The posting

As Brand Manager for the UK/EU, Aggregator & Expansion Markets, you will be the custodian of Mukuru’s brand across some of our most strategically critical and culturally rich regions. You’ll translate Mukuru’s global brand into local relevance—shaping how diaspora communities see, trust, and choose Mukuru when supporting loved ones across borders.

You will sit at the intersection of brand strategy, cultural insight, community connection, and commercial impact—driving growth through meaningful, locally resonant storytelling.

Your Mission

To accelerate brand growth, trust, and adoption across the UK, EU and expansion markets by delivering insight-led, culturally grounded brand strategies that influence acquisition, retention and long-term loyalty.

Customer & Market Insight

  • Produce deep-dive market intelligence on diaspora behaviour, remittance sentiment, category shifts and competitor innovation.
  • Build continuous insight loops via community engagement, customer feedback, agents, analytics and social listening.
  • Identify underserved diaspora clusters and growth opportunities within the UK/EU and expansion markets.

Brand & Product Campaigns

  • Lead 360° regional campaigns from concept to execution—balancing creativity with performance.
  • Partner closely with Digital, Performance, CRM and Content teams to deliver integrated campaigns.
  • Oversee A/B testing, brand lift studies and post-campaign reporting to inform future optimisation.

Partnerships & Community Presence

  • Build trusted relationships with diaspora organisations, cultural groups, influencers, ethnic retailers and community leaders.
  • Support aggregator partnerships through tailored co-marketing strategies and co-branded executions.
  • Strengthen Mukuru’s on-the-ground credibility, visibility and trust within diaspora communities.

What You Bring

Qualifications

Experience

  • 4+ years' experience in brand management or marketing, ideally across multiple markets.
  • Proven experience working with multicultural or diaspora audiences.
  • Background in fintech, payments, financial services or consumer brands is highly advantageous.

Skills & Expertise

  • Strong strategic brand thinking with hands-on execution capability.
  • Excellent storytelling, messaging and creative judgement.
  • Confident working with data, insights and performance metrics.
  • Exceptional project management and stakeholder collaboration skills.
  • High cultural sensitivity and community-first mindset.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
