Senior Director, Brand & Communications

Billtrust US Careers

About The Position

The Senior Director, Brand & Communications is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping and protecting Billtrust’s market presence across every dimension — brand identity, content, communications, design, and digital experience. This leader sets the strategic direction for how Billtrust is perceived by customers, prospects, partners, and the broader market, and ensures that perception is built and reinforced consistently across all channels and formats. This role will lead the charge helping to reframe the category, and the conversation we have with our audiences through well developed, long-term strategic narratives that will reflect Billtrust’s point of view, our unique differentiation and our value, with a dose of provocation and breaking from convention in the category. This is a defining time for the Billtrust brand and this role will be instrumental to how we tell that story, how we build awareness, earn attention and drive growth for the company. This role will report into the CMO and lead a broad, high-impact team that includes a Creative Director, a Director of Content, a Marketing Communications Director (senior IC) who oversees PR and social presence, a Graphic Design team, and ownership of the Billtrust website. You will leverage AI tools and co-worker agents to increase the velocity and quality of output across all these functions — while focusing your leadership on the vision, talent, and cross-functional relationships that drive long-term brand equity and market credibility.
