Head of Inbound Sales and Marketing

First Circle is one of the fastest-growing FinTech companies in the country, providing financial services to under-served SMEs. We've already transformed access to credit for thousands of businesses, and now we're building a full-stack neobank offering multi-currency bank accounts, payments, FX, corporate credit cards, and payroll. As we enter this next phase of growth, we're hiring exceptional talent with a track record of excellence to join us in shaping the next chapter.

We’re hiring a Head of Inbound Sales & Marketing, reporting directly to the VP of Operations. Your role sits at the intersection of growth marketing and sales execution: owning the full inbound engine from top of funnel lead generation through to bottom of funnel sales conversion. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role leading a team of ~10 with clear opportunity to double our inbound volumes in the next 12 months.

First Circle is changing small business banking in the Philippines. The sky is the limit for someone who wants to get stuck in and make a difference.

Digital performance marketing (paid and organic): strategy, execution, and optimisation

CRM and lifecycle marketing: driving conversion and repeat engagement across the customer base

Channel development: identifying and building new origination channels: partnerships, agencies, referral networks, events, and anything else that moves the needle

Inbound sales: working alongside your team to close deals, not just manage from a distance

Specialist sales: selling to our existing customer base as we broaden our portfolio of financial products and services

Brand marketing: lighter touch, but you'll have a view on brand positioning and GTM strategies

2x inbound sales volume

A diversified, growing channel mix with one or two new origination channels proven

Requirements

• Commercially and strategically sharp: you can assess opportunities across a range of competing factors and work out a path forward that gives us the best shot at success
