Director of Marketing

X by 2 is an IT consultancy comprised of strategists, software architects, software engineers and designers. Through cutting-edge technology, advanced data analytics and human-centric design, we help insurers and healthcare organizations meet the demands of today's digital consumer.

As our Director of Marketing, you will lead the development, execution, and ongoing evolution of our marketing and public relations strategy.
