About these roles
Real pay from currently open fractional marketing roles. We only show what companies actually posted.
Most pay figures you will find online for fractional CMOs come from surveys or guesses. This page takes a different approach. It shows only the pay that companies wrote into roles that are open right now on the board, exactly as they posted it.
That makes the data limited but honest. Many companies still do not post pay at all, and the ones that do use different units: monthly retainers, day rates, hourly rates and annualized ranges. We have not converted or averaged anything, because doing so would imply more precision than the data supports.
If you are setting your own rate, the most useful comparison is a role with similar hours, stage and location. The hours column below helps with that.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a fractional CMO make?
It varies widely by hours, company stage and location. The table on this page shows the pay ranges from currently open roles that posted pay, in the units each company used.
Are fractional CMOs paid hourly?
Some are, but monthly retainers and day rates are more common in the roles on this board. A few early-stage roles pay mostly in equity.
Why do so few roles show pay?
Many companies prefer to discuss pay directly. We show pay whenever a posting includes it and mark the rest as not posted.
