Job Summary

Drive coaching founders on growth strategy as a Fractional CMO within Efficiency Sprint, guiding them to prioritize channels and implement a scalable operating system.

  • Own 1:1 coaching engagements with founders post-sprint to deliver hands-on guidance
  • Must-have: Real Fractional CMO or growth leadership experience in founder-led startups
  • Standout: Ability to turn complex marketing plans into clear, actionable steps for non-marketers

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Coach founders on marketing and growth strategy: helping them prioritize channels, build sustainable acquisition systems, tighten their positioning, and make smarter decisions about where to invest their limited time and budget
  • You're not executing campaigns for them — you're helping them think and act like a CMO for their own business
  • Work 1:1 with founders who have completed our 90-day sprint (or are mid-sprint) and want hands-on guidance

Requirements

  • real experience as a Fractional CMO, marketing leader, or growth strategist — ideally with founder-led businesses or early-stage companies
  • actually enjoys teaching and coaching, not just advising — you get energy from watching someone else level up
  • can simplify complex marketing strategy into clear, actionable steps a non-marketer founder can execute
  • are comfortable working within an existing framework rather than building everything from scratch — you'll use Efficiency Sprint's methodology as the backbone
  • Want a flexible, scalable way to take on coaching clients without the overhead of finding them yourself
  • Operate with a bias toward clarity and honesty — our founders are allergic to vague strategy-speak

Preferred

  • Bonus points if you have coaching experience, or experience coaching founders; familiarity with Efficiency Sprint framework.

Benefits

  • Clients delivered to you
  • A proven framework to coach within
  • Flexibility. This is fractional by design. You set your availability, we match you with clients that fit
  • A way to scale your impact. If you're already doing fractional CMO work and want to add a coaching revenue stream alongside it, this is built for that.
