About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We're making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We are headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France, Latvia and the United States.

The role

Our overall company vision is to build the world's bank payment network and we are looking for an individual to help us join the dots between a fantastic product and huge growth potential in a growing market.

• Develop a deep understanding of our customers through qualitative and quantitative research and market research in order to inform effective and impactful business decisions
• Work alongside other functional teams to ensure that our GTM arm has the right data points, messaging, positioning, and resources they need to drive growth

What excites you

• Deep curiosity to uncover what motivates, frustrates, and delights our customers (of today and of tomorrow), and turning those insights into actions
• Championing and leading key areas of product and feature launches
• Talent for turning data into targeted value propositions and messaging that are deeply attuned to customers will accelerate growth
• Cross functional engagement with teams all across the business
