Chief Marketing Officer

Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans, so please apply for only one position and only once a year—if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later.)

At Oceans, we help the best and brightest of Sri Lanka to take advantage of opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them, while supporting entrepreneurs around the world. Our community (we call them Divers) don’t do surface work—they go deep to solve complex challenges and make a real impact. And in doing so, they support bold ideas, expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers, all without having to leave family and friends.

As the Chief Marketing Officer, you will own the marketing and growth strategy for an early-stage direct-to-consumer subscription business, helping build the brand, acquisition engine, and go-to-market model from the ground up. You'll work closely with the founders and leadership team to shape market positioning, drive subscriber growth, build creator and community-led acquisition, strengthen retention and customer lifetime value, and establish the marketing foundation required to scale across markets.

This is a leadership role with a distinctly hands-on mandate. Rather than setting strategy and delegating execution to a large team, you'll be expected to determine where and how the business should grow, then roll up your sleeves to build the campaigns, partnerships, systems, processes, and measurement frameworks that bring that strategy to life. As the function matures, you'll evolve from individual execution into building and leading the broader marketing organization.

Here's how you'll make an impact:

Accountability

• Identify the capabilities, resources, and investments required to support the company's growth trajectory.
