ARQ is one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the world. Our mission is to redefine how people interact with money across borders, building the infrastructure to move value seamlessly. We’re still early in our journey, which means every person who joins shapes the future of our product, culture, and growth. If you’re excited by big challenges, global impact, and the chance to grow fast with a world-class team, ARQ is the place to do it.

What you'll be doing

Special Projects Lead will work closely with the founders to drive the most critical initiatives for the company. Beyond scope of work and priorities, it is in the DNA of ARQ to do whatever it takes to win. In this role you will:

  • Work with the product and marketing teams to identify and launch new revenue streams or improve monetization of existing ones.

  • Partner with growth and product teams to design and execute activation and cross-sell programs that increase revenue per user and improve product adoption across the customer base.

  • You help execute local growth efforts - including community building, affiliate marketing, brand marketing and influencer marketing

  • Identify, execute and own initiatives that directly improve gross margin whether by growing revenue, reducing COGS, or cutting operating costs.

  • Negotiate with vendors and partners to improve commercial terms.

  • Track and report on the P&L impact of active projects, holding teams accountable to targets.

What you'll need

  • 3-6 years of experience as an entrepreneur in a VC backed company, a top tier management consulting firm (BCG, Bain, McKinsey), or in a top tier investment bank (bulge bracket)

  • Strong stakeholder management skills, able to bond with critical partners and manage customers needing support

  • Excellent organisation, being able to find information about all areas of the company

  • Resourceful, with maximum attention to detail and due diligence

  • Strong analytical skills and taste for aesthetics

  • Ability to work well as part of a team, driven, relentless and a proven closer - you don’t take no for an answer

  • Business fluent in English; Spanish or Portuguese a plus

  • Ideally, you are an expat (or have been an expat) living in London or willing to relocate (ARQ can sponsor your visa)

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • Stock options, so you own part of what you build

  • Discretionary performance bonus

  • The latest tools and technology

  • A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills
