corporate environment. Job Description as follows:

those parts of Mexico, Central & South America the company actively

leads working in the America Office, including:

Publishing division

Management team to ensure that the Americas region derives maximum value

Statement of Intent

The American Marketing Director will become a pillar of effective
marketing for CCP. The North American Marketing Office will gain the

its goals & objectives with the full support of the company. It will
define effective marketing & communication strategies for the Americas
Regional market, and implement tactical marketing & sales programs to
maximize the company’s sales & retention efforts.

======================

I'm specifically looking for a few key things in the people we interview
for this position:

1: Experience directly managing a team of marketing staff. By "Team" I
mean a half-dozen or more people.
2: Experience with a multi-million dollar marketing budget, including
spends in mass media
3: Someone with a passion for the World of Darkness

The CCP Marketing Department has a cross-functional matrix. The
Marketing Directors "run" the office, dealing with all the day to day
management overhead required to keep a large group of people working in
synch, and interconnecting effectively with the other CCP teams in that
office. There are functional team leads for Graphic Design, Sales, PR,
Community and Customer Acquisition who do the top-level planning and
goal setting for those functions globally. This position is all about
managing people, timelines, strategies and budgets, not creating
marketing materials.

Resumes and CVs can be sent directly to me at my work email address

Please feel free to pass this forward to anyone you know who may be
interested.

Ryan S. Dancey
CMO, CCP
