Top Marketing Jobs Over $200K
December '23 Edition
Welcome to the first edition of Top Marketing Jobs Over $200!
In this newsletter, our mission is to deliver value, whether you are looking for a job actively, quietly, or just interested in opportunities in marketing and getting on that CMO ladder.
Every other week, in partnership with our besties at Aspen Tech Labs, we bring our subscribers a few hand-picked marketing openings where the median compensation level is higher than $200,000, based on the range specified by the employer.
We focus only on the freshest picks! This is very fast-moving data, and we check its accuracy up to the date of the newsletter. We won't feature jobs that are more than 35 days old, and we never feature job openings where the money on offer for the position has not been published.
We are not the employer or agents of the employers we feature! If you apply for any of the jobs we feature here - that's your business - and we cannot help it if no one gets back to you!
For our highlighted picks, we only feature employers, and primarily, we feature job roles with a line to the CMO. We never feature postings from recruiting agencies or retained search firms. The longer list that you can download at the end of this newsletter contains roles that may not have a CMO line.
Sometimes, we uncover hidden insights into specific employers. We do this to help you by giving you a broader picture of the businesses behind the posts.
Without further ado, let’s get into the specifics of the magnificent 7 curated jobs in marketing for this edition.

Director, Marketing & Customer Data and Technology @ Adobe

Location: San Jose, San Francisco, CA
Posted: 8 days ago
Who are they?
Most people know Adobe for their Creative Tools like Photoshop, and the ubiquitous PDF reader, Acrobat! But they make a good deal of money from their Digital Experience Segment. This segment focuses on providing integrated platforms and applications to manage customer experiences. This is another significant growth area for Adobe, with notable products like Adobe Analytics, Adobe Experience Manager, and Adobe Commerce.
The cool thing about the job?
Adobe's strong ecosystem, including integrations with other Adobe products (like Adobe Analytics, Adobe Campaign) and external tools, offers a comprehensive solution.

Who doesn't know Nintendo??? Nintendo is most famous for its significant impact on the video game industry.
