Head of Marketing
Lean Marketing — Home of The 1-Page Marketing Plan
We’re scaling to 8 figures fast and need a Head of Marketing who wants full ownership of the engine driving one of the best-known small-business marketing brands in the world. If you’re obsessed with data, hungry for impact, and thrive in a high-intensity A-player environment, you’ll love building a system here that prints predictable revenue.
This is a direct-response marketing role within an expert-led business. We need someone who understands how authority, ideas, lead magnets, email sequences, webinars, VSLs, sales pages, offers, and sales conversations work together to create revenue.
Ideally, you’ve worked in coaching, consulting, online education, expert-led brands, masterminds, paid communities, certification programs, book funnels, or similar businesses where trust, authority, education, and conversion drive growth.
You won’t be starting from scratch. We already have a strong brand, proven offers, existing funnels, sales leadership, RevOps support, a bestselling book, and years of intellectual property built through The 1-Page Marketing Plan. The opportunity here is to make all of it work together better.
This is a leadership role, but not a purely managerial one. You’ll set direction, manage the team, work with vendors and contractors, and own performance. But we run lean, so you also need to be hands-on enough to improve the work, unblock execution, and keep things moving.
When you do your job well, we don’t just grow. We become the best example of the kind of marketing we teach.

Compensation & Structure
This is a full-time, fully remote independent contractor role. Candidates can be based anywhere, but the role requires meaningful overlap with both U.S. West Coast and Australian East Coast working hours, including regular live collaboration across both time zones. Because of that, it will not be practical from every location.
Compensation for this role is structured as base plus a performance-based bonus, with total compensation typically ranging from $120,000 to $160,000 depending on experience, pedigree, and fit. Bonus compensation is tied to specific pre-agreed quarterly targets.
Even though this is a contractor role, we offer 38 days PTO. We do not offer traditional employee benefits.
