About The Position

We are looking for a forward-thinking, AI-driven Director of Digital Marketing & Analytics to lead our Direct-to-Consumer marketing and data functions. This is a strategic leadership role for a modern digital leader who understands that marketing and data are inseparable — and who knows how to architect AI-enabled workflows that drive performance from lead acquisition through to insights delivery.
