With the acceleration of FinTech, InsurTech, and digital-first financial services across markets like India, SEA, and China, BFSI brands are redefining customer acquisition, engagement, and retention through mobile-first strategies. As financial institutions double down on marketing efficiency, regulatory adaptation, and real-time measurement, the need for tailored insights, benchmarks, and industry-specific narratives is higher than ever. This role plays a key part in deepening AppsFlyer's consultative partnership with the BFSI ecosystem - helping us guide key clients, shape our GTM strategy, and capture upside across a high-potential vertical.

What You Have - 10+ years of experience in BFSI or FinTech, ideally across growth, digital, marketing, or strategy roles, with exposure to regional (India and APAC) dynamics. - Familiarity with financial regulation, digital banking, and mobile-first innovation in markets like India, China, and ROA: including relevant bodies such as RBI, IRDAI, and PBOC. - Demonstrated ability to influence CXO-level stakeholders through insight-led engagement and strong vertical credibility. - Experience partnering with Sales, Customer Success, and cross-functional GTM teams on high-value enterprise opportunities. - Highly analytical with the ability to extract and translate performance data into client value and strategic recommendations. - Comfortable contributing to public-facing thought leadership including content, presentations, or industry participation. - Strong cross-cultural collaboration skills and ability to work across diverse markets and teams. - Proven ability to connect business goals and challenges in BFSI with measurable marketing and attribution solutions, creating value-based narratives for enterprise stakeholders. - Based in India; willingness to travel within APAC as needed.
