Marketing Agency Account Director – Financial Services (Banking Focus)

Location: Flexible / Remote Company: Whale

This is a business leadership role.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just manage client relationships— but owns outcomes, drives growth, and thinks like a partner to the business.

If you understand how financial institutions actually grow—and can translate that into marketing that performs—you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Own

Lead and grow relationships with banks and credit unions

Translate business goals into clear, executable marketing strategy

Drive integrated campaigns across digital, direct mail, and data-driven channels

Ensure every initiative ties back to measurable growth (accounts, deposits, loans)

Identify opportunities before the client does—and act on them

Elevate creative, strategy, and analytics into one cohesive story

What You Bring

5-7+ years in marketing, with direct financial services experience (banking or credit union)

Deep understanding of:

Deposit growth strategies

Loan acquisition

Customer segmentation and targeting

Ability to connect strategy → execution → results

Confidence to lead conversations with senior client stakeholders

A bias toward action

Why Whale

We’re built differently.

We don’t separate strategy, data, and creative into silos. We integrate them—and expect our leaders to do the same.

Work directly with leadership on high-impact accounts

Be part of a team that prioritizes thinking over task-taking

Influence real growth for financial institutions—not vanity metrics

Collaborate with strategists, analysts, and creatives who push each other

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive base salary + performance-based bonuses

Profit sharing program tied to company performance

Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision)

401(k) with company match

Who This Is For

Someone who is:

Frustrated being stuck in “order-taker” agency roles

Ready to step into true ownership and strategic leadership

Energized by solving real business problems—not just launching campaigns

If you’re ready to lead—not manage—we’d like to talk.
