Lightspark is building the open payment protocol for the Internet making money move like data: instantly, globally, and without friction. With enterprise tools like Grid, Node, and Spark, businesses can send and receive money instantly, securely, and at a fraction of the cost, anytime, anywhere. Lightspark is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, but serves the world.

We're looking for a Growth Marketing Specialist to get Lightspark in front of the right people at the right time. You're an AI-native marketer who moves fast, experiments constantly, and knows how to drive pipeline. You own the full top-of-funnel: SEO, social, outbound, paid media, content, and website conversion. You don't wait for a brief, you spot the opportunity and go.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Develop and execute an organic search strategy that positions Lightspark as the authority in real-time payments and financial infrastructure. Write, commission, and optimize content that ranks and converts.

• Own Lightspark's social presence across LinkedIn, X, and beyond. Build a consistent voice, grow our audience, and turn followers into prospects.

• Design and run multi-channel outbound programs targeting the right decision-makers at financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprise partners.

• Plan, launch, and optimize paid campaigns across search and social. Know your CAC, your ROAS, and when to scale or cut.

• Partner with the web team to improve landing pages, CTAs, and conversion flows. Turn traffic into leads.

• Build dashboards, track performance, run experiments, and report on what's working. You make decisions with data.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 3–5 years of growth or demand generation marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, or developer-focused products

• Hands-on experience with SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush), paid platforms (Google Ads, LinkedIn), and marketing automation (HubSpot, etc.)

• Fluency with AI tools you use them to move faster, write better, and experiment smarter

• Strong written communication skills; you can make complex financial infrastructure feel approachable

• A bias for action: you'd rather launch, learn, and iterate than perfect before shipping

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, scrappy environment where you wear multiple hats
