Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Location: Remote (Work from anywhere, worldwide)

Stage: Pre-revenue, early-stage startup

Time Commitment: 15-20 hours/week

FIND Services is a fast-growing, bootstrapped startup with a bold vision: to become Africa’s premier, end-to-end talent export platform. We aren’t just another recruitment agency. We are building a trusted, high-quality pipeline that unlocks the economic potential of Africa’s youth while providing global businesses with a sustainable, diverse, and world-class remote workforce solution. We’re in the early stages, bootstrapped, pre-revenue and building an MVP. No funding. We've been in it for 2+ years now, building the foundation for scalable growth, and looking for a driven CMO to lead sales and marketing initiatives. You’ll join three other co-founders, Emerick Sam, Sirri Ayongwa and Cyrus Kazi—who are building the product and community.

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-agency, entrepreneurial Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to join our founding team. This is not a standard corporate marketing role; it is a partnership opportunity. As a foundational pillar of our organization, you will be responsible for defining, executing, and evolving our brand and growth strategies from the ground up.

If you are a builder who thrives in ambiguity, views sales and marketing as a unified engine, and is looking to build equity in a company you help shape, we want to hear from you. You will not be starting from zero. You will have full access to our existing sales and social media channels, as well as operational support from the co-founders and current project management and engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership: Take ownership of our marketing strategy. You will review and refine our current drafts, adapting them into actionable plans that move the needle and providing suggestions for improvement.
• Brand & Awareness: Lead all social media marketing and brand awareness initiatives. Lead the social media department and utilize our established channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X) to amplify our voice and build a community around our product.
• Integrated Sales & Growth: Lead the sales department and its function to ensure marketing efforts directly feed into lead generation and conversion. We view marketing and sales as a singular, interconnected operation.
• Growth Initiatives:Drive general outreach and creative growth experiments. You will be responsible for identifying new channels and strategies to acquire and retain users.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with existing departments, including social media, sales and engineering departments, to align product development with market messaging.

The Founding Mindset: What We Expect

• This role requires a mindset shift from "employee" to "founder." The ideal person will treat the company as their own.
• Proven track record in sales and knowledge of social media marketing.
• Radical Ownership: We do not look for people to manage tasks; we look for partners who identify problems and solve them. You are expected to take individual initiative to drive company growth, looking beyond limited scope.
• Results-Oriented Performance: We focus on milestones defined in the product roadmap, not the clock. There are no fixed hourly requirements; your success is measured by your output and the impact on our growth trajectory.
• Consistent Communication: Because we are building a lean, remote, or distributed team, transparent and consistent communication is the glue that keeps us moving forward.
• Ability to inspire a team, make tough decisions, and take-up multiple skills/hats.
• Can pivot between skills, from ops to marketing (founders are multitaskers).
• Genuine excitement about what we do and the drive to build something from scratch.

Benefits

• Equity Stake: As we are currently bootstrapping, this position is strictly equity-based. You are building alongside us, and your compensation reflects the long-term potential of the company. You get significant ownership in the company as a co-founder.
• Shape the culture, strategy, and future of the business.
• No corporate red tape! Freedom to build systems and lead without bureaucracy.
• Witness the birth of a startup, the good, the bad, and the "why did we think this would work?", gain experience from it all
