Head of Marketing (growth & content focus)

Are you a builder who lives to create and problem-solve? Is your idea of spare time reading books and blogs, listening to podcasts, and watching videos to get more marketing ideas and inspiration? Are you like a racehorse at the starting gate, ready to run and help grow a business?

We’ll just come right out and say it: we’re looking for a marketing leader who’s prepared to play a Big Role in a Big Win. We’re not trying to get a base hit here; we’re aiming for the fences. And we need a VP Marketing who can provide the leadership, coach the team, and run the plays to get us there.

This is one of those pinch-me-I’m-dreaming opportunities to lead a marketing team at a marketing-led business that sells marketing software and services.

This is your chance to join early and grab a cockpit seat on a rocketship.

Who is Jottful?

Jottful is reimagining the way small businesses market themselves online — starting with their websites. We’re an early-stage software company with a rapidly growing all-remote workforce.

What is this position all about?

We’re entering a new stage of rapid growth.

We have product-market fit. We have hundreds of customers and the makings of a mini-brand. We have an off-the-charts NPS, glowing customer testimonials, and spectacularly low churn rates.

We have a growth engine in place (direct response video advertising). And we’re building a community and marketplace to drive non-linear growth in the future.

We have a lot going for us. And now we need a marketing leader to roll up their sleeves and take it to the next level.

This position reports to the company’s CEO (the very person who managed to mix horse racing, baseball, and space-exploration metaphors in a single job description) and has Board-level exposure.
