Marketing Associate

Marketing Associate

We're looking for a Marketing Associate who thrives in the engine room. You're not afraid to get stuck in, take ownership and get your hands dirty across a wide range of marketing activity. You'll work hand-in-hand with the team to turn ideas into content, campaigns, and coverage — often within days, not months. This is a role where you'll touch every channel: copy, video, social, PR, events, and customer co-marketing, including managing relationships with C-level execs at our customer and partner companies. If you want to build breadth fast and see your work go live immediately, this is it.

Within 6 months, you'll be running the social media calendar with minimal oversight and managing customer comms end-to-end via our website and HubSpot. You'll be producing high-quality video, graphics, and copy that sound unmistakably like Griffin, and you'll have secured editorial coverage for our execs while submitting award entries strong enough to make several shortlists. By month 12, you'll own clear reporting on what's working, and you'll be fluent in what marketing in a regulated environment actually requires — from BCOBS and financial promotions rules to Consumer Duty — confidently handling customer and product marketing reviews as a result.

This description reflects what we need today. How you achieve these outcomes, where you focus your energy, how this role evolves—that's for you to define as you learn what our customers need and where our technical gaps are.

To ensure this, we're looking for people who have:

• Strong copywriting skills, with the range to write across different formats and channels
• Basic graphic design and video editing skills, so you can produce quality content independently
• 2-3 years' experience in a B2B (preferred) or B2C marketing role
• A basic understanding of fintech or financial services
• A self-starter mindset — you can turn ambiguity into opportunity and manage your own time, deadlines, and projects
• A love of writing - we have a major amount of written documentation that you will be contributing to, and we place a high degree of importance on clarity and readability

Ideally, you would also:

• Have experience managing social media accounts
• Have supported PR activity, ideally within a fintech or regulated environment

What can we offer you?

We are an early stage startup and we're working hard to expand our benefits package. We're planning to add to this list in the future.

• Salary: £ 35 - 45k (DOE) Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere in the UK
• Work from abroad: Up to 20 days a year
• Time off: 25 days' holiday, bank holidays and a winter break (we shut down between Christmas and New Year)
• Share options: Own a part of what we're building together
• Pension: Auto-enrolment into our Penfold scheme
• Insurance: Private medical with Bupa (including family cover) and life insurance with AIG
• Wellbeing: 1:1 coaching and therapy session available through Oliva
• Family leave: Enhanced parental leave with up to 6 months on full pay after two years' service
• AI tools: Everyone has a Claude subscription on us and access to other premium tools
• Your setup: We'll support you in creating a comfortable and effective WFH environment.

As a bank, we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of security. This means that the successful candidate will need to complete background screening, and our offer will be conditional upon satisfactory review of these checks. This would include verification of right to work, criminal record, credit history, social media and professional reference checks.

How long will the process take?

We move as fast as possible, but it normally takes us about 2-3 weeks to get to know to each other.

• Step 1: An initial phone call with our Talent Team for us to tell you more about Griffin and learn about your recent experience.
• Step 2: Meet your manager to talk through your experience and how that relates to the requirements.
• Step 3: A task based on what you'll be doing on a day to day at Griffin.
• Step 4: Meet with peers in your team for a more in-depth technical interview.
• Step 5 : Culture and Founder interview: Learn more about this here.

We're remote-first

We trust people to do great work wherever they are. We hire across the UK and most of our team works remotely full-time. We have a small London office in Moorgate for those who want it, and about a third of the company is close enough to use it occasionally, but there's no expectation to be there. What matters is the work, not where you do it.

Under representation

Our goal is for Griffin to proportionally represent the diversity of the working population in society. We're working to ensure that Griffin is a supportive, empowering and inclusive environment for every member of our team — whatever your combination of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, nationality, neurodiversity, and religious beliefs. If you're part of a group that is under-represented in fintech, we'd love to hear from you.

Griffin Bank Ltd request that recruitment agencies do not speculatively submit CVs to any employee or associate of our company unless explicitly asked to do so by a member of our Talent team.

Any CVs sent to any member of our team on a speculative basis will not be recognised and we will not accept liability for any fee or commission should we subsequently employ a candidate who applied to us directly or was introduced by an instructed agency that may also have been submitted speculatively by an uninstructed agency.
