Fractional Head of Growth / CMO for Premium E-commerce Brand
Benisouk is a premium Moroccan rug brand selling mainly to the US, UK and a few other markets. We do around $3–4M/year in revenue, with a high AOV, a strong product and a High growth potential:
- Handwoven Moroccan rugs.
- B2C worldwide + growing B2B/Trade (designers, retailers, hospitality)
We are now looking for a senior growth leader to help drive the next stage of growth. ⸻ Role: Fractional Head of Growth / CMO We’re looking for a Fractional Head of Growth / CMO who can build and drive a clear, data-driven growth strategy, and coordinate the different channels and initiatives into one coherent plan. This is not a full-time role. We expect around 1–2 days per week to start (approx. 8–16 h/week), for an initial test mission of 4–6 weeks, with the possibility to extend if the collaboration works well. ⸻ Key Responsibilities 1. Strategy & Priorities
- Define clear growth priorities for Q4 and the next 3–6 months.
- Set targets per country (mainly US/UK) and per customer segment.
- Translate this into a simple weekly execution plan: what we do in ads, email, CRO, B2B, etc.
2. Media & Budget Orchestration
- Review and challenge the current Meta & Google strategies.
- Propose how to allocate budgets across channels and campaigns.
- Define guardrails (ROAS, MER, CPA) and give clear weekly “scale / hold / cut” decisions.
3. Email & Lifecycle
- Define the key flows we need (welcome, browse, cart, post-purchase, winback, etc.).
- Give actionable briefs for newsletters and automated flows.
- Align email planning with paid campaigns and key offers.
4. CRO & Landing Pages
- Prioritise the most impactful CRO tests (product pages, category pages, buy box, etc.).
- Make sure we know which tests run, why, and how we decide if they are winners or not.
5. B2B / Trade (high level)
- Propose a simple structure for a B2B / Trade pipeline (stages, follow-up).
- Suggest how to integrate Trade into the overall growth strategy.
6. Reporting & Decision Making
- Build a simple weekly dashboard (Google Sheet or similar) with key KPIs.
- Provide every week a written summary of what happened, what worked, what didn’t, and what we should do next.
⸻ How we work
- We prefer written communication (Slack, email, shared docs) rather than long meetings.
- We care about concrete actions, numbers and deliverables, not just discussions.
We are OK with an occasional short call when useful, but most of the work should be:
- clear in writing,
- structured,
- backed by data.
⸻ Required Experience Please only apply if you can show:
- Experience as Head of Growth / CMO / Growth Lead for DTC e-commerce brands in the $1–10M/year range.
- Strong understanding of Meta Ads, Google Ads, email marketing and CRO, and how they work together.
- Ability to build simple but insightful dashboards and use them to drive decisions.
- Very good written English, with the ability to present ideas in a clear, structured way.
- Comfortable working asynchronously, taking ownership and driving initiatives forward.
Bonus (nice to have):
- Experience in home decor / furniture / premium / luxury niches.
- Experience with B2B / Trade / designers.
- Experience working with remote EU/US teams.
⸻ What we are NOT looking for
- Someone who only speaks about “branding, storytelling, positioning” without metrics.
- Someone who only wants to “manage ad accounts” inside Meta or Google. This role is above channel ops.
- Someone who doesn’t like to write things down clearly (we need written plans and reports).
⸻ Success criteria – first 4–6 weeks In the first 4–6 weeks, we expect: 1. A Q4 growth plan broken down per week (offers, budgets, channels, key tests). 2. A 1-page weekly dashboard with the main KPIs (per country, per segment, per channel). 3. Clear rules for scaling/cutting Meta & Google campaigns. 4. A basic email & lifecycle plan (flows to build, cadence for campaigns). 5. A simple draft structure for the B2B / Trade pipeline. If this is delivered and we see progress in the numbers, we will consider extending the mission. ⸻ How to apply (very important) To avoid generic copy-paste applications, please answer briefly to these 4 points in your proposal: 1. Relevant experience
- Mention 1–2 e-commerce brands you helped as Head of Growth / CMO (size, niche).
