About these roles

Fractional marketing leadership roles where the company says the job could become full time or a co-founder seat.

Some companies start a marketing leader on a fractional basis because they are not ready to commit to a full-time executive yet. If the work goes well, the role becomes permanent. This page only lists roles where the posting says that out loud, for example contract to hire, fractional to full-time, or a co-founder option.

These roles suit people who are open to joining one company long term. If you want to stay fractional across several clients, it is worth asking early how and when the company expects to make the decision, so both sides know what success looks like.

Frequently asked questions

What does contract to hire mean for a CMO role?

It means the company plans to start you on a contract or fractional basis with the option to convert you to a full-time employee later, usually after a set trial period.

Do I have to accept the full-time offer?

No. A contract-to-hire role is an option for both sides. Many fractional leaders discuss up front whether they want to convert, so the expectations are clear from the start.

How do you decide which roles go on this page?

A role only appears here when its title or posted hours say contract to hire, fractional to full-time, or mention a co-founder option. We do not guess from vague wording.
