Fractional CMO

Develop comprehensive B2B marketing strategies, lead client engagements, and architect multi-year marketing programs for an established agency (since 2009) serving professional services firms across multiple verticals. Own comprehensive marketing strategies and multi-year marketing action plans for multiple concurrent clients. This is a senior strategic role - you develop the strategies and plans that execution teams implement.

This is a primarily remote position with occasional in-person collaboration in the Tampa Bay area (quarterly or as needed). Tampa Bay area candidates strongly preferred; open to exceptional candidates in other US states.

• Has 20+ years developing comprehensive B2B marketing strategies across multiple industries
