Role Purpose
This is a senior, head-of-function role operating at the commercial intersection of the business when a client goes live. The role is responsible for driving employee adoption, engagement and habitual use of Paymenow and its value-added services across client employee bases.
The role will develop and execute strategies that move employees from initial onboarding and awareness to sustained usage, working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to ensure successful activation and ongoing engagement.
This is not a traditional marketing or client service role. It requires a commercially minded individual who understands employee behaviour, change management, engagement and activation within large, often deskless, workforces.
