Job Description:

Founded in 1991 with the idea to be the alternative to the big banks, Wintrust has since grown into a financial services company with more than $45 billion in assets, headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois. Through our multiple companies and divisions, we provide traditional community banking and commercial banking services, wealth management solutions, commercial and life insurance premium financing, mortgage origination, and short-term accounts receivable financing and certain administrative services, such as data processing of payrolls, billing, and treasury management services. We provide community-oriented personal and business banking services to customers located in the greater Chicagoland area, northwest Indiana, and southern Wisconsin through more than 175 community bank locations.

Wintrust is in the midst of a digital transformation, on track to lead the industry with new digital banking products and services. Led by proven digital executives, our newly restructured corporate marketing department is building an agile, world class team structured with a fintech startup mindset. With this transformation comes great opportunity for the digital savvy, been-there/done-that marketer.
