Marketing Specialist

Role

Marketing Specialist

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Highly competitive salary based on experience with additional incentive compensation tied to performance and company growth. You will work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where you can have a real impact and take ownership of a broad range of marketing initiatives. This role gives you the opportunity to work closely with leadership, help support an established payments business, and contribute to the launch of new technology and products. Performance is measured through clear outcomes, KPIs, and execution rather than simply time spent at your desk.

The Opportunity

You will join a small, hands-on marketing team as a broad, execution-focused marketer. You will own day-to-day execution across social media, email, content, creative, client outreach, and marketing projects supporting both an established payments business and a new commerce platform.

You will be expected to write, build, communicate, coordinate, and problem-solve across multiple channels. This is not a role where you will simply hand work off to a copywriter, designer, or agency. You will be expected to get into the details, use the available tools, learn new technology quickly, and move projects forward.

The Company

An established eCommerce payments company processes approximately 500 applications per month and primarily serves mid-risk and high-risk merchants, including high-ticket, future-delivery, supplements, and general eCommerce businesses. The company has built proprietary infrastructure around merchant onboarding, fraud screening, identity verification, KYC, risk controls, and other payment operations.

The company has historically worked with third-party payment infrastructure and multiple backend banks and processors. It is also building a proprietary commerce platform that is currently in closed beta with live merchants and is expected to expand over time. The business is focused heavily on eCommerce payments, technology, and improving the way merchants and partners manage payment processing.

The team includes approximately 15 onsite employees and approximately 25 total employees, along with an internal development team and external development resources. The environment is entrepreneurial, hands-on, and focused on execution.

Work Environment

This is an onsite role in Austin, Texas. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and performance-driven. You will be expected to communicate directly, give and receive feedback, take ownership, and stay involved in the details of your work. The company operates with a startup mentality, so priorities can move quickly and you will need to be comfortable managing multiple projects at once.
