ABOUT THIS ROLE

Reforge is looking for a visionary operator to oversee our marketing function.

Reforge partners with the top operators in tech, and is building the leading learning and development platform for Product and Growth practitioners and teams. With 20,000+ members, a multiple 6 figure email list, and hundreds of VP / C level partners excited to go to market together; there is a strong distribution starting point for you to take to the next level.

Our ideal marketing leader will have a natural bend towards media and acquisition. Creator Operators are at the heart of the Reforge value proposition, and we are looking for someone who can accelerate our growth through telling their stories and sharing their learnings. We imagine evolving from a predominantly long form content and WOM marketing approach, to a modern media powerhouse featuring our operators across podcasts, newsletters, YouTube, and social media sites. If you are pushing the boundaries of modern media to drive acquisition for brands, we want to talk to you!

In addition to a deep focus on media and acquisition, the Head of Marketing will own revenue targets for our Courses and Teams lines of business. This role will own marketing tip to tail, and partner closely with a growth-focused product organization.

As the Head of Marketing, you will be a key member of Reforge's leadership team and play a critical role in helping us grow our business - setting the vision and strategy for Reforge Media, our fast-growing community of creator operators, and spearheading new media products we develop.

The right candidate will be a seasoned leader with experience inspiring teams, developing and growing innovative media products, and pushing everyone to think bigger.
