The Role

GeoComply is seeking a highly experienced and strategic Senior Director, Marketing and Communications to lead and manage all global marketing and communications efforts. This pivotal full-time role will be responsible for both developing and executing a comprehensive strategy to elevate GeoComply's market perception and position it accurately within the global anti-fraud and cybersecurity space.

The ideal leader will possess a proven track record of successfully shifting market perceptions, driving brand narrative, and demonstrating the strategic importance of technology solutions to executive leadership and across diverse markets and jurisdictions. This role demands a unique blend of strategic foresight coupled with the ability to translate vision into tangible operational changes and compelling, multi-channel communications. This is an exciting opportunity to directly impact GeoComply's future growth, brand recognition, and position as a critical partner in fraud prevention.

Key Responsibilities

As the Senior Director, you will lead, manage, and execute across the full spectrum of marketing and communications:
Global Marketing & Communications Strategy: Develop, own, and champion a comprehensive, top-down, and multi-pronged strategic marketing and communications framework. This includes repositioning GeoComply as a leading provider of anti-fraud solutions, moving beyond the existing perception as solely a geolocation compliance provider, and then leading the global execution of this framework across all relevant channels.
Executive Messaging & Narrative Leadership: Take full ownership of crafting compelling and resonant messaging and narratives that clearly articulate the value proposition of GeoComply's anti-fraud suite to executive-level stakeholders. Emphasize its direct impact on their bottom line and sustained profitability. Oversee the development and delivery of all necessary communication materials to ensure these messages are effectively conveyed.
Stakeholder Engagement & Relationship Management: Lead the identification of key executive stakeholders within GeoComply's client base, and strategically develop and implement tailored communication and engagement plans to influence their perception. This includes direct engagement and fostering long-term relationships.
Multi-Channel Strategy & Content Ownership: Design, implement, and manage a multi-channel communication plan that leverages various touchpoints, including executive briefings, thought leadership content, strategic event participation, digital marketing, PR, and innovative communication methods to reach and resonate with senior leadership, the broader market, and all stakeholder groups. You will be directly responsible for leading and overseeing the creation of all content required for these channels.
Internal Alignment & Brand Stewardship: Collaborate seamlessly with GeoComply's internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering, IT, and Executive Leadership) to ensure consistent messaging, brand alignment, and full support for all repositioning efforts. Develop and lead internal communications initiatives to foster this alignment and ensure brand consistency across the organization.
Performance Measurement & Optimization: Define, monitor, and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of all marketing and communication strategies. Provide regular, data-driven progress updates, insightful recommendations for optimization, and comprehensive reports and presentations for executive leadership and the board.
Market Intelligence & Strategic Application: Conduct thorough analysis of the current market perception of GeoComply, identify emerging trends, opportunities, and potential challenges in shifting this perception. You will directly apply these insights to continuously refine and optimize the overall marketing and communication strategy and execution.
Operationalization & Team Leadership: Translate strategic frameworks into detailed, actionable plans with clear timelines, responsibilities, and resource allocation. Drive the operational changes necessary to implement these plans effectively. You will be responsible for potentially building, leading, and managing a marketing and communications team as the function grows.
Comprehensive Stakeholder Communications: Develop and execute strategic communication initiatives targeting investors, internal teams, partners, customers, the broader market, and media. This encompasses crafting tailored messaging, overseeing the development of relevant communication materials (presentations, reports, newsletters, press releases, website content, social media), managing media and public relations, and ensuring consistent and impactful communication across all key stakeholder groups to support GeoComply's strategic objectives and repositioning efforts.

Who You Are:

Extensive Experience (10+ years preferred): Significant experience in a senior leadership role within strategic communications, corporate marketing, or executive-level communications, ideally within the technology, SaaS, or financial services sectors. A demonstrable track record of not just developing strategy but also leading its execution with measurable results.
Market Perception Shifter: Proven track record of successfully shifting market perceptions, enhancing brand reputation, and elevating the strategic importance of technology solutions among executive leadership. This includes hands-on experience in creating impactful communication materials and implementing comprehensive communication plans.
Business Acumen: Deep understanding of business strategy, financial drivers, and the concerns of C-suite executives, with the ability to translate this understanding into compelling, executive-level communications that demonstrate ROI.
Exceptional Communicator: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the proven ability to craft compelling narratives, develop various forms of marketing and communication content (presentations, articles, talking points, digital campaigns, press releases), and present complex information clearly and concisely to diverse audiences.
Analytical & Strategic: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop data-driven marketing and communication strategies and translate these strategies into actionable operational plans that drive results.
Influential Leader: Excellent stakeholder management and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and influence at all levels within and outside the organization. Proven experience effectively collaborating with cross-functional teams and managing complex projects from strategic conception to operational implementation.
Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with the iGaming, fraud prevention, or cybersecurity landscape is a significant asset.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Communications, Marketing, Business Administration, or a related field; an advanced degree is preferred.
