Head of Department, Marketing

Do you want to lead the marketing efforts in one of Denmark's largest banks and help build a strong brand with both national reach and local presence?

APPLY FOR THE JOB

AL Sydbank is in the middle of an exciting and extensive transformation process, where three banks have merged into one of Denmark's largest banks. The ambition is to create a bank that combines national reach with local presence and a strong business with social responsibility.

As part of strengthening market development, AL Sydbank seeks an experienced, strategic and commercially strong Head of Department for Marketing who can lead Marketing and help build the bank's brand, strengthen recognition and support the customer-facing units in Denmark's new large bank.

With reference to the area director for Reputation & Impact, the new Head of Marketing will be part of the management team. The role entails a large amount of independent responsibility, and will navigate across all organizational levels, including the executive management and the board.

As Head of Marketing you will have the overall responsibility to set the strategic direction for the bank's marketing efforts and to translate the brand ambition into concrete initiatives that strengthen awareness, relevance and commercial impact across customer segments and channels. You will lead the bank's marketing employees and take a central role in developing and driving a cohesive marketing and brand strategy that both supports the merger's business goals, the local anchoring and the desire to position AL Sydbank as a strong, clear and responsible large bank in the market.

Marketing covers a broad range of tasks including events, sponsorships, campaigns, branding and digital channels. You must therefore be able to cover the traditional marketing disciplines while also bringing a strong business understanding into play. This includes navigating both B2C- and B2B-marketing and understanding the bank's different target groups and business areas. At the same time you must be able to manage budgets and external agencies and act confidently in a heavily regulated sector and an organization undergoing change.

As Head of Marketing in AL Sydbank you will especially have to

• lead the bank's marketing employees
• develop and realize the bank's marketing and brand strategy
• build a strong awareness of AL Sydbank
• support a high customer satisfaction
• ensure a strong alignment between the marketing effort and the bank's commercial goals
• navigate safely in a regulated sector and an organization undergoing change

You are an experienced leader with a strong commercial understanding. You can combine strategic direction with hands-on leadership and create followership among skilled and specialized employees.

You are a strategic and commercially strong marketing profile with solid experience in developing brands, creating sales-supporting marketing initiatives and translating insights and KPIs into targeted activities across digital and physical channels. At the same time you are used to working closely with the business, external agencies and other stakeholders – and you understand how to translate local presence and customer perspectives into initiatives that strengthen relevance, awareness and commercial impact.

Your day-to-day will be at the head office in Aabenraa, but you should also expect to travel to Copenhagen, where part of the staff is located.
