We’re on a mission to make migration easy. We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans. But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones. To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest. We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the place for you. CRM sits within the User Experience team, helping Marshmallow build more effective, joined-up communication with our customers across the business. CRM is a meaningful driver of impact for the organisation, with clear opportunities to improve how we engage customers and measure the value of that work. This role will help shape how CRM is used at Marshmallow by building strong foundations, enabling others to use the platform effectively, and creating the governance needed to make customer communications work better across multiple teams.
