Great Gray is looking to add a Director of Content to our Marketing team. This role owns the editorial engine and content inventory that turns marketing intelligence into published assets. Reporting to the CMO, the Director of Content is the thought leadership production layer of the organization — taking positioning from Product Marketing and campaign briefs from Demand Gen and RPAG Growth, and producing the written content that fuels the entire demand generation machine 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 comes out of the financial services industry, ideally with deep experience in the defined contribution space from an asset manager, consultancy, broker‑dealer, or similar firm.

This position will work from our Boston, MA office. Great Gray currently supports a hybrid work model with 4 days onsite, and 1 day remote.

Great Gray is the leading independent provider of trustee and administrative services to Collective Investment Trusts (“CITs”), with over $370 billion in CIT assets under management, across more than 1,020 funds. 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.
