GEICO is on an exciting journey to transform into a more modern marketing organization, and this role is central to how we tell that story both internally and externally. The mandate is simple: elevate the GEICO brand through proactive, strategic communications that showcase the innovative work happening across the company.

This is a true builder role, with the opportunity to launch marketing communications as a new capability - from strategy and team design to agency model, processes, and ways of working. The ideal candidate is energized by a blank piece of paper and the chance to put their fingerprints on a new function built from the ground up.

This role operates in a high visibility, fast-moving environment supporting one of the most recognizable brands in the country.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a communications liaison across GEICO's broader roster of external agencies - including creative, media, and digital partners - to ensure alignment on messaging, brand voice, and proactive storytelling opportunities.

Requirements

• 10+ years of communications experience with a focus on marketing communications, brand PR, and consumer communications.
• Experience in both agency and in-house settings. You understand how to manage and get the best out of agency partners - both a dedicated communications agency and the broader ecosystem of creative, media, and digital agencies that support a large marketing organization.
• Experience building new capabilities in fast-paced, dynamic environments. Comfortable operating with ambiguity and taking an entrepreneurial approach to problem-solving.
• Retail or consumer brand PR experience strongly preferred.
• Established relationships with reporters and editors at major marketing and advertising trade publications.
