Calling all change champions, inspired doers, and real-world brand builders.

Finch Brands, a real-world brand consultancy, seeks an experienced, high-energy Director of Sales & Marketing to help us continue to grow across our range of services. We seek to help brands win when it matters most by listening (via market research), planning (via brand strategy), and engaging (via design and other forms of activation) across our clients’ employees and customers. As champions of purposeful change, we must proactively attract the right prospects and successfully convert them into leads.

This role is responsible for the ‘top of the funnel’ – deploying lead generation and marketing strategies to help Finch Brands grow. While well-supported with business development and marketing teammates, this person must understand what it takes to attract, nurture and convert leads through the right marketing touch points and activities to fill the pipeline. The entire company has aggressive growth goals, and this position is no different.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Overseeing the development of a winning lead gen approach for the sales team to execute
• Overseeing the development and highest potential deployment of our various marketing tactics (such as SEO, content, trade shows, etc.)
• Coaching and developing both business development and marketing staff
• Managing the marketing budget, partner roster, and calendar

Finch Brands will be heavily invested in this person’s success. We have a broad-based marketing program that will help fuel demand (this role will shape), and our leaders will be available and engaged when it comes to pitches, thought leadership activities, and beyond.

Company Description

Finch Brands is a real-world brand consultancy. We help brands win when it matters most by blending insight, intuition, and creativity to shape brand strategy and drive people to action.
Finch Brands was founded in 1998 by executives instrumental in the ascent of IKEA and David’s Bridal.
Their original vision was to create the firm they couldn’t find when they were in our clients’ shoes – an end-to-end brand development and management powerhouse that seamlessly delivers breakthrough strategy and irrepressible design.
To accomplish this, we've brought together leaders from brand-first organizations like Campbell Soup Company, Kimberly-Clark, Mars, and Target. These experiences make us a better, more instinctive partner and we put this hard-earned expertise to work for clients across categories and all along the growth track.

• 5+ years’ experience and a proven track record of helping win clients in a knowledge-based category (consulting, design, market research, etc.)
• A demonstrated ability to both build and execute sales & marketing plans
• Deep curiosity about business, people, and culture
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Smart financial management, a profit focus, and growth mindset
• Ability to perform at a high level and multi-task in a VERY fast-paced environment

Candidate Attributes:

• Self-starter mentality (Be a driver, not a passenger) with a strong bias for action
• A growth-oriented mindset and willingness to move beyond their current comfort zone to develop new skills
• A remarkable work ethic and superior attention to detail
• An ability to learn new things quickly
• Collaborates effectively and has co-workers’ backs
• A natural curiosity regarding brands and business with a focus on delivering results
