Growth Lead

Are you passionate about finance and technology? Are you a great communicator and networker? This is a rare chance to join the leadership team of a fast-growing Fintech company and build a rocketship growth practice.

Company

Mako is a top fintech firm, building software to bring top asset managers into the cloud. Our SaaS platform allows firms to onboard new clients and grow their AUM faster with smart automation and great user experience.

We’re the leading solution in a fast-growing segment that has become a must-have in the wealth industry, and we’ve ridden our product leadership to profitability, a team of 50 and market leadership. We win most discussions we get into - however, too many firms still don’t know we exist.

As we expand our business to domination across Canada and international expansion, we’re looking for someone to make sure we’re in the right conversations – whether through cold outreach, inbound campaigns or brand awareness.

The Job

We are hiring for someone with a fantastic digital-native command of social media, a relentless networker, and a readiness to shake up processes or build new ones. You need to come in with an existing understanding of wealth and finance, and be comfortable working with CEOs and VPs to rapidly make things happen. And critically, as a tech company, you need to quickly understand our product and be able to pitch why it’s the right solution for the industry.
