About Learntastic

Learntastic is on a mission to make learning engaging, accessible, and effective. We're looking for a hands-on, strategic marketing leader to help us sharpen our brand, grow our audience, and drive measurable growth — without the cost of a full-time executive hire.

The Role

We're seeking an experienced Fractional CMO to own our marketing strategy and execution on a part-time basis. This is an ideal role for a senior marketing leader who wants the strategic scope of a CMO position with the flexibility of a fractional engagement. You'll work closely with the founder/CEO and a small internal team (and/or outside contractors/agencies) to set direction, prioritize initiatives, and drive results.

What You'll Do

  • Strategy & Leadership
    • Develop and own the overall marketing strategy aligned with company goals and growth stage
    • Define target audience segments, positioning, and messaging
    • Set marketing budget priorities and allocate resources for maximum ROI
  • Brand & Content
    • Guide brand voice, visual identity, and messaging consistency across channels
    • Oversee content strategy (blog, video, social, email) to build audience trust and engagement
  • Growth & Demand Generation
    • Lead customer acquisition strategy across paid, organic, and lifecycle channels
    • Identify and prioritize highest-leverage growth channels for the current stage of the business
    • Set and track KPIs (CAC, LTV, conversion rates, funnel metrics)
  • Team & Vendor Management
    • Manage relationships with agencies, freelancers, or in-house marketing hires
    • Provide direction and feedback to contractors handling execution (design, ads, SEO, etc.)
  • Reporting & Optimization
    • Establish reporting cadence and dashboards for marketing performance
    • Present regular updates to leadership on progress against goals
    • Continuously test, learn, and optimize campaigns

What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of marketing experience, including senior/leadership roles (VP, Director, or CMO level)
  • Required: Proven marketing leadership experience in EdTech and/or SaaS (B2B or B2C) — please only apply if you have direct experience in one or both of these spaces
  • Demonstrated success transitioning organizations from paid-acquisition dependency to sustainable organic growth (SEO, content, community, referral, etc.)
  • Strong grasp of both brand marketing and performance marketing
  • Comfortable being hands-on — this role blends strategy with execution, especially in a lean team environment
  • Experience managing agencies, freelancers, or small marketing teams
  • Data-driven approach with fluency in marketing analytics tools
  • Excellent communication skills; able to work autonomously and report clearly to leadership
  • Must be based in the United States and authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Available for ~20 hours/week with flexibility to align with team working hours

Nice to Have

  • Experience scaling an early-stage or bootstrapped company
  • Existing network of trusted freelancers/agencies for design, paid media, SEO, etc.

Compensation & Terms

  • Rate: $5,000–$7,000/month, commensurate with experience
  • Hours: ~20 hours/week (flexible schedule)
  • Engagement type: Contract / fractional (1099), not a full-time employee role
  • Location: Remote, U.S.-based candidates only

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
