Chief Marketing Officer

Overview

We are a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer CPG brand building a modern, capital-efficient growth engine across paid, owned, and organic channels. We’re seeking a Fractional CMO or VP of Marketing to own strategy, execution, and performance accountability across our marketing stack. This is a hands on keyboard role.

This role is ideal for a senior DTC operator who has scaled CPG brands, understands modern ad platforms and AI-driven creative workflows, and can bring discipline to marketing P&L management—while working collaboratively with (or replacing, if needed) an external agency.

There is a potential co-founder path for candidates who are excited to invest personal capital and help shape long-term brand and growth strategy.
