About these roles

Part-time Head of Marketing roles, often the first senior marketing hire at a startup or growing company.

Head of Marketing is often the first senior marketing hire a company makes. A fractional Head of Marketing usually builds the foundations: positioning, the website and core messaging, the first paid and lifecycle programs, and the reporting that shows what is working.

Because the role is so hands-on, many of these openings ask for fewer hours than a fractional CMO role but more direct execution. The hours and location on each listing come straight from the posting.

Frequently asked questions

What does a fractional Head of Marketing do?

They own marketing for the company on a part-time basis, usually combining strategy with a lot of hands-on work, and often hire the first marketing team members.

It depends on the company. At startups, Head of Marketing is usually the top marketing role. At larger companies it can sit below a VP or CMO.

Do these roles lead to full-time positions?

Some do, especially at early-stage companies. Look for founding team or contract-to-hire language in the title.
