Head of Marketing (On-Site) – Scale a Brand from Seven to Eight to Nine Digits

Location : Santa Ana, CA (Must be on-site)

Reports To : CEO

Who We Are & Why This Role Matters

GuineaDad isn’t just another pet brand—we’re creating an industry-defining company in small pet care. Our products lead the market in quality, innovation, and customer loyalty. But we’re not here to just sell products—we’re here to build a lasting brand.

To do that, we need a marketing leader who understands the full spectrum of growth —someone who knows how to drive revenue from seven figures to eight figures and then scale to nine digits and beyond.

This is a high-impact leadership role that requires both hands-on execution and strategic vision . If you’re looking for just another marketing job, this isn’t it. If you want a career-defining leadership role where you will drive the growth of a category leader, you’re in the right place.
