Fractional Chief Communication / Content Officer: Seeking World-Class Communications Leaders, Storytellers & Reputation Builders | Executive | Fractional Consultant | Project-Based Expert

Flexible / Remote (U.S. & Global)  Not a Job. A Movement. We’re not hiring. We’re not recruiting. We’re inviting you to redefine what leadership looks like. If you’ve built communications strategies that shaped perception, led through crises, inspired culture, or crafted narratives that built brands — and you’re ready for more freedom, impact, and ownership — The Proper Group is where your next chapter begins. Through #VoicebyDesign, we unite the world’s best communications, content, and brand leaders to help organizations find their voice — and use it with purpose, clarity, and power. This isn’t advisory consulting. This is embedded leadership. The Role — Fractional Chief Communications / Content Officer As a Fractional CCO, you’ll partner with CEOs, CMOs, CHROs, and Boards to architect and activate communications that build clarity, confidence, and credibility from the inside out. You’ll help define and amplify an organization’s voice — from executive narrative to reputation strategy — while leading with precision, empathy, and authority. You will: • Architect communication systems that align leadership, culture, and brand. • Guide reputation and crisis management with calm confidence. • Lead storytelling that inspires teams and markets alike. • Build thought-leadership platforms that elevate executives and organizations. • Deploy Voice by Design frameworks that scale across clients and sectors. Your work will shape how organizations speak, listen, and lead — with precision, humanity, and purpose. Who We’re Looking For We’re seeking senior communications and content executives who have been in the seat — trusted leaders who know how to build trust through strategy, storytelling, and execution. You bring: • 15–25 years of experience leading communications, PR, brand, or editorial strategy. • Mastery in shaping corporate voice, managing reputation, and influencing culture. • Experience translating complex business strategy into clear, actionable story. • Emotional intelligence, creative acumen, and boardroom presence. • Entrepreneurial spirit, curiosity, and readiness to lead alongside peers of equal caliber. You may have served as a Chief Communications Officer, Head of Brand, Corporate Affairs, or Media Executive, leading transformation from the inside — not advising from the outside. Why Join The Proper Group We’re not a consultancy. We’re not an agency. And we’re not a pay-to-play network. We’re the first cross-functional fractional executive platform — replacing what’s not working in the old consulting model. Instead of siloed firms, junior advisors, and surface-level reports, we deliver embedded leadership — executives who step in, leverage the client’s existing teams, and create impact fast. We’ve built a Collective of proven operators across disciplines — marketing, communications, finance, science, technology, people, and operations — who collaborate to drive measurable results. Our Difference: • Real Leaders, Not Lifelong Consultants: Every executive has sat in the seat, led teams, and built results from within. • Embedded, Not Outsourced: We integrate into client teams to build trust and capability — not dependency. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Our model breaks silos, aligning growth, brand, and operations in one system. • Faster Results, Greater ROI: Because our leaders have done it before, clients see measurable traction in 30–60 days. • Scalable IP: We productize proven frameworks like Voice by Design™, making strategy tangible and repeatable. • Integrity Over Ego: We lead with purpose, equity, and partnership — not politics or posturing. Why Now This isn’t about joining another network — it’s about joining a Collective of leaders who have already built the impossible and are now shaping what’s next. At The Proper Group, you’ll enter a community whose credibility can open doors in any room — and a platform built so that you take home the majority of what you earn while leveraging enterprise-grade resources and brand equity. This is not consulting as usual. This is a business within a business — with the highest compensation model in the industry, designed to give you freedom, infrastructure, and scale. Here, you focus on the work that matters. We handle the rest. You’re no longer hunting, gathering, prepping, cooking, setting the table, serving, and cleaning up. We’ve built the kitchen, the tools, and the brand that get you invited to the table. The Proper Group runs the front-end and back-end — CRM, billing, marketing, proposals, legal, lead generation, and sales enablement — so you can lead, deliver, and live. You still sell yourself, because fit matters. But we’ve built everything around you to make that process faster, smoother, and more confident. That means less time in admin and prospecting — and more time leading, creating, and living. You gain utilization to reinvest in what matters most — scaling your impact, building your business, or reclaiming your personal life. Inside the Collective, you’ll: • Co-create IP and service lines with elite executives who think and build like you. • Leverage shared infrastructure that gives you enterprise-level capability without bureaucracy. • Access joint ventures and licensing to expand your reach and monetization. • Innovate with purpose, in an environment where creation is currency — and your ideas can become tomorrow’s solutions. This is the freedom of entrepreneurship with the power of a platform — a place where credibility meets creativity and leadership scales. Be a change maker. Reimagine what’s possible. Lead with intent, integrity, and impact — the Proper way.
