PROVIDENCE – The R.I. Commerce Corp. is seeking candidates for its chief marketing officer position that have a working knowledge of Rhode Island and its assets.
The quasi-public state agency is not using a search firm to find candidates and is in the process of reviewing resumes.
It is something the state’s tourism leaders, who have stressed the need to have a chief marketing officer with local knowledge and marketing skills, agree with.
