Job Description

About Global Payment
In alignment with the company's globalization strategy and vision, the Global Payments team offers a comprehensive Fintech platform for our customers. Our products encompass fundamental payment acquisitions, disbursements, transaction monitoring, risk management, foreign exchange conversion, accounting, reconciliations, BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later), insurance, and more.

About the Role
We are looking for a seasoned Brand Marketing Strategist to lead the brand architecture and go-to-market strategy for our international payment and fintech product lines. This role sits at the intersection of brand vision, content innovation, and data-driven growth — and is built for someone who thrives in fast-moving, zero-to-one environments.

Key Responsibilities

0-to-1 Brand Strategy & Architecture
- Own the end-to-end brand architecture and positioning for international payment and financial products, from initial concept through scalable execution — delivering a clear, actionable long-term brand roadmap with defined milestones.
- Develop deep expertise in the consumer psychology and financial behavior of target overseas markets (including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America), and translate those insights into locally resonant brand identities and trust-building strategies.

Ecosystem Leverage & Viral Content Creation
- Unlock and activate traffic and content resources within TikTok and the broader ByteDance global ecosystem; design brand campaigns with strong social virality and content strategies with breakout potential.
- Drive viral spread and organic growth through highly creative short-video content, visual storytelling, and interactive mechanics that resonate with local audiences.
- Leverage short-form video, live streaming, and creator (KOL/UGC) ecosystems to launch breakthrough fintech/payment products overseas, simultaneously amplifying brand awareness and accelerating business growth.

Growth Path Planning & Data-Driven Optimization
- Define clear business logic and conversion funnels for all brand campaigns; build a robust brand equity measurement framework.
- Own and monitor key brand performance metrics — including Brand NPS, CAC, ROI, new user conversion rate, and DAU contribution — and continuously iterate on media spend and content strategy based on performance data.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Resource Management
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, PR, Monetization, and local market teams to ensure brand strategy is executed with full fidelity across all touchpoints.
- Source, onboard, and manage top-tier overseas creative agencies, media buying partners, and KOL networks to ensure efficient and high-quality campaign delivery.

The base salary range for this position in the selected city is $121600 - $288000 annually.
