Part-Time | Remote (Australia-Based Preferred)
Strategic Leadership Role — Execution Not Required
About the Role
Butler Advisory is seeking a seasoned, senior-level marketing leader to serve as a fractional CMO on a part-time consulting basis (approx. 0.5 day/week). This is a highly strategic role focused on guiding and approving high-leverage marketing activity — not executing it.
As our highly talented internal team drives day-to-day implementation, we require a trusted strategic marketing partner to provide final-stage insight, campaign oversight, and decision-making. Your input will directly replace the current dependency on the founder who remains the bottleneck for reviews, approvals, and direction.
You'll work closely with the founder to own marketing judgment calls, increase speed to execution, and uplift campaign quality — with the autonomy and clarity expected of a senior advisor.
Key Responsibilities
* Serve as a strategic sounding board and final decision-maker on major marketing initiatives
* Provide insight and direction to improve clarity, sequencing, and campaign prioritisation
* Conduct light-touch weekly check-ins via Zoom or Loom (approx. 2 hours/week)
* Offer guidance to the internal team to improve quality without micromanagement
* Ensure forward momentum by reducing reliance on founder input
* Uphold the firm's high standards while creating simplicity in decision‐making
Who We're Looking For
You're an experienced marketing strategist or former CMO with a proven track record of high-level campaign oversight. Perhaps you've run your own consultancy or led a marketing function inside a growing business. Either way, you're comfortable offering clear, decisive input at the executive level — and understand how to guide without overstepping.
Essential Experience
* 10+ years in senior marketing leadership or consultancy roles
* Deep understanding of multi-channel campaign strategy and execution
* Strong pattern recognition and strategic judgment
* Excellent communicator — able to give focused, actionable feedback
* Comfortable working with founder-led teams and guiding existing staff
* Ideally based in Australia for time zone alignment
What This Role Is Not
* This is not an agency engagement
* This is not an execution or implementation role
* This is not a junior or mid-level strategist position
We're not seeking Facebook Ads managers, copywriters, or funnel builders — we have those in place. We're looking for strategic leadership and management oversight of our existing internal team.
Why Join Us
* High-leverage consulting role
* Work with a values-driven founder and engaged internal team
* Make a tangible difference without managing an agency team
* Strategic clarity and professional respect from day one
How to Apply
Please email our Marketing Manager/Coordinator at trixy@butleradvisory.com.au with the subject line: Fractional CMO Application.
Include:
* A brief overview of your background and relevant experience
* Why this model and engagement suits your working style
* A few examples of marketing decisions, campaigns, or results you've guided that demonstrate your strategic capability
No CV necessary — we're more interested in your thinking, experience, and fit.
Final Note
If you've ever thought:
"This team knows what they're doing — they just need better direction,"
then this may be the perfect role.
We're ready to move quickly for the right candidate.
