial role within fintech or financial services
• Evidence of helping scale a large, established or high-growth company
• A demonstrable record of generating substantial B2B pipeline and revenue
• Experience developing and launching new acquisition channels, partnerships or market-expansion strategies
• Experience working across multiple fintech products, markets or customer segments
• Strong understanding of B2B sales, recurring-revenue models and commercial performance
• Experience using CRM systems and analysing complete sales funnels
• Confidence presenting to founders, executives and senior decision-makers
• Strong written and spoken English
• The ability to work effectively within a fast-moving remote company

Fintech or financial-services experience is an essential requirement. Applications without demonstrable experience in this sector will not be considered.

The Ideal Candidate

You are likely to be someone who:

• Has operated at a senior level but remains comfortable executing personally
• Can demonstrate exactly how your work increased pipeline, revenue or market share
• Understands both the structure of a large company and the urgency of a growing business
• Regularly identifies opportunities that other people overlook
• Can distinguish an interesting idea from a commercially viable growth opportunity
• Uses evidence, testing and financial outcomes to make decisions
• Has a strong network across fintech, financial services or related sectors
• Is capable of building a growth department rather than simply joining one
• Takes full ownership without waiting for detailed instructions

This Role Is Not Suitable for Someone Who

• Has no meaningful fintech or financial-services experience
• Has only worked in social-media management or content creation
• Is primarily an appointment setter seeking an executive title
• Produces strategies but does not execute them
• Cannot provide measurable examples of company growth
• Focuses on impressions and activity rather than pipeline and revenue
• Requires a large existing team before being able to deliver results

Performance Measures

Performance will be assessed using:

• Qualified pipeline created
• New monthly recurring revenue
• Number and quality of sales opportunities
• Revenue created through new channels
• Strategic partnerships established
• Successful expansion into additional fintech segments
• Proposal-to-client conversion rate
• Cost per qualified opportunity and acquired client
• Average sales-cycle length
• Cross-selling and client-expansion revenue
• Accuracy of pipeline and revenue forecasts
• Number of validated growth opportunities successfully implemented

The role will not be measured solely by the number of meetings booked. Commercial quality, collected revenue and sustainable company growth are the priority.

First 90 Days

During the first three months, you will be expected to:

• Conduct a detailed audit of our current model, clients, positioning and acquisition channels
• Analyse how previous clients were acquired, converted and retained
• Define priority client profiles across prop trading and wider fintech
• Organise the CRM and establish reliable performance reporting
• Produce a clear 12-month strategy and detailed 90-day execution plan
• Scale the strongest elements of our existing acquisition model
• Launch structured partnership, referral and outbound initiatives
• Identify and validate additional fintech markets
• Improve our offers, positioning and commercial materials
• Build a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities
• Document the processes required to expand the growth department

Compensation

• £2,000–£4,000 per month, based on experience and track record
• Additional performance incentives linked to qualified pipeline, collected revenue and sustainable growth
• Initial three-month probationary period
• Long-term opportunity to build and lead The Social Creed’s complete growth function

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Your CV and LinkedIn profile
• A summary of your fintech or financial-services experience
• Two or three examples of companies or business units you helped grow
• The specific actions you personally led
• Measurable pipeline, revenue, market-share or acquisition results
