Our take: The real work here is holding the entire Growth Marketing engine in your head and moving decisions, budgets and orphan projects forward through influence while standing in for the VP.
If you have led marketing yourself and now get more satisfaction from making a whole leadership team faster and sharper than from running one function, this is your room. You will hold the entire Growth Marketing engine in your head: the goals, the budget, the orphan projects nobody owns, and the decisions waiting on an answer, acting on all of it when the VP is elsewhere. It rewards people who love moving between a budget trade off, a partner negotiation and a keynote plan in a single day, and who win rooms through judgment rather than title.
