Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve the CEO Life brand across all markets, channels, and audiences
  • Translate our philosophy—presence over performance, depth over volume, relationship over transaction—into a brand identity that prospective members feel before they can articulate it

  • Ensure brand consistency across 35+ chapters while honoring the distinct character of each local community
  • Own the full-funnel marketing strategy driving new member growth across all membership tiers
  • Build high-performing programs across organic, digital, referral, content, and partnership channels—designed to attract the right leaders, not simply more of them

  • Partner with sales leadership and regional directors to align marketing strategy with chapter-level revenue goals and growth targets

  • Build communication flows, content programs, and community touchpoints that reinforce why members joined and compound their commitment over time

Requirements

  • Proven experience scaling brands in high-growth, community-driven, or membership-based environments—whether in executive communities, professional associations, luxury hospitality, wellness, media, or adjacent industries
  • Deep fluency in experiential marketing and a track record of turning in-person experiences into lasting brand equity and measurable growth
  • A builder's mentality—you have launched things from scratch, made decisions without complete information, and learned by doing
  • Full command of the modern marketing stack: brand strategy, performance marketing, content, social, email, CRM, SEO, AI and analytics
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills
  • A genuine belief that relationships are the most durable competitive advantage—not just as a philosophy, but as a strategic growth lever

Preferred

  • Experience shaping organizations to eight-figure scale
  • Experience with national/international expansion
  • Experience with chapter-based communities
