The Problem We're Solving
Most DTC brands are leaving revenue on the table. They spend millions acquiring customers through paid channels, then lose 60%+ of high-intent shoppers to cart abandonment, anonymous browsing, and missed retargeting opportunities. The issue isn't traffic-it's conversion architecture. Brands lack the infrastructure to capture intent signals, recognize returning visitors, and re-engage shoppers at the moments that matter most. That's where Checkmate comes in. Our AI-powered platform captures shopping intent from 100M+ shoppers across the web-wishlists, carts, browsing sessions-and turns it into high-converting campaigns that consistently deliver revenue uplift in 30 days. But here's the thing: selling this solution requires more than a good pitch deck. It requires someone who can walk into a growth team's meeting, diagnose where they're leaving money on the table, and prescribe a strategic path forward. About Checkmate Checkmate is an AI marketing platform that helps DTC brands capture anonymous shoppers, launch targeted campaigns, and drive measurable revenue. Our platform uses AI to de-anonymize site traffic, uncover missed conversion opportunities, and launch high-performance campaigns that engage the 100M+ high-intent shoppers in our network. We offer three core products for brands:
We work with leading DTC brands like Stanley, Quay, ColourPop, Laneige, and Dockers. Backed by Google Ventures, Fuel Capital, and others. About the Role Checkmate is building the next generation savings brand, and we need a strategic, execution-focused Head of Marketing to lead the charge. You'll drive both B2C brand perception and B2B sales growth, with a core focus on building cultural relevance through strategic brand associations, amplifiable moments, and community-driven experiences. This is a high-impact role where you'll architect and drive growth across both B2C (app downloads, influencer marketing, consumer brand) and B2B (cold lead generation, community building, sales enablement) channels. The key insight: winning consumer perception unlocks B2B success. Brands want to associate with what's trendy, exclusive, and culturally relevant. You'll turn our activations, partnerships, and community moments into high-engagement content that drives lead generation and brand equity. This role is uniquely positioned: Our company is transforming from just a consumer app, to a growth engine for brands. Brands can use our channels to directly speak to our users, or use our data to supplement their marketing efforts. You'll be responsible for the strategy of growing both - no easy feat. The ideal candidate should have either a growth marketing or product marketing background. Location: Remote (NYC or LA strongly preferred) What You'll Own Strategic Marketing Our current strategy is often a bit scattered. A large portion of this job will be to build out a thesis and really go ham on a bi-lateral B2B/B2C strategy and work in partnership with the team to execute on that strategy.
We've built momentum with events that generate LinkedIn buzz and drive real business outcomes. Now we're scaling to the next level: building a comprehensive ecosystem for ecommerce brands where community becomes our competitive moat. You won't build every event yourself, but you'll ensure every activation drives maximum impact:

What "Cool" Means: Association with trending brands and respected people, elevated exclusive experiences, on-trend opinions, relationship-building over hard selling, and smart positioning with marketing expertise. Benefits
