Impact You'll Make
The Director of Market Development for Financial Services Consumer Lending will support the Consumer Lending line of business’s efforts to deliver on the revenue targets and business development objectives of the LOB’s three-year strategic plan and annual operating plan. The director will serve as an expert on the application and implementation of TransUnion solutions for short-term lenders and finance companies and will engage with customers, partners and internal resources as necessary to meet the annual business goals and strategic objectives.
The Director will be responsible for writing and implementing the Market Development Plan, which will articulate how we will execute the LOB strategy and three-year plan.
Beyond direct engagement with the sales teams to identify and close opportunities, the director will also work with the sales organization to ensure that account planning for our target markets aligns with the overall Market Development Plan.

Design and execute initiatives (training, materials and incentives) to push new and high priority products or offerings into the market
Work with the marketing teams to create effective content for the sales team to leverage
Identify new product opportunities, build business cases to drive prioritization, and act as the key business stakeholder in the product development process, interacting with both Chicago and Atlanta development and product teams
Participate in meetings with our largest customers as a market expert and SME
Provide input on the agenda for TransUnion’s Alternative Lender Advisory Board
Attend industry conferences to meet with customers and prospects to stay abreast of industry trends and customer needs
