GEICO is seeking a strategic, collaborative marketing leader to serve as Director, Agent Marketing, responsible for driving growth and retention through GEICO's in person distribution channels: GEICO Exclusive Agents (GEAs) and Independent Agents (IAs).

This leader will act as the single-threaded owner for agent marketing, translating business strategy into marketing strategies that drive consumers to the agents and provide agents with marketing support they need to be successful.
