Recruitment Specialist: Sourcing a Marketing Lead (Ongoing, Long-Term Potential)

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're a growing coaching and advisory business hiring a Marketing Lead: a senior, leadership-level role that will own our entire marketing function. We tried sourcing this ourselves and quickly realised we need a dedicated recruiter who can proactively find and vet senior talent, not just post an ad and wait. The role you'll be sourcing for: Full ownership of marketing strategy and execution: ads, content, email, landing pages, and more Works directly with leadership to drive initiatives end-to-end Senior/leadership hire only — not entry- or mid-level Should be comfortable operating autonomously and making their own calls, while also having experience being coached or working within a coaching/mentorship environment, someone who can take direction and feedback well, not just someone who wants to run solo Experience in coaching, advisory, or professional services marketing is a strong plus (not required) What we need from you: Ongoing, proactive sourcing and outreach. This is an active search, not a post-and-pray listing LinkedIn and other recruiting channels to reach a global candidate pool Screening against our brief so we only see qualified, relevant candidates A steady pipeline ; target of ~2 qualified candidates delivered per month Simple, clear reporting on pipeline status at each check-in This is a recruiting role, not a marketing role. We need you to find our Marketing Lead — not do marketing work yourself. Ideal candidate: Proven track record recruiting for senior/leadership marketing positions, ideally across global or remote talent pools Strong LinkedIn sourcing and outreach skills Comfortable with a longer runway — we're prioritizing fit over speed, so this search may run several months Organized and self-directed once given the brief Bonus: understands how to screen for candidates who are independent decision-makers but also coachable — since our own culture values being coached, we want a Marketing Lead who fits that same mold Engagement structure: Paid hourly Ongoing work over an extended period (up to ~1 year) as we build our team Regular check-ins to review pipeline and refine targeting To apply: Tell us about your experience recruiting for senior marketing/director-level roles, and briefly walk us through your sourcing process. Please provide your CV as well.
