Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)

Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)

Location: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Full time, Onsite

$400-500k Depending on experience

Description / Position Overview

The Chief Revenue Officer is first a leader: a servant leader who develops people and holds the team accountable. A fast driver who inspires.

The CRO leads Sales, Marketing, and Product and owns the company’s enterprise revenue performance and the systems that produce it.

This executive role is responsible for aligning Sales, Marketing, and Product into a single operating system that drives predictable, profitable growth across all channels. The CRO defines how the company grows, which opportunities it pursues, and how go-to-market execution, channel strategy, and product direction work together.

When revenue performance, channel execution, or product-market alignment becomes unclear or underperforms, the CRO leads the plan and owns the outcome.

This role is designed for a senior operator who has already built scalable growth systems and understands how to align market demand, margin discipline, operational capacity, and product direction into one coordinated revenue engine.

The CRO owns the revenue system, not just the sales organization.
