About The Position

The SVP, Head of Industry Strategy, Finance and Insurance leads Acxiom's strategy across the financial services and insurance verticals, including banking, lending, cards, wealth management, and property, casualty, and life insurance. This senior leader sets direction for the finance and insurance teams and serves as the strategic authority for how Acxiom grows in categories where data is heavily regulated and consumer trust is central to every relationship. The role pairs commercial growth with a working command of the rules that govern data in these industries. It partners with sales and client leadership to prioritize accounts and accelerate deals, while making sure every solution respects the line between marketing use of data and regulated credit and underwriting use. This is a leadership role that stays close to the detail, building enough depth to guide teams and earn credibility with the marketing, data, and compliance stakeholders on the client side. Success means Acxiom is seen across finance and insurance as a partner that understands both the growth opportunity and the regulatory guardrails, with measurable revenue to show for it.

Requirements

• Fifteen (15) or more years of experience in industry strategy, client leadership, or solution selling, with significant time in financial services or insurance.
• Working knowledge of the regulations that govern data in these industries, including GLBA, FCRA and permissible purpose, credit based insurance scoring, and state insurance oversight under the NAIC framework.
