Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Reports to: CEO
Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)

Compensation: $200,000.00-$300,000.00

About the Role

Bubble is reinventing mass skincare.

The brand was built to close a long‑standing gap in the industry: accessible skincare that is genuinely effective, dermatologist‑developed, and emotionally resonant. Not cold or intimidating. Not trend‑driven or superficial. Clinical, thoughtful, and human.

As Bubble continues to scale globally across mass retail and DTC, the role of Chief Marketing Officer is critical. This role exists to ensure that as the business grows, the brand becomes clearer, stronger, and more trusted, not diluted.

The CMO will lead Bubble’s entire marketing function and be accountable for how the brand shows up everywhere: across social, paid media, PR, retail, product launches, and storytelling. This is a senior operating role for a modern marketing leader who can balance brand, performance, and cultural relevance with rigor and discipline.
