Full Job Description

Consistently ranking among American Banker magazine's "Best Banks to Work For" for over a decade, Zions Bancorporation is a "Collection of Great Banks" with local brand names and management teams in each of our major Western markets.
And because we’ve known that, for over 150 years, our success has come from the exceptional dedication, experience and talent of our diverse employee base, we're committed to being the premier employer of choice.
Our expanding marketing team is building something special—a dynamic, in-house Creative Studio that will transform how we connect with customers. Under fresh leadership from our newly appointed CMO, we're reimagining what marketing can be while supporting a bank known for its experienced bankers, exceptional service, and local leadership deeply rooted in the communities we serve. This isn't just another financial marketing role — it's your chance to shape a creative vision with real impact.
You bring the talent; we bring the opportunity.
We’re seeking an exceptional Executive Creative Director of Visual Content to help lead and evolve our visual identity across photography, video, and illustration.
Marrying financial services expertise and creative excellence, this role is responsible for ensuring our enterprise brand and each of our seven affiliate brands express themselves with clarity, cohesion, and distinction through visual storytelling.
What You’ll Do
As Executive Creative Director – Visual Content , you’ll help develop and execute proprietary photography and video across the enterprise.
You’ll partner cross-functionally to establish the visual standards that guide how we present ourselves across wealth management, commercial and small business banking, consumer banking, and our digital platforms. This includes defining video, photography and illustration principles, content direction and standards that balance regulatory requirements with compelling, human-centered design.
Equally important, you’ll guide a producer and collaborate with the larger creative team in creating campaigns that move beyond transactional visuals to build lasting emotional connections with our clients in a way that reflects our commitment to helping clients achieve their financial goals.

Manage freelancer contracting, budgets, production schedules, and an image library of photography, video, and illustration

Compellingly present creative work to senior leadership and stakeholders

Stay attuned to design trends, visual storytelling innovation, and evolving client expectations in financial services

Roll up your sleeves and contribute to both day-to-day creative needs and large-scale campaigns in this hands-on role
What You Bring

Ten or more years of progressive creative leadership experience, with significant time spent developing visual identity systems and brand design frameworks

Deep portfolio demonstrating excellence in visual storytelling, ideally within financial services, fintech, pharma, journalism or other trust-driven industries

Proven ability to balance creativity with the constraints of regulated industries

Exceptional visual sensibility across formats and channels, from digital experiences to large-scale campaigns

Strategic thinking that connects business goals to visual expression and customer experience

Experience leading and developing creative teams, with a track record of attracting and retaining top talent

Extensive knowledge of and network within the photography and video industry

Expertise and experience with contracting processes and intellectual property law

Acumen in managing image libraries

Experience in production methods, supervising retouching and color correction

Comfort presenting to and influencing C-suite executives and board members

Understanding of how visual identity intersects with customer experience, product design, and business strategy

Proactive problem solving and collaboration skills that succeed in matrixed organizations and cross-functional partnerships
What Success Looks Like
Within your first year, you’ll have a hand in establishing clear, scalable visual identity guidelines for each of our affiliates and the enterprise brand that teams across the organization can confidently apply.
You’ll have launched several major campaigns that demonstrate our evolved visual identity and drive measurable business results.
Most important of all, your team will be energized, growing in their craft, and producing work that earns industry recognition—and, more importantly—client engagement.
Why Join Us
This is an opportunity to shape how a financial institution shows up visually during a transformative moment in banking. You’ll have the resources, leadership support, and creative space to do work that matters—work that connects and supports communities, helps people make smarter financial decisions, and builds more secure futures.
