Checker, a market access network for financial institutions, is hiring their first Head of Marketing. The role encompasses all marketing disciplines including positioning, content, demand generation, partner marketing, events, PR, and sales enablement. The strategic focus is on category definition and messaging in the B2B fintech/payments space. The successful candidate will own the marketing function end-to-end, reporting directly to the CEO, starting as an individual contributor with budget to scale. The role requires 7-10 years of B2B marketing experience, particularly in LATAM fintech/payments, strong Spanish fluency, and the ability to translate technical concepts for executives.
Checker is the market access network for financial institutions. Banks, payment service providers, remittance companies, and FX brokers connect to us once and use that connection to reach markets they could not serve before and to launch products they could not build alone. We handle the infrastructure underneath: accounts, liquidity, local settlement, corridor coverage, and the compliance work that makes each of those things approvable.
We processed more than $3 billion in the twelve months to May 2026 with a team of four. We now have 15+ people across engineering, sales, and operations. Our customers include large traditional banks in London, South Africa, and Brazil, alongside PSPs and fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. We came out of stealth a few months ago, and this is the first year the market has known our name.
We are a global-first company. Our founders sit in the United States while our team spans across Africa, Latin America, and Europe. We come from trading, treasury, operations, and engineering, out of Wall Street hedge funds, large financial institutions, and infrastructure startups.
We are hiring our first Head of Marketing. You will own every marketing discipline at Checker: positioning, content, demand, partner marketing, field and events, PR, and sales enablement. You will report to the CEO and work with him closely, and your job is to take this off his desk rather than to wait for his brief.
The strategic problem is category definition. We win almost all of our deals against no incumbent, which means we are not taking budget from a competitor, we are creating it. Everyone selling stablecoin infrastructure uses the same eight words, so buyers arrive at the first call asking which of the familiar names we resemble. Your job is to make sure a prospect walks into the room already knowing what Checker is and what problem we solve, before anyone opens a deck.
The founder owns the narrative and will keep owning it. What we need is someone who can take the position out of his head, sharpen it, turn it into a system that runs without him, and hold the entire company to saying the same thing.
You will start as an individual contributor with budget for freelancers and agencies, and you will hire specialists and full-time staff as the function earns them.
Remote. We prefer Africa, Europe, or Latin America timezones, with reliable daily overlap with US Eastern.
