We offer a high degree of flexibility, allowing you to structure your workday to effectively accommodate these global interactions when necessary.

Reporting to the Global Head of Product Marketing & Brand Communications, we are looking for a Global Customer Marketing Manager based in Toronto to play a pivotal role in engaging our customers, driving payments and expansion revenue, and ultimately increasing customer lifetime value in our core markets.
