Are You the Right CMO for the Job, And Is It Right for You?

By understanding the skills of individual CMOs and applying the framework to evaluate the potential CMO-firm fit, CMOs and companies alike can increase the likelihood of a strong match. CEOs and job specs aren’t always clear on the role that CMOs are interviewing for, so it’s critical that CMOs ask questions about whom they report to, who they’ll manage, the budgets they’ll control and the changes they’ll have the latitude to make. CMO candidates can engage the CEO in a candid dialogue about what kind of CMO role the company is recruiting for, and even educate the CEO on CMO types. This can help CMOs adapt the role to better fit their skills. Knowing what type of role you excel at and what type of role the company is really offering will better enable you to maximize your success.

Knowing the Four Types of CMO Roles Can Help Employer and Potential Employee Get the Best Fit

The CMO is arguably the most difficult job to fill in corporate America, with the highest turnover rate of any executive position. Finding and retaining the right CMO is a challenge.

The problem — and opportunity — lies in matching the expectations of the organization with the capabilities of the CMO. Not all CMO jobs, or CMOs, are the same. Reducing turnover is predicated on making better matches that synchronize the CMO’s role with his or her capabilities.

Through research and discussions with dozens of CMOs, we’ve uncovered distinct CMO positions and skills. Below is a framework that CMOs can use to vet potential roles and that recruiters can use to engage a CEO in a candid dialogue about the needs of the organization. CEOs and recruiters can also use this framework to better identify the type of marketing leadership that the company needs and then strengthen the fit between the CMO’s defined role and the type of CMO they recruit.

To increase your chances of finding a good fit, start by understanding the type of CMO you are and the role that best suits you. There are four types of CMO roles: strategist, business developer, general manager and marketing specialist. Each calls for specific skills.
