Senior Director, Brand & Product Marketing Strategy

Chicago, IL

Department: Marketing  

Reports To: Head of Growth 

Employment Type: Full-Time 

Salary: $195,000 – $230,000 

 

About the Role 

You own the message across every surface the company controls. From first strategic thought to the last asset a customer sees, you make sure what we say is sharp, on brand, and worth paying attention to. You are the single person accountable for the message surviving every handoff intact. 

In a brokerage, message integrity is two things at once: editorial and regulatory. You hold both. The work must be the best in the category, and it must clear review. The promise: on time, at pace, at quality, on message, and in compliance, the whole way down. 

 

What You'll Do: 

Product Marketing 

  • Build a real product marketing discipline where there is ad-hoc coordination. Own the launch calendar, gate process, and cross-org dependencies so every launch runs from one master plan. 
  • Translate customer segmentation into positioning that speaks to our highest-value targets. Own a live competitor matrix; in derivatives, outdated positioning is a liability. 
  • Set cross-product adoption targets on every launch and produce messaging enablement, so every customer-facing team carries consistent differentiation. 
  • Track launch on-time rate, gate adherence, cross-product adoption, and message consistency across customer-facing surfaces. 

Comms & Social 

  • Own messaging and editorial standards across owned social and communications. Hold a brand voice consistent on every surface we control. 
  • Own communications, PR announcements, brand moments, and the narrative around launches. Amplify executive voices and turn earned moments into owned content. 
  • Build and operate this function 
  • Track owned channel engagement, audience growth, and share of voice. 

Creative Strategy & Production 

  • Own the creative quality bar and the production pipeline end to end. Compress cycle time by pairing internal leads with outside resources, scaling partner capacity to meet demand without quality drift. 
  • Move to a testing framework. Run testing methodology for owned and brand creative and feed structured learnings into the Performance team’s paid-creative work. 
  • Track creative production volume, on-time delivery rate, and brief-to-launch cycle time. 

Cross-Functional Partnership 

  • Co-own the advertising review workflow with Compliance (FINRA advertising review, including options of disclosure requirements). Build review into the timeline as a standing gate, not a surprise. 
  • Own brand-health measurement: awareness, sentiment, and share of voice, reported to leadership quarterly. 
  • Track brand health, compliance, first-pass approval rate, and review cycle time. 
  • Support revenue, new accounts, and ARPU by contributing to the upper-funnel quality and message that make them move. 
  • Support CAC and conversion by raising the quality of the message and creative that prospects encounter before they ever reach a performance channel. 

Who You Are: 

  • 12–15 years in leading marketing with real depth across product marketing, brand, and creative. 
  • 5–8 years leading teams including managers, with a track record of building and developing people. 
  • Experience in a regulated industry, strongly preferred in financial services or fintech. FINRA familiarity and willingness to obtain a Series 24 are a plus. 
  • A portfolio that shows high-quality creative shipped at scale and the judgment to hold a quality bar under deadline pressure. 
  • Fluency with brand measurement and the ability to connect brand work to business outcomes without overclaiming. 
  • Bachelor’s degree required. 

Why This Role Matters: 

Most of the company’s revenue comes from a small core of high-value, experienced traders, and the strongest channels for reaching them are the ones we own and earn, not the ones we buy. That makes this role the lever. Get the message right, ship it fast, keep it compliant, and the whole engine works better. This is where brand stops being decoration and becomes the thing that compounds.

Company Perks + Benefits: 
  • Performance Bonuses 
  • Stock Purchase Options 
  • Medical/Vision/Dental Benefits 
  • 401k Plan 
  • 20 Paid Vacation Days (plus an additional paid vacation day the month of your birthday!)

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
