CBO: What we sell & stand for. CMO: Drive demand against that. COO: Drive supply against that.
We are looking for a leader who blends high-level commercial strategy with the tactical instincts of a builder. You are likely a CMO or Senior Marketing executive who has scaled a premium consumer or DTC business and thrives at the intersection of performance and brand vision.
The Hybrid Expert: You possess deep digital fluency but understand that a premium brand lives beyond the screen. You are highly experienced in digital growth but recognize that a "100% digital-only" playbook isnβt enough for a multidimensional consumer brand.
The Revenue Architect: You have a proven track record of scaling top-line revenue through aggressive Top-of-Funnel (TOF) strategies and relentless Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).
Digital Product Intuition: You have led experimentation and growth within digital products, treating the site experience as a living, breathing commercial engine.
The Visionary Driver: You lead with speed, a desire to win, and a bias for action. You are the "accelerant" on a team, pushing for big swings rather than playing it safe.
Founder Partner: You are energized by working alongside visionary, brand-led founders. You know how to respect and amplify a brandβs soul while owning the commercial results.
Culturally Plugged In: While you respect the numbers, you aren't "data-obsessed" to the point of paralysis. You lead with instinct, understand cultural zeitgeists, and know how to pivot a brand to capture a moment.
Operator Mindset: You are not a theorist or a consultant. You are an executor who values "doing" over "deck-making" and can get your hands dirty when you need to.
Youβre a cat person!
This is a seat designed for a leader who wants true autonomy over the engine of the business.
Unrivaled Revenue Ownership: You have end-to-end accountability for the top line. Your success is measured by the growth of the business, giving you a clear mandate and high impact.
Product as a Growth Engine: You wonβt just "market" the product; you will own the commercial roadmap of our digital surfaces, leveraging engineering and data to drive outcomes.
Clear Strategic Boundaries: Weβve eliminated the "gray areas" that plague most marketing roles. With a Founder-CBO owning brand authority and creative clarity, you are freed from brand-policing to focus on scaling and winning within clear brand guardrails. You get brand and creative but donβt need to own it.
Scale Without Dilution: You have the rare opportunity to scale a company with a strong, established cultural identity. You will build the systems that bring Smalls to the masses without ever losing the distinct "magic" that makes us who we are.
A Culture of Big Swings: If you are tired of risk-averse environments, this is your home. We are looking for a CMO who wants to push boundaries, move fast, and make a massive mark on the industry.
Mission-Driven Company: We love cats and we're here to make nine lives ten.
People-Driven Company: We treat our people like people; we're committed to Smalls, and we work hard but also respect everyoneβs lives outside of work.
Data-Driven Culture: We love using data to guide decision-making where appropriate, but we also know when to move quickly and go with our gut.
Competitive Salary: Make some $$$.
Very Competitive Benefits: Fully paid Health, Vision, and Dental insurance. 4-day work week. Unlimited PTO.
Fully Remote Office & Culture: Our team is spread across the US day to day, but we travel for department & company off-sites and retreats.
Free Product: Free cat food every month.
