Vice President, Marketing Experience

Leadman & Associates is partnering on an exclusive search for a VP of Marketing Experience / Chief Experience Officer to unify a multi-brand marketing organization and lead a centralized Center of Excellence across creative, media, social, digital, and brand activation

This role is built for a transformational leader who can connect strategy to execution, elevate creative quality, and drive measurable performance across dispersed teams

If you thrive building high-performing teams, influencing without P&L ownership, and love pairing storytelling with data, this is a rare chance to make a visible enterprise impact.

Why You Should Consider This Opportunity

• Strong Compensation + Incentives: $350K base and 50% bonus with competitive short- and long-term incentives

• Enterprise Scope: Centralize and lead creative, media, social, digital, and brand activation across multiple business units

• High Visibility: Direct report to the COO, board interest, and the mandate to modernize the marketing operating model

• Build From the Core: Stand up a Center of Excellence with clear SLAs, shared tools, and unified brand standards

In This Role, You Will

• Lead the integration of creative, media, social, digital experience, and brand activation into a single Center of Excellence

• Set the enterprise media strategy and oversee agency stewardship and performance management

• Define operating rhythms, intake, and SLAs that align BU needs with centralized resourcing

• Partner with BU leaders, the COO, and senior HR to drive consistency, speed to market, and measurable ROI

• Build and mentor a multi-disciplinary team; close talent and capability gaps with a clear workforce plan

• Establish KPI scoreboards and governance that tie creative quality to business outcomes

What You Bring to the Table

• 15+ years in senior marketing leadership across either agency and/or corporate environments

• Track record running integrated media and large budgets across multi-brand portfolios

• Expertise in digital experience , journey mapping, analytics, and content systems

• Proven success building or leading a centralized marketing function or COE

• High EQ with the ability to influence in complex, matrixed organizations

• CPG, retail, food, or lifestyle brand experience preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a ground-up modernization moment with executive sponsorship, meaningful resources, and the chance to shape how marketing works at scale. You will define the operating model, raise the creative bar, and deliver a unified brand experience that moves the business forward.
