About Strategic Resume

Why we exist

Marketing leadership hires are make-or-break. The wrong CMO sets a brand back two years. The right one accelerates everything. Strategic Resume was set up to take that decision seriously: every brief run by one named consultant, every candidate vetted thoroughly, every search built around what you actually need at six months in seat.

We are a US permanent recruitment partner specializing in marketing and senior executive search. Our parent operates as Strategic Marketing & Employment Group, with marketing-services capability that informs the depth of our recruitment work.

What we do, plainly

Permanent marketing and executive placements for US employers. From senior individual contributors and brand managers to VPs of Marketing and CMO retained search. We bring strategic-marketing context to every brief.

Who we work for

Our clients are PE and VC-backed scale-ups, public-market mid-caps, marketing-intensive consumer brands, B2B SaaS companies and US offices of multinationals. The hiring managers we work with are mostly CEOs, CMOs and HRBPs who want a consultant who understands marketing as a discipline.

How we vet candidates

Right-to-work verification
Reference contact, current and previous employer where possible
Portfolio and outcome verification (campaigns, growth, P&L impact)
A structured competency conversation, scenario-tested for senior roles
Written capture of comp expectations, notice period and motivation

Our values, the short version

Take the brief seriously. A 30-45 minute call up front saves a fortnight on the back end.
Tell the truth. If the comp is below market for that level, we say so.
One consultant per client. One consultant takes the brief, vets candidates, runs the offer, follows up.
Stand behind the work. Free replacement period on every permanent placement.
