Position: SVP Marketing
Application Deadline: May 24, 2013

The Polygon family of companies is among the most well-established and highly respected home builders in British Columbia. Locally-owned and operated since 1980, the company has built more than 20,000 homes throughout the Lower Mainland, ranging from concrete high-rises to wood-frame condominiums, townhome and single-family communities. The Polygon family of companies is founded on four values that form the core of how it does business – called the Polygon Foundations, they are Trust, Sincere Care, Forward-Thinking and Environmental Responsibility.

Over the years Polygon has consistently been an innovator and industry leader – for example in developing new building technology, in reducing environmental footprint, and in contributing to the community. It has also been a leader in its marketing, embracing new media and new ways of connecting with buyers and telling the story. Now Polygon is seeking an outstanding marketing leader and strategist who will drive forward and push the bar higher to ensure that Polygon stays at the front of the pack.

The SVP Marketing reports to the President & CEO and acts as the marketing ‘champion’ throughout the organization. Candidates should have at least ten years of marketing experience, in an innovative and sophisticated environment. While in some ways knowledge of the new home sector will be a plus, Polygon is also open to considering individuals from other sectors who can bring a fresh approach and mindset to its marketing.

We need an individual who is totally at home in the digital and social media worlds, and understands what combination of media and tools to use in each situation. Who is passionate about the power of the brand and the need for consistency in its use. Who will inspire and coach Polygon’s talented in-house marketing team, and its consultants, to new levels of creative and execution excellence. Who understands and appreciates today’s world and its diverse communities and consumers, and can find ways to connect with them. And has a good sense of design, excellent taste, and creative flair.

We know these are demanding requirements – they match what is one of the very best marketing positions in Vancouver. Polygon offers a busy, challenging and highly professional environment, and attractive compensation which includes profit-sharing.
