at Ophelos
Full TimeAt Ophelos, we believe in a different way to deal with debt. One that puts empathy and understanding front and centre, approaching our customers as individuals — no matter what they’re going through.
For too long, people in debt have borne the brunt of poor industry practices. Intimidating tactics, time-consuming customer service and a one-size-fits-all approach that overlooks the reasons anyone can fall into debt in the first place. Meanwhile, businesses suffer too. Poor customer experience translates to poor customer satisfaction, high churn rates, bad brand reputation and ultimately missed opportunities.
That’s why we’re taking a radically different approach. Pioneering an industry-first AI-native collections platform, we build products that help individuals clear their debts in a way that suits them, whilst providing businesses with an improved customer experience and game-changing insights into their customer base.
Since our launch in 2021, we’ve worked with some of the UK’s leading companies, including Octopus, Scottish Power and Philips — helping millions of people move toward a more stable, debt-free future. In 2023, we were acquired by Intrum, Europe’s biggest credit management service and have begun the next phase in our growth — expansion into 17 European markets over the next two years.
Ophelos is a financial health company - we use AI-native technology to help people in debt get back on track with their money.
We’re developing a completely new way of handling the customer experience - leveraging in-house AI to design intelligent, personalised and adaptive journeys that help people navigate difficult financial situations with clarity and dignity. We’re looking for an exceptional individual to join our marketing team and lead that transformation.
You’ll own the entire end-to-end customer experience from a brand perspective, from the first touchpoint (like an email, SMS or letter) through to the product copy and final resolution. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our product, data and engineering teams to train AI models, design and optimise messaging, and shape every element of the journey — including what we say, how we say it, and when we say it.
This is not just a comms role. You’ll uncover behavioural insights, test new approaches, and advocate for the customer across every part of the business. You’ll ensure that our journeys aren’t just compliant and efficient, but also empathetic, human and effective.
There’s no fixed blueprint for this role - it’s a new kind of marketing job right at the forefront of emerging AI technology. You should have a strong grasp of customer journeys and lifecycle marketing, but we’re especially looking for someone with curiosity, ambition, has their finger on the pulse, and the confidence to shape something that’s never been done before.
In this role, you’ll get to:
As this is a new type of role, we don’t expect you to tick every box. But experience in some of the following will be a good foundation:
