Marketing Manager - KSA
تفاصيل الوظيفة
Who We Are Thndr was founded with a dream to democratize investing. We wanted to give anyone with a smartphone the ability to grow and preserve their wealth. What access and knowledge only few had, we wanted to extend to many. This, we believe, can only be achieved by increasing (and deepening) participation in local capital markets.History has shown that investing is the single greatest way to build long term wealth. However, there are a lot of barriers that prevent every day Saudi individuals from meaningfully participating in the stock market. The most significant of which is low financial literacy - personal finance and investing are rarely taught at home or school.The journey so farThndr launched in Egypt in 2020 and in less than four years, we've introduced 296K first-time investors to the Egyptian Stock Exchange. That's 66% of all investors on the EGX. Thndr's app is sleek and easy to use, but that alone doesn't explain why users felt confident to start their investing journey with us. We attribute much of that result to our commitment to educational content, be it easy-to-understand articles or accessible videos on social media.Our KSA VisionWe're coming to Saudi with the same mindset. Similar to Egypt, Saudi society struggles with low rates of financial literacy. This problem has been identified by the Saudi Ministry of Finance and is best quantified by the household savings rate, which currently stands at 1.6% of total household income. Saudi's Vision 2030 National Savings and Financial Literacy Strategy has set a target of increasing this to 10% by 2030. Through code and content - our bread and butter - we will work diligently to help achieve this goal.Thndr in NumbersOn our short journey we've validated that there is a need for our solution, as illustrated by these key figures in Egypt:3 million app downloads84% of users are first time investors65% of users live outside Cairo, Giza and AlexGrew from 8 to 250 employees in 4 years across Egypt and UAEBecame Egypt's largest retail broker: $8.8bn in annualized traded valueRaised $20M Series A from Beco Capital, Prosus Ventures, Tiger Global ++Built a sustainable business with sound unit economics and an accelerating user acquisition rate: acquired 31K users in Q1'23 vs 73K in Q1'24 (235% growth)Role in A Nutshell As the Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for leading and managing all marketing activities within the organization.
