VP of Marketing

How you’ll make an impact

Drive scalable growth: You will own top-of-funnel metrics and multi-year marketing plans for our retail investor, personal loan, and credit card portfolios. You’ll determine requirements, assess support needs, build internal alignment, and deliver results that hit our aggressive volume targets. You will accelerate the development of enhanced machine learning targeting models and aggressive customer research. 
Define the competitive edge: You will lead us to beat the competition at our game - not theirs. This means overseeing deep market research and competitor analysis to drive recommendations that lean into Prosper’s unique marketplace advantages. You will lead a proactive PR strategy to ensure our strengths are clearly communicated and widely recognized by the market, media, and our customers.
Influence the product roadmap: You will act as a key partner on new product design, bringing deep market intelligence and customer insights to the table to ensure our future offerings are positioned to win from day one.
Level-up the team: You’ll mentor and empower our 20+-person team to be a data-first execution engine that thrives on mission-driven, high-performance culture.

Who you’ll build with

Reporting to the CEO, you will work in close alignment with the President & CFO, CTO, and General Counsel to position marketing as a primary driver of Prosper’s financial and technical roadmap.
You will collaborate daily with the Heads of Product, Credit, and Operations to deliver a seamless borrower and investor experience.
You will lead the entire marketing organization, providing strategic oversight to your direct reports: the Sr. Director of Performance Marketing & Analytics, the Director of Web & Conversion, and the Sr. Partnerships Manager.
