Job Summary

Drive CareerPlug’s marketing function to own positioning, content strategy, and demand generation for franchisor and franchisee audiences, while aligning with product and sales to accelerate pipeline.

  • Own the strategy and execution for positioning, messaging, and content across website, sales materials, and onboarding.
  • Must-have: 5+ years in B2B SaaS marketing with leadership or senior IC experience.
  • Standout: Cross-functional impact with product, sales, and success, plus EOS familiarity.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead the team and the function
  • Lead a nimble marketing team and contribute directly alongside them. You'll set direction, remove blockers, and also produce work yourself
  • Manage and allocate marketing spend in line with company goals
  • Oversee relationships with an external agency and a roster of specialist contractors
  • Set quarterly priorities aligned to business outcomes and track performance against them
  • Work directly with the CEO on positioning, thought leadership, and content strategy
  • Work directly with the CEO to implement content, customer, and product marketing programs that deliver real results
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration with sales, customer success, and product
  • Bring our positioning to life across every touchpoint
  • CareerPlug has defined positioning and messaging. You make sure that the story we've built actually shows up consistently across the website, sales materials, launch messaging, onboarding flows, and content

Requirements

  • 5+ years in B2B SaaS marketing, with at least 2 years in a leadership or senior individual contributor role
  • Experience in environments where marketing plays a meaningful role in product adoption, customer activation, and lifecycle engagement
  • A content-first orientation: you understand how organic content, SEO, and thought leadership drive pipeline, and you're skeptical of (or at least not dependent on) paid advertising and traditional gated lead gen
  • Demonstrated ability to drive pipeline and revenue impact, not just top-of-funnel metrics

Nice To Have

  • Familiarity with the franchise industry, either marketing into it or working directly with franchise brands or operators
  • Experience with two-sided or multi-stakeholder business models
  • Background in HR tech, workforce management, or recruiting software
  • Deep HubSpot proficiency: you should be comfortable building workflows, managing lists, and getting into the weeds of CRM configuration when needed
  • Comfortable working in Asana and able to align a team to use it consistently
  • Familiarity with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) — CareerPlug operates on EOS and comfort with the rocks/scorecard model will help you hit the ground running

Benefits

  • Work from home (we're fully remote)
  • Employer Paid Health Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • Unlimited PTO (with minimums!)
  • One-week paid PTO (pre-start date)
  • Home Office Stipend
  • 401(k) Company Match
