CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER

We’re looking for a seasoned marketing executive to lead the next chapter of Wholehearted.org.

Open Letter from AJ

Wholehearted.org has never had a marketing department. We’ve intentionally grown slowly, building high-quality, heartfelt video programs on healing trauma, addiction, recovery, parenting, and emotional resilience. We’ve built a beautiful body of work that has reached people and earned trust, but we’ve never had a larger strategy for sharing it.

That’s where you come in.

If marketing feels to you like an opportunity to offer clarity, connection, and service (not just clickbait) we’d love to hear from you.

With care,
AJ Foxx
Founder, Wholehearted.org

What We’re Looking For

  • Executive-level marketing experience, ideally in the digital education, wellness, or nonprofit space
  • A strong background in full-funnel strategy, brand development, email marketing, digital campaigns, and audience growth
  • Demonstrated success launching or scaling high-quality online courses or memberships
  • Familiarity with trauma, addiction, mental health, or related fields is a major plus
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to manage projects, teams, budgets, and outcomes
  • A strategic mind with a hands-on approach; you can lead with vision, and also implement
  • A deep sense of responsibility and personal alignment with our mission

You Should Have

  • Experience developing and running marketing strategies for a small or mission-driven organization in the mental health field.
  • Familiarity with digital campaigns, email marketing, content strategy, and building audience trust over time.
  • Knowledge of how to activate membership programs, mailing lists, and partnerships.
  • Clear communication, organization, and follow-through.
  • Comfort working with a creative team to produce and adapt marketing assets.
  • A good grasp of how messaging connects with real people, not just clickbait.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading and owning the full marketing function at Wholehearted: strategy, systems, results
  • Building our brand voice and clarifying messaging across all channels
  • Designing and launching campaigns for course enrollment, membership engagement, and new product visibility
  • Developing strategic partnerships and affiliate collaborations
  • Managing and eventually building a team across key marketing functions
  • Optimizing our email marketing, digital funnels, and traffic acquisition strategies
  • Reporting on performance and iterating based on results
  • Supporting both our free public programs and professional educational offerings

Our Socials

About Wholehearted.org

We are a small, in-person team based in Sacramento. We make high quality programming focused on healing trauma, addiction, recovery, and mental health with renowned experts. We believe in the value of real-time collaboration, whether it’s around a whiteboard, a shared screen, or conference table (with snacks).

We are flexible when it matters. We understand life, family, and the need for flexibility. We care about the people we work with. But we also care about the work itself. We do things with intention, and we expect presence and strong commitment.

We focus on quality, clarity, and service. Our mission is to help people take ownership of their lives. Our content, culture, and public voice reflect that. We don’t align our work with any political movement or ideology. We center human experience, emotional honesty, and practical support.

If that resonates with you, you may feel at home here.
