The Challenge

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built customer segmentation or personas at scale (B2C, preferably insurance, fintech, or retail); you have 10+ years in growth/marketing strategy
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity—you excel at defining problems, building hypotheses, and driving cross-functional solutions with minimal direction
  • You're a data storyteller: you can wrangle complex datasets, surface insights, and translate them into business strategy and executable plays
  • You thrive in enterprise environments where alignment, governance, and stakeholder management are as critical as analytical rigor
  • You're energized by impact at scale—millions of customers, billions in revenue, real strategic leverage
Won't Work If
  • You need 100% remote work; this role requires 3 days per week onsite at one of three locations (Chevy Chase, NYC, Chicago)
  • You prefer execution over strategy; this is a strategic advisory role, not a hands-on marketing operations or campaign role
  • You lack enterprise experience or comfort navigating complex organizational politics and cross-functional buy-in; GEICO is large and matrixed

Likely with Chief Marketing Officer or VP of Growth; discussion of strategic vision, org priorities, and long-term fit
