About these roles

Part-time marketing leadership at startups and SaaS companies, including founding team and equity roles.

Startups hire fractional marketing leaders because they need senior judgment before they can justify a full-time executive. The work usually centers on positioning, finding the first repeatable channel and building the plan that a future full-time hire will inherit.

This page shows roles that mention SaaS, technology, startups, founding team or equity in the posting. Early-stage roles sometimes offer equity instead of cash, and the pay line on each role says so when the posting does.

Frequently asked questions

Do startups pay fractional CMOs in equity?

Some do, especially before a funding round. Many combine a smaller cash retainer with equity. Read the posting carefully and ask for the vesting terms.

What do startups expect from a fractional CMO?

Usually positioning, a go-to-market plan, a first channel that works and help hiring the team. Experience at a similar stage matters more than company size.
