Biscuit, Zopa’s current account, is a major growth driver as we scale from hundreds of thousands to millions of customers. It also marks a sharper creative identity for the brand, giving us a platform that is smart, witty and culturally fluent.

Social is central to achieving this growth, helping us reach new audiences at an affordable CAC. Paid will drive efficiency, while organic builds trust and cultural relevance. Together, they will grow reach, drive conversion and make Biscuit a product people genuinely want in their wallet.

This role blends creative instinct, spotting trends early and shaping native, scroll stopping ideas, with operational excellence across paid and organic channels, test cycles and community reputation.

You will lead across both paid and organic, with paid a key priority for 2026, working closely with digital performance, marketing, creative, PR, compliance, analytics and product marketing. You will also oversee community management and step in for escalations when needed.

A senior role for someone who wants to influence narratives, elevate creative standards and build the social engine that will scale Biscuit to the next level.
