Marketing Manager - Remote

Overview

EDGE (www.edgescore.com) is expanding credit access for consumers unserved and underserved by traditional credit reports and scores. Over 100 million Americans can’t borrow at mainstream rates because they’re credit invisible, unscoreable by conventional standards, or rated below prime by traditional risk methods. Armed with powerful insights from open banking data and the leading cashflow underwriting data lake, EDGE is disrupting consumer credit risk assessment which hasn’t changed much since the big credit bureaus were actually giant file drawers.

Our business is at an inflection point where we’ve proven the platform’s value with early adopters and are rapidly scaling across key verticals. As part of this ramp-up, EDGE is hiring an entrepreneurial and versatile Marketing Manager to execute on all aspects of our marketing roadmap. We have a number of initiatives in-flight or planned where you’ll take the baton to accelerate and elevate EDGE’s branding, messaging, content, and resultant lead generation.

From day one, EDGE’s Marketing Manager will own end-to-end ideation and implementation for a significant portion of our thought leadership, sales collateral, event planning, social media, and more. You’ll join the team with considerable functional and industry expertise but can expect to learn even more on the job as we discover together which tools and tactics are most effective for growing the business. In this role you’ll primarily be a “doer” with accountability for velocity without compromising quality, but from the outset you’ll be a thought partner to our leadership team with the intellectual horsepower to become the “thinker” and ultimately head EDGE’s marketing function.
