The CMO role at StartupAdvantage is open because Alexandria is growing, and Initiative is suddenly our busiest department. A c-level CMO seat that takes 17 years of Analytical Thinking seriously, pays $316,000 - $627,000, and hands over the general reins.
Key Responsibilities
- Turn ambiguous Analytical Thinking requests into shipped, measurable outcomes
- Represent StartupAdvantage professionally with vendors, partners, and customers
- Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
- Own the follow-through after the general meeting ends
- Onboard, mentor, and guide newer team members when called upon
- Run point on general incidents until they're truly resolved
- Read between the lines of what Alexandria customers actually need
- Earn the trust to make candor-rich judgment calls without a committee
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
- An eye for the ownership-driven detail that separates fine from finished
- Fluency across Relationship Building and Initiative, with strong opinions on both
- Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
