Your Opportunity: Director of Marketing
The Director of Marketing is a strategic and hands-on leader responsible for shaping and executing the Bank’s marketing strategy in support of continued growth, brand awareness, client engagement, and the overall client experience. This role serves as the Bank’s primary marketing leader, working closely with executive leadership, market leaders, relationship managers, and key business partners to ensure our brand, messaging, and marketing efforts reflect who we are as a relationship-focused private and commercial bank.
The Director of Marketing will bring together strategy, creativity, execution, and measurement. This individual will be expected to understand the business of banking, not simply how to market products, and translate the Bank’s strategic priorities into thoughtful campaigns, communications, events, and experiences that strengthen existing relationships and create opportunities for new ones.
As a highly visible partner across the organization, the Director of Marketing will help ensure the Bank presents a consistent and differentiated identity in every market we serve. The ideal candidate is someone who can move comfortably between high-level strategic conversations and hands-on execution, brings new ideas forward, understands how to prioritize competing needs, and takes ownership from concept through completion.

* Partner with executive leadership to translate business priorities into clear, actionable marketing initiatives.

* Maintain and evolve brand standards across digital, print, advertising, events, presentations, collateral, and internal and external communications.
* Ensure the Bank’s marketing reflects the sophistication of our clients while remaining personal, approachable, and relationship-driven.
* Develop messaging that reinforces the Bank’s commitment to Relationships, Solutions, and Trust and brings those values to life through the client experience.
* Identify opportunities to strengthen brand awareness and positioning within the communities and industries the Bank serves.
Business Development & Market Support
* Build strong partnerships with market leaders, relationship managers, and business development teams to understand their markets, clients, prospects, and growth opportunities.
* Develop targeted marketing strategies and materials that support relationship managers in building their networks, deepening existing relationships, and generating new business opportunities.
* Create market- and industry-specific campaigns that reflect the unique needs of the Bank’s client segments.
* Partner with banking leadership to identify opportunities to promote the Bank’s deposit, lending, treasury management, private banking, specialty banking, and other capabilities in a way that is consultative rather than product-driven.

Digital Marketing & Communications
* Oversee the Bank’s digital presence, including website strategy, social media, email marketing, digital campaigns, and other online channels.

* Oversee the planning and execution of key Bank events, ensuring a high-quality experience that reflects the Bank’s brand and culture.
* Look beyond traditional banking marketing to identify creative ways to strengthen the Bank’s presence within the communities it serves.
Internal Partnership & Culture
* Build trusted relationships across the organization and create a marketing function that is viewed as a proactive and solutions-oriented business partner.
* Work collaboratively with executive leadership, banking, credit, operations, technology, compliance, human resources, and other departments to support enterprise-wide initiatives.
* Partner with the People team, when appropriate, on employer branding, recruiting campaigns, employee communications, and initiatives that reinforce the Bank’s culture.

This leader should be equally comfortable developing a long-term marketing strategy, sitting with a relationship manager to understand a business development opportunity, preparing an executive presentation, evaluating the effectiveness of a campaign, or stepping in to ensure an important initiative gets across the finish line.
