VP of Marketing

About the role

Wagmo is hiring a VP of Marketing to lead the next phase of the company's brand and growth evolution. This is a foundational leadership role for a strategic, brand-led marketer who understands how to build enduring consumer brands while also driving meaningful business outcomes across a complex B2B2C ecosystem. Wagmo is redefining what pet healthcare can look like. As we more meaningfully connect the dots across the pet parenting journey, we see an opportunity to build a category-defining brand that pet parents trust, employers value, and partners want to align with. Long-term growth will come not just from what we sell. It will come from building trust, emotional resonance, cultural relevance, and a brand people actively choose, remember, and advocate for. This leader will be responsible for shaping how Wagmo shows up in the world: defining the company's narrative, building integrated marketing systems across audiences, and creating a cohesive brand experience across employers, brokers, and pet parents alike. The ideal candidate pairs strong strategic instincts with operational rigor, balancing long-term brand building with near-term business impact. This person deeply understands how brand marketing and performance marketing work together. While sales enablement and B2B marketing infrastructure will be important early priorities, this role extends well beyond pipeline generation. Success will require building an integrated marketing ecosystem that strengthens Wagmo's brand, creates consumer demand, deepens customer engagement, loyalty and advocacy, and ensures marketing's contribution to revenue is both measurable and accountable. This person is a modern marketer who knows how to leverage AI, marketing technology, automation, and data to increase efficiency, improve decision-making, and maximize impact. Resourceful and hands-on, they know how to accomplish more with less while thoughtfully investing in the areas that matter most. Reporting to the CEO, you will set the marketing vision, build the team to deliver on it, and help shape Wagmo's position in the evolving pet healthcare landscape. This is a hybrid role based in NYC. Candidates must be willing and able to work in-office three days per week.
