Flutterwave was founded on the principle that every African must be able to participate and thrive in the global economy. To achieve this objective, we have built a trusted payment infrastructure that allows consumers and businesses (African and International) make and receive payments in a convenient borderless manner.
The Role
Flutterwave is hiring a Growth Marketer. This role will be responsible for driving on-ground growth and brand expansion for Send App within Nigeria, building a vibrant local ecosystem that fuels both domestic adoption and diaspora transaction growth.

- Build scalable grassroots growth playbooks tailored to Nigeria’s diverse regions and demographics.
- Own growth KPIs across active users, new user acquisition, transaction volume and local retention, driving them through a full 360 marketing approach spanning both above the line and below the line tactics.

- Build mutually beneficial partnerships that accelerate user acquisition and drive transaction growth.
- Collaborate with enterprise and regional teams to align partnership strategy with broader Nigeria business objectives.
Brand Awareness & Positioning
- Lead localized brand campaigns that resonate with Nigerian audiences across online and offline channels.
- Work closely with Brand and Communications teams to ensure consistent, culturally relevant messaging.
- Drive hyperlocal marketing experiments and scale high-performing acquisition channels.
- Ensure strong visibility and presence across priority Nigerian cities and regions.
Consumer Insights & Product Feedback Loop
- Design and lead structured consumer feedback mechanisms including focus groups, surveys, and community listening sessions.
- Translate on-ground insights into actionable recommendations for Product and Growth teams.
- Create a tight Nigeria-based customer → product → growth loop that improves product-market fit and user retention.
- Continuously test, measure, and optimize local growth initiatives based on user data and insights.
Performance Tracking & Scaling
- Own reporting for Nigeria growth metrics and provide regular insights to senior leadership.
- Run rapid growth experiments and iterate based on performance data.
- Build repeatable frameworks that can scale across additional Nigerian regions.
- Support expansion initiatives that strengthen the two-sided ecosystem between Nigeria and the diaspora.
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university.
- 7+ years of experience in Growth Marketing, Field Marketing, Consumer Marketing, or Ecosystem Development within fintech, telecom, FMCG, or high-growth consumer technology environments.
- Proven track record of driving aggressive user acquisition in Nigeria through on-ground and community-led strategies.
