Position: Chief Growth Officer
TrulyFree.com | Remote (Year 1) Traverse City, MI
This isn’t a CMO role at a CPG brand. This is the growth engine of a decentralized social commerce platform, part marketplace, part creator economy, part live-shopping revolution. If you’ve been waiting for the chance to build something that sits at the intersection of Whatnot, TikTok Shop, Amazon and the next wave of community-driven commerce, keep reading.
The Opportunity
TrulyFree.com (TF) is a decentralized social commerce platform that connects brands with creators and influencers to drive live selling, live shopping, and gamified commerce experiences. We also happen to own and operate a successful CPG brand (TrulyFreeHome.com), but make no mistake, this role is about building and scaling a platform, not running brand marketing.
Since launching in November 2025, TF has already acquired nearly 200,000 customers, onboarded close to 300 brands, listed over 14,000 products, and activated a network of 4,000+ influencers. We’re just getting started, and we need a growth leader who can pour fuel on this fire.
As Chief Growth Officer, you’ll report directly to the CEO and own the full growth stack: customer acquisition, creator/influencer network expansion, brand onboarding, media buying, engagement, and revenue growth across the platform. You’ll inherit a loyal and eager team of seven, triple that team within your first 90 days, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO, Head of Product, CTO, and BI team to shape the product roadmap and intelligence infrastructure that powers growth.
What You’ll Own
- Platform Growth Strategy: Architect and execute the end-to-end growth strategy for a two-sided marketplace connecting brands, creators, and consumers.
- Creator & Influencer Economy: Build, scale, and optimize the creator/influencer/affiliate engine that is the core GTM motion for TF. Recruit and activate creators who drive on-platform commerce through live selling and social content.
- Brand & Seller Acquisition: Develop and execute strategies to onboard 1,000+ brands in the next 12 months, ensuring they see measurable ROI from the platform.
- Customer Acquisition & Engagement: Drive 750,000+ new customers to the platform while achieving CAC breakeven within 45 days. Own app downloads, activation, retention, and engagement metrics.
- Live Commerce & Social Shopping: Champion and scale live selling/shopping experiences that differentiate TF in the market. Gamify the shopping experience to drive engagement and repeat behavior.
- Media Buying & Performance Marketing: Manage paid acquisition budgets with a scrappy, ROI-obsessed approach. Every dollar accountable.
- Team Building: Inherit a team of 7, grow to 21+ within 90 days. Recruit, mentor, and develop high-performing specialists across growth marketing, creator partnerships, brand development, performance media, lifecycle, and analytics.
- Data & Intelligence: Partner with the BI team to build the reporting infrastructure and dashboards that give growth teams real-time visibility into what’s working.
- Product Influence: Sit at the table with the CEO, Head of Product, and CTO to influence platform features, growth loops, and creator/seller tools.

Who You Are
You’re not a traditional marketer who landed in a C-suite by managing brand campaigns. You’re a builder-operator who has lived inside the social commerce, creator economy, and marketplace worlds and has the scars and wins to prove it.
Required Experience
- 10–15 years of progressive growth/marketing leadership, with significant time spent in social commerce, marketplace platforms, or the creator/influencer economy.
- Deep domain expertise in live selling/live shopping, social commerce platforms, and community-driven commerce models.
- Proven track record of scaling a two-sided (or multi-sided) marketplace, you understand the chicken-and-egg dynamics of supply and demand acquisition.
- Creator/influencer network experience: You’ve built and scaled affiliate, influencer, or creator programs that drove measurable commerce outcomes, not just awareness.
- Performance media expertise: Hands-on experience managing significant paid acquisition budgets with ruthless ROI discipline.
- Team builder: You’ve rapidly recruited, onboarded, and scaled high-performing marketing and growth teams (not just managed existing ones).
- Technical fluency: Comfortable working with product and engineering teams, influencing roadmaps, and making data-driven decisions with BI/analytics partners.
- Startup DNA: You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and know how to do more with less. You’re an intrapreneur who treats company resources like their own money.
Bonus Points
- Experience at or deep familiarity with platforms like Whatnot, TikTok Shop, Amazon Live, Fanatics Live, ShopShops, Talkshoplive, or similar.
- Background in gamification mechanics applied to commerce or engagement.
- Experience scaling from startup stage through Series A/B or equivalent hypergrowth phase.
- Existing relationships with creator networks, talent agencies, or influencer management platforms.
Compensation & Benefits
- Very competitive 6-figure base salary commensurate with experience and the scope of this role.
- Performance-based bonus structure tied to platform growth milestones.
- Meaningful stock option package, this is a ground-floor leadership opportunity with significant upside.
- Direct report to the CEO with a seat at the leadership table.
- The rare chance to shape a platform from early traction through hypergrowth.
Your Future Home: Traverse City, Michigan
This role is remote for Year 1, giving you time to ramp, deliver results, and plan your move. After that, you’ll relocate to Traverse City, and once you see it, you’ll understand why this is a feature, not a tradeoff.
Traverse City consistently ranks among America’s best small towns, and for good reason:
-
World-class outdoors: Lake Michigan beaches, Sleeping Bear Dunes (voted “Most Beautiful Place in America”), skiing, biking, kayaking, and 600+ miles of trails right outside your door.
-
Wine & food scene: 40+ wineries and tasting rooms on two peninsulas, a thriving farm-to-table restaurant scene, and the Cherry Capital of the World.
-
Family-first quality of life: Top-rated schools, safe neighborhoods, a tight-knit community, and a cost of living that lets your compensation go dramatically further than coastal metros.
-
Growing tech ecosystem: A burgeoning community of startups, remote workers, and entrepreneurs who chose quality of life without sacrificing career ambition.
-
Four-season adventure: Crystal-clear summers, stunning fall color, world-class skiing in winter, and a spring that makes everything feel possible again.
This is the kind of place where your kids grow up playing on beaches instead of in traffic, where you can close your laptop and be on the water in 10 minutes, and where your neighbors actually know your name. It’s not a compromise, it’s an upgrade.

Tips for Your Remote Community Development Officer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote community development officer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current roles, find the ones that match your background, and apply directly before postings close.
Show async communication skills upfront
Remote community development officers rely on written updates, Slack threads, and email to keep stakeholders aligned. Highlight examples of async project reporting or virtual coalition-building in your cover letter so remote hiring managers see that skill immediately.
Build a digital portfolio of community outcomes
Remote employers can't observe your work in person, so concrete artifacts matter. Compile grant award letters, program participation data, or virtual event reach numbers into a shareable document you can attach or link during the application process.
Prepare for competency-based remote interviews
Remote community development officer interviews typically probe self-management and virtual relationship-building through behavioral questions. Practice specific stories about managing a community program without direct oversight and coordinating partners across different time zones.
Remote Community Development Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote community development officer job?
Remote community development officer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to build relationships without in-person contact. Nonprofits, community health organizations, and distributed government contractors are the most active remote hirers. Showing experience with virtual stakeholder engagement, async project updates, and digital outreach tools gives you a clear edge over candidates with only on-site backgrounds.
Which companies hire remote community development officers?
Employers currently hiring remote community development officers include Satori Mortgage, Tag Lending Group, and Coldwell Banker, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first nonprofits, distributed community health networks, and mission-driven technology firms are the most consistent hirers of community development officers in a fully remote capacity.
Can you get a remote community development officer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Smaller nonprofits and community-focused startups are more open to candidates without direct experience. Demonstrating volunteer community organizing, virtual event coordination, or grant research projects in lieu of paid experience can open doors for remote candidates.
Do you need a degree for remote community development officer jobs?
Not always, though many remote employers prefer a bachelor's degree in public administration, social work, or a related field. Remote hiring managers weigh demonstrated results heavily, so a portfolio showing funded grant proposals, community engagement metrics, or successful program launches can substitute for formal credentials in a meaningful number of openings.
Which industries hire the most remote community development officers?
Most remote community development officer openings sit in Banking & Financial Services, Consulting & Professional Services, and Staffing & Recruiting, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams to serve geographically spread communities, making remote community development officers a practical and cost-effective staffing choice.
