Checkout.com is seeking a Manager, Communications to lead communications strategy and execution for a high-growth fintech platform processing over 10 billion transactions annually. This role sits within the Communications and Content team and is ideal for an experienced communications operator who thrives in fast-paced, scaling environments.
You will own multiple dimensions of the communications function: developing and executing owned content strategy that drives business outcomes; identifying, pitching, and placing stories with journalists across trophy, business, and tech press; managing the press office including inbound media requests, interview coordination, and SLA management; building and maintaining relationships with analysts and influential voices in fintech and payments; coordinating multi-channel campaigns and reactive communications briefs; leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity without sacrificing quality; identifying and executing awards and recognition opportunities; and tracking performance metrics to inform strategy refinement.
The ideal candidate brings 8–10 years of communications experience, with substantial time in high-growth tech, fintech, or startup environments. In-house experience is strongly preferred. You have a proven track record of placing stories, not just writing them. You write fluently across formats—press releases, pitches, briefing documents, social copy, short-form content—all at pace. You're comfortable building genuine relationships with journalists, analysts, and influencers. You operate with sharp execution discipline: managing multiple workstreams, hitting deadlines, and running a tight press office. You're self-starting and resilient, comfortable navigating ambiguity without extensive hand-holding. You're data-aware, using analytics to understand what's working and adjusting strategy accordingly.
Checkout.com operates a hybrid model with three days per week in the London office to support collaboration and team connection. The company has 20 offices across six continents and is backed by significant venture funding. This is a role for someone ready to make a career-defining impact in fintech communications at scale.
