Manage episode 473898434 series 1385866
CMO job searches come with baggage—pressure to be perfect, high expectations from CEOs and investors, and a market where one misstep can cost you. Add in emotional residue from your last gig, and it’s no wonder the process feels heavy.
In this episode, executive recruiter Erica Seidel joins Drew Neisser for a grounded pep talk on how marketing leaders can take control of the job search. It’s about being intentional—knowing what you want, how to show up, and how to manage the emotional rollercoaster along the way.
What You’ll Learn:
How an Ideal Company Profile (ICP) can focus your search—and your energy.
The paradox-filled CMO role: changemaker, peacemaker, and how to keep it together.
Smart ways to stand out—think prep docs, dashboards, and well-placed hypotheses.
Why “ready to start tomorrow” might be your strongest asset.
What CEOs and investors really want from you in the first 100 days.
Whether you’re actively interviewing or just thinking ahead, this episode offers the mindset and tools to help you lead your search—with intention and impact. Tune in!
