Vice President of Marketing (, PA, United States)

Entangled Publishing is one of the largest independent publishers in the United States, publishing blockbuster romantic fiction and thrillers across YA and adult markets. Since 2011, we’ve built a track record of launching breakout hits, including Fourth Wing, which has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
We operate with the scale of a major publisher and the speed and ambition of a startup. We have been honored by Fast Company as one of the world’s Most Innovative Media Companies and as a TIME100 Most Influential Company.
At Entangled, marketing isn’t a support function. The VP of Marketing owns that – across marketing strategy, brand, paid media, creative, events, and communications – and is accountable for turning great books into cultural moments.
You’ll lead a team of marketers while doing real work yourself: shaping campaigns, making budget calls, reading the data, and staying close enough to fandom culture to know when we’re on to something.
You’ll report to the President and help define what Entangled becomes – not just as a publisher, but as a brand expanding into experiences like gaming, live events, and other direct-to-consumer products. If you care about the craft of marketing and the stories being marketed, this is the role.
Build and protect Entangled, our imprints, our books and IP as brand assets that attract readers and fans and convert them – not just at launch, but over the life of a series, an author relationship, and an ecosystem of experiences
Develop and grow our reader community across channels, deepening engagement with existing fans while continuously bringing new audiences into the Entangled universe
Work closely with publishers, editors, and product teams to define marketing goals for each title and product launch, then coordinate all functional marketing resources (e.g.brand, paid media, comms, creative, social) to execute against those goals
Set the go-to-market strategy for major launches and ensure it runs from positioning and messaging through creative execution and paid amplification
Own performance marketing outcomes: know what’s driving growth, what’s not, and make clear-eyed calls on where to invest and where to cut
Direct creative services so that assets across every channel are on-brand, compelling, and built around what actually moves readers
Lead and mentor the marketing team, setting a high bar for both quality and accountability, developing junior talent, and building a team culture where doing the work matters as much as having the ideas
Represent marketing at the leadership level: bring clear thinking on budget, strategy, and results, and be a genuine partner to the CEO, President and other functional leads
You’ve worked across brand, paid media, communications, and creative. You’ve led and mentored a marketing team, and people have grown under you
You like data and are familiar with the tools and metrics of modern performance marketing (paid social, search, attribution modeling) and financial performance
You’re excited about what’s next and about building a team that flexes against different products: books, games, events, expanding IP, and the role marketing plays in all of it
You likely have 10+ years of marketing experience with meaningful exposure across multiple disciplines, and time spent leading a team.
