Job Description

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.

Location : Columbus, OH area preferred | Relocation available | Hybrid travel considered for the right candidate

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.
