Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.
Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.
We're looking for an Organic Growth & Discovery Lead to own the on-site and off-site content that makes Dave findable in search and AI answer engines, and to turn that visibility into new members at an efficient cost.
This role sits within the User Acquisition team and focuses on how Dave gets found. You will own the onsite content portfolio that earns the ranking, the offsite authority that earns the citation, and the reporting that proves any of it worked. Content is the whole job - most of what wins here is a well-built portfolio with real topical authority behind it and the editorial judgment to know what is worth publishing. Dave is an app-first business, so the bar for this channel is filling and converting the web-to-app funnel, generating new members at an efficient cost, not solely traffic acquisition.
You will not own the technical layer. Your Product and martech partner owns site structure, site speed, the technical roadmap, and tooling. You need to be fluent enough in technical aspects of SEO and AEO to know what is limiting discoverability and to make the case for it cross-functionally.
You’ll work closely with teams across brand, content, product, martech, analytics, partnerships, and compliance. AEO is new; not everything will be fully defined - part of the role is helping shape what organic discovery should even mean for a consumer fintech, including how we measure a surface the industry hasn’t standardized yet based on your SEO expertise.
People look for ways to cover a bill before payday in many places, and more of that searching now happens within an AI assistant. The work you build here puts an affordable, transparent option in front of them at that moment, instead of leaving them to whatever surfaces first.
You own the outcome, not just the ranking. You think about how organic discovery affects the broader business - from acquisition cost to member quality and long-term retention - and you get traction on work you don’t own by bringing a business case rather than a best practice. You exercise judgment about brand safety and regulatory risk without waiting to be policed.
You also work well across teams. Organic discovery requires coordination across product, martech, brand, content, partnerships, and compliance, and you build trust with those partners along the way. When new information changes the path forward, you adjust thoughtfully while keeping momentum. Feedback and collaboration sharpen the work.
You’ll have meaningful ownership in shaping how organic discovery contributes to Dave’s growth. Some opportunities will be clear. Others will require experimentation and creative thinking. Decisions here are grounded in data, member impact, and long-term business outcomes.
