Marketing Team Structure Plan

About this task

This online learning platform for professional exams (1,001–5,000 employees) is looking for a director Fractional CMO for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Which roles to hire first, which to outsource and why.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It works in education, with a calendar built around terms and enrolment peaks.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United Kingdom works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

What you deliver

• Recommend a three-year marketing structure and a hiring order for a 30-person company.
• A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer
• One round of edits after the company's review is included
• A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

How the work runs

• Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files
• Days 2 to 5: the work, with questions answered the same day
• Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

Duration: 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

• You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.
