Director of Growth Optimization

TransferGo is a growing fintech scale-up on a mission to champion financial freedom with care. We strive to provide tailored, more affordable financial services that make people's hard-earned money go further. Now in our 14th year, with close to 400 employees in offices across Europe and the UK, we’re crafting a brilliant, relevant product that makes a difference in people's lives and the well-being of their families.

We’ve come this far by building a talented, diverse workforce on a fair culture and our strong values. Having this strong team of employees, we can serve those who really need our product to make their lives better. Why TransferGo We exist for people in between places — migrants, expats, students, returning families and international professionals building a life abroad while continuing to support life back home.

For over a decade, TransferGo has built products for that reality: cross-border transfers, multi-currency accounts, cards, newcomer banking and a growing financial ecosystem serving international communities across multiple markets. As TransferGo evolves beyond remittance into a broader financial platform, growth is no longer only about acquiring new customers. Our next phase of growth will come from helping customers discover more value, build stronger habits, stay engaged longer, adopt more products and become advocates who bring others with them.

That's why we're building a dedicated Growth Optimisation function.

About The Role

Growth at TransferGo is changing. Historically, growth was driven primarily by acquisition. Tomorrow, growth will increasingly come from activation, engagement, product adoption, referrals, monetisation and customer advocacy.

We are looking for the leader who will build that engine.

You will sit at the intersection of Product, Pricing, Data and Marketing, identifying where growth exists, proving it through experimentation and scaling it across the business.

Some weeks you may be redesigning onboarding journeys. Some weeks you may be testing subscription models. Some weeks you may be improving referral economics or building AI-powered lifecycle systems.
