VP of Marketing (Remote)

As VP of Marketing at CYCLOPS, you own how the company establishes itself as the leader in stablecoin solutions for payments companies. You shape CYCLOPS' position across digital presence, conferences, and every interaction with the payments ecosystem. This is a senior individual contributor role with a mandate to identify and own opportunities that move CYCLOPS to the #1 position when payments companies evaluate stablecoin solutions.

What you'll do

• Own brand strategy, including messaging hierarchies, visual systems, tone of voice, and overall positioning, evolving these as CYCLOPS grows.
• Develop and execute thought leadership strategy, including content, white papers, reports, bylines, and executive visibility across payments press and conferences.
• Lead end-to-end ownership of CYCLOPS' presence at payments conferences worldwide, deciding which events to attend, how to work the room, maximise sponsorships, and build relationships with organisers.
• Own digital brand presence including website brand expression, SEO strategy, AI/search optimisation, and how CYCLOPS appears across organic and AI-driven search results.
• Define and own the measurement framework for brand marketing, tracking metrics and reporting clearly to leadership.
• Build relationships with payments analysts, journalists, and industry influencers who shape how the industry thinks.
• Partner with clients and partners to develop co-branded content and activations that extend CYCLOPS' reach.

What you bring

• Deep experience working inside a leading payments company or one of the top platforms they partner with (payments orchestrator, PSP, network, acquirer, or equivalent).
• Hands-on familiarity with the payments conference circuit, having planned, staffed, and owned event strategy and execution, not simply attended as a delegate.
• Informed opinions on major payments events including Money20/20 (US and Europe), Fintech Meetup, Token 2049, and MAG.
• Strong grasp of digital brand and SEO/AI search optimisation in a B2B context, with strategies for how to win in AI-driven discovery.
• Deep understanding of consumer psychology, social proof, emotional triggers, trust, and authority, and how to apply these to marketing materials.
• An established network in payments where people know you.
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves and execute hands-on alongside strategy, not manage from a distance.

What we offer

• Competitive pay and a benefits package for U.S. team members including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Company-issued laptop and technology accessories.
• Annual in-person full-team meetup.
• Remote-first work with travel as needed.
