If youve never heard of ChessMood thats on me. (Avetik Grigoryan, CEO & Founder)
If you didnt know that last year we crossed $1M in annual revenue, we have 20+ team members, and were not a small company anymore thats on me too.
If you didnt know, we have thousands of students worldwide, people who raised 500+ rating points in just a few months, or even became Grandmasters using ChessMood yep, thats on me.
If you didnt know weve created 500+ hours of Grandmaster-crafted courses, covering everything from beginner to master
If you didnt know were now building an AI Coach to connect with our courses and revolutionize online chess education You guessed it thats on me.
So why havent you heard about all this?
I was fully focused on building the ChessMood!
Marketing, PR, and all that? Not my strength and not my passion.
But if you love marketing, if thats your thing
If youre also a chess lover, and youve got the experience to take things viral
If you look at what weve built and think,
Guys, this is crazy! Give it to me and watch what Ill do with it
Then lets talk.
Its not that I never tried to find a Marketing Director.
I just never found someone who checked 80% of the boxes below.
Must-haves (Dont worry if you miss one or two)
Chess fan, with over 1,000 online games and a 1500+ online rating.
10+ years of experience in marketing, with at least 5 in a leadership role.
Experience building and growing marketing teams with A-players.
Background in growing subscription-based or edtech companies.
Proven track record of managing and scaling large marketing budgets (ideally $1M+ annually)
Hands-on with AI tools knows when to prompt, when to automate, and when to trust human instinct.
Growth Mindset! Study-Practice-Fix!
OMG, this is exactly what I would enjoy doing!
Give it to me, and watch how Im showing the world what weve created!
Im not going to give you a checklist.
Im going to share what Ive learned, my experiences, and whats worked (and hasnt).
Then I want to hear your plan.
Im looking for someone I can trust with the steering wheel not just to drive, but to lead the way.
Three Words to Forget
1. Employee / Employer
Those words are forbidden at ChessMood.
We dont have employees. Im not the boss. Were teammates working side by side on a mission.
2. Competitor / Competition
That mindset is for losers.
If someone does great work in the chess world, theyre our friends and well help them.
If they do a bad job, theyll disappear anyway.
At most, we say other players in the chess world.
3. Compensation
Youre not going to have compensation for your work. Surprised?
Look what does the word compensation even mean? Selling 8 hours a day for X money? Cmon!
I believe we should enjoy what were doing, and feel great knowing how were serving millions of chess lovers.
And on top of that, get a bonus that helps us enjoy our personal lives and achieve our goals.
And dont worry its not going to be a small one.
Itll be fair, generous, and joyful just like the work youll be doing here.
I deeply respect your expertise, and the value youll bring to ChessMood and the chess world.
And yes equity is on the table.
Because this isnt a job. Its a ride.
And I want you to be in the front seat. Next to me.
