Head of Marketing (8-month W2 Contract) - Talentful : Job Details

We're seeking a commercially-driven Head of Marketing to lead and execute our global marketing strategy during a key phase of transformation and growth across our group of companies, including Talentful, HIGHER, and Talentverse. You'll take ownership of demand generation, oversee our brand, events, and content strategy, and manage a high-performing internal team and freelance talent pool. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-oriented environment and knows how to build a pipeline and awareness through strategic marketing execution.

You'll be doing these things:

• Own and execute the global marketing strategy to drive qualified leads and brand engagement, aligned with business goals.

• Manage and coordinate a network of freelance contractors and agencies to scale output and quality across key campaigns.

• Optimize performance marketing, including paid social, SEO, email, and ABM programs.
• Work closely with sales, community, and leadership teams to ensure marketing efforts are aligned with commercial priorities.
• Oversee campaign analytics and reporting, using data to continually test, refine, and improve marketing ROI.
• Own the marketing budget, making smart, efficient decisions about spend and resources.
• Ensure brand consistency and effectiveness across all touchpoints globally.

We'd love to chat with you if you...

• Have proven track record as a Marketing Director or Head of Marketing in a high-growth B2B environment (ideally recruitment, talent, or professional services).
• Expertise in demand generation and performance marketing, with measurable outcomes.
• Experience managing and developing high-performing teams and external contributors.
• A confident strategist who can move from vision to execution, balancing big-picture thinking with operational excellence.
• Strong understanding of marketing tools and platforms (e.g., HubSpot, LinkedIn Ads, Google Analytics).
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Results-driven with a bias for action and data-informed decision-making.

The cash compensation range we have provided has been benchmarked against similar organizations of comparable size, sector, and age. Our offers of employment consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to, unique skill sets, specific expertise or certifications, and business/organizational needs. We have not adjusted the range for differing geographical locations, which we take into consideration when building equitable offers. It is not typical for us to hire talent at the top of the range for a role, in part because it's so important to us to allow all Talentful employees the opportunity to develop over time, and to feel rewarded for doing so. A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is 150k-200k USD.
