Why Great Gray?
At Great Gray Group, we strive to set the bar for the retirement services industry.

The Role
Great Gray is looking to add a Head of Product Marketing to our Marketing team. This role owns the intelligence layer that arms the entire marketing and sales organization with the right message for the right audience — producing the positioning, competitive intelligence, GTM playbooks, sales enablement, and proposal storytelling that every other marketing function depends on. Reporting to the CMO, you will determine what to say to each channel, each partner, and each advisor tier across both the Great Gray Trust Company and RPAG brands. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — you will set the direction and own the delivery. The ideal candidate brings a structured, analytical discipline to product marketing: someone who builds rigorous systems for competitive intelligence, messaging frameworks, and GTM planning, and executes against them with the same rigor.

We proudly work with more than 80 subadvisors, including leading firms such as AllianceBernstein, American Funds, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, MetLife, Neuberger Berman, PGIM, PIMCO and Raymond James.
CITs are more than just an investment vehicle. They represent a forward-thinking approach to retirement planning. These tax-exempt, pooled investment vehicles are offered to employer-sponsored retirement plans, like 401(k)s. CITs are comparable to mutual funds, but, because they are tailored for the institutional retirement market, they can offer distinct advantages, including efficient administration and cost-effectiveness. CITs have a history dating back over 90 years; but they have gained favor over the past decade, driven by innovations, and Great Gray has been at the forefront.
Great Gray has consistently delivered year-over-year growth at an above market rate and is investing in the continued development of its core CIT business as well as complementary administrative services and technology solutions for the retirement market.
