Fintech seeking CMO and CPO
Zip is enjoying significant local growth if its recruitment is anything to go by.
The fintech is currently seeking a CMO and a chief product offer to add to its team. Both roles are new and will be in addition to the existing marketing team already in place. The new roles will sit within the executive team, and be responsible for leading Zip through its next growth phase and beyond.
Katrina Ang, who is currently head of marketing and is staying in this role, started working with Zip in 2018 in order to relaunch the Zip brand. The work was designed to unify the finance technology company’s two key products, Zip Pay and Zip Money, under a master brand, providing greater synergy across all communications and touchpoints.
Zip co-founder and CEO, Larry Diamond, told CMO the company is experiencing exponential growth.
“We are scaling our marketing and product teams to improve our customer experience and relationships,” he said. “Zip requires an exceptional CMO to drive consumer acquisition, retention and frequency whilst supporting partner success, and a dynamic chief product officer to deliver measurable business results through product features and solutions that meet market needs and company goals.”
Zip is one of Australia’s fastest growing fintechs and the company behind products such as Zip (Zip Pay, Zip Money) and PocketBook. Zip issues credit and facilitates payments, both online and in-store, connecting partners (i.e. merchants/retailers) with consumers helping them buy and pay on the platform.
Currently, over one million customers choose to pay with Zip, which is available online and in store at more than 12,500 retailers.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
