for Modern Consumer Brands

Successful Placements At Top Ecommerce and Consumer Brands
Most CPG Recruiters Don't Understand
Modern Consumer Brands
You need people who understand both digital growth and CPG fundamentals, and most CPG headhunters can't tell the difference between a DTC growth marketer and a traditional brand manager at Procter & Gamble.
That's why Constant Hire exists. We recruit for CPG brands that operate at the intersection of ecommerce and retail, where the talent needs to be as hybrid as the business model.

When a Fractional Hire Makes Sense
Interim coverage
Your VP of ecommerce left or a leader is on parental leave. A fractional hire keeps the business moving and stops you from rushing the permanent search.
Budget reality
You need executive-level marketing strategy or finance, but the full-time salary does not fit yet. Fractional hiring gives you that expertise at a fraction of the annual cost, with no benefits overhead.
Test before you commit
You want to validate a role or a person before a full-time offer. A fractional engagement lets both sides build confidence first, and many convert to permanent.

Fractional Roles We Recruit
Fractional CMO (chief marketing officer)
Digital marketing performance is flat despite launching new creatives. You can't break through your current ROAS ceiling.
Creative Fatigue:
Winning ads die out in days. Your team is constantly scrambling on a hamster wheel of content creation.
Weak Analytical Skills:
There is a massive talent pool of creatives who care about visuals, not results. We find strategists who can read Motion reports, iterate on hooks, and analyze thumbstop rates.
Founder Bottleneck:
You are still manually approving every ad. Your marketing manager or post production team waits on you, slowing down the entire growth engine.
Copy Cat Problem:
Most Creative Strategists look towards competitors to come up with new ideas. We heavily vet for strategists who do deep research independently.
Lack of Direct Response:
You’re hiring creatives who don’t understand DR principles like AIDA, Unique Mechanisms and other Problem-Solution frameworks.
We help DTC and e-commerce founders hire creative strategists who scale paid social through building creative systems in-house

How The Right Hires Transform Your CPG Brand
From DTC to Retail Shelves
The right hire turns a Shopify-first brand into a consumer products company with national retail distribution. Our CPG talent placements have helped brands launch into Target, Whole Foods, and Walmart by bringing in vice presidents and directors who've already navigated retail buyer relationships, trade marketing budgets, and supply chain complexity at scale.
From Founder-Led to Operator-Led
Most consumer packaged goods companies hit a ceiling when the founder is still making every hire and managing every channel. We place the COO, VP of Operations, and General Manager who take ownership of the day-to-day so leadership can focus on the brand, the product, and the next stage of growth, whether that's a Series B or an exit.
From Single-Channel to Omnichannel
Selling on Shopify is one playbook. Selling on Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and in 2,000 retail doors simultaneously is a completely different one. We recruit the ecommerce directors, national account managers, and marketing managers who build the team structure and channel strategy to operate across all of them without dropping the ball.
