How to Apply for Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

at Vexnovate Ventures

🏢 About Vexnovate Ventures

Vexnovate Ventures is a pre-revenue, early-stage tech startup dedicated to creating micro-SaaS solutions that foster ecological resilience and regeneration. As a remote-first company, they offer a unique opportunity to work from anywhere while building something meaningful from the ground up. Joining now means you'll have a direct hand in shaping the company's future and potentially earning equity as a founding team member.

About This Role

This is not a typical CMO role; it's a partnership opportunity where you'll be a foundational pillar, responsible for defining and executing the entire marketing and sales strategy from scratch. You'll have full autonomy to build brand awareness and growth channels, with operational support from management. Your work will directly impact the company's ability to make a positive environmental impact through innovative technology.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing analytics from social media channels, brainstorming content ideas with the team, and executing campaigns across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X. You'd also spend time refining the marketing strategy, perhaps collaborating with the founders on positioning, and engaging with the growing community. With full autonomy, you'd set your own schedule, but you'd be constantly communicating with the team to ensure alignment and progress.
