This is a high-ownership role for someone who's equally comfortable building a channel investment plan, tuning a paid social campaign, and making sure our brand shows up when people (and increasingly, AI assistants) search for answers about credit and lending. You'll report to the Head of Product and own the strategy, budget, and performance of Braviant's digital marketing channels — not just executing tactically, but setting the roadmap, building the creative, tracking ROI, and reporting results to leadership.
