The Role
You'll become the fractional CMO for one of our partners — a B2B company that has product-market fit and needs someone to own the entire marketing function. Not advise. Own.
This isn't a consulting gig where you drop in, make recommendations, and disappear. You'll be in their Slack, on their calls, leading their growth. You'll have a full execution team behind you (design, content, dev, campaigns) — your job is to point everyone in the right direction and make sure we hit the numbers.
You'll work closely with founders and executives. You'll make decisions that matter. You'll be judged on outcomes, not activity.
What You'll Actually Do
Build and own the marketing strategy for your partner company — positioning, messaging, channels, priorities
Lead planning sessions, set quarterly goals, and make sure we're working on the right things
Coordinate with the execution team — briefing work, reviewing output, keeping everything aligned
Report directly to the client's leadership — you're their marketing leader, not a vendor they manage
Analyze what's working, kill what isn't, and adjust fast
Contribute to Stubb's overall thinking — share learnings, improve our playbooks, make us all better
Who You Are
You've led marketing before. Maybe as a head of marketing, maybe as a CMO, maybe as the first marketing hire who built everything from scratch. Title doesn't matter. You've owned a number and delivered.
You're a generalist who can go deep. You understand brand, demand gen, content, paid, product marketing — and you can zoom in when needed, even if you're not executing everything yourself.
You're opinionated but adaptable. You have a point of view on what works. You also know when to listen, learn, and adjust based on new information.
You move fast. You don't need three meetings to make a decision. You gather context, commit, and course-correct as needed.
You're allergic to bullshit. You won't recommend something just because it's trendy. You won't hide behind jargon. You'll tell the client when something won't work — even if they don't want to hear it.
You actually like the work. Not the meetings about the work. The work itself. Digging into data, crafting positioning, seeing a campaign click. If that doesn't excite you, this isn't your role.
What You Get
Full ownership of a client relationship — real responsibility, real outcomes
A team that actually executes — you lead, they build
No internal politics, no bureaucracy, no "that's not how we do things here"
Compensation tied to performance — we all win when our clients win
Flexibility in how and where you work — output matters, everything else is negotiable
A team that's genuinely fun to work with — we take trips together because we actually like each other
