About the Role:

The VP of Consumer Engagement Marketing plays a critical role influencing “C” consumers within a complex B2B2C setting. The VP will be responsible for the strategic development and execution of a new consumer engagement capability. This capability will not only continue to support efforts to reach consumers indirectly in collaboration with our B2B client initiatives, but also to directly engage with consumers on new business models and products that are DTC in nature.

A successful candidate will need to be agile juggling channels/touchpoints, products, services and different revenue models along all points of the vehicle ownership and assistance lifecycle.  

Reporting directly to, and working closely with the Chief Marketing Officer, this VP will have a direct hand in the development and execution of all consumer facing initiatives building the capability from the consumer up.  While the role sits within the marketing function it has the potential to become a start-up new line of business owning its own P&L. 

The VP will also work closely with Product & Technology, B2B Marketing, and our Insurance and Automotive business leaders.  The VP will also manage selective agencies and vendors as needed to execute strategies.

Through each consumer initiative the goal is to engage with consumers before and during their driver assistance needs building the underlying awareness, challenging the misperceptions rampant in the industry that act as barriers to category usage, and trafficking them to the appropriate digital intake channel so they can get the assistance they need quickly and efficiently.

At Agero we are committed to promoting the digitalization of our industry and look for candidates that are experienced in the digital tools required to impact consumer usage.  These include google analytics, search capabilities, omnichannel media mix, and consumer web/mobile app design.
