CCO jobs
Commercial strength is a key driver of growth. Across sectors – from B2B to B2C retail – commercial success hinges on a clear strategy, customer-focused transformation, and a smart organization of sales, marketing, pricing, and digital initiatives. The Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) unites these disciplines, translating ambitions into tangible commercial impact. Explore our current CCO vacancies below.
Chief Commercial Officer: commercial vision and strategic leadership
The Chief Commercial Officer role extends well beyond the scope of a traditional sales director. Today’s CCO is a connecting leader who shapes strategy, execution, and culture across the commercial domain. They develop scalable growth strategies, build commercial organizations that collaborate across channels and functions, and focus on creating long-term customer value. Depending on the context, responsibilities include go-to-market strategy, international expansion, CRM optimization, pricing, conversion, and branding.
Commerce increasingly spans multiple disciplines. Sales, marketing, customer success, commercial operations, and data management often fall under the CCO’s remit. In high-growth companies, the focus is on building scalable funnels and streamlining processes. In more established organizations, priorities shift to professionalization, transformation, and improving cross-team collaboration. International environments demand local market strategies and the development of partner networks.
Different contexts require different leadership styles
Top of Minds works with a wide range of organizations – from private equity-owned businesses to family enterprises and large SMEs. Each context calls for a distinct type of commercial leader. In B2B, CCOs often translate complex propositions in technology, industry, or services into scalable commercial models. In B2C, the emphasis is on brand activation, distribution, e-commerce, and customer loyalty – especially in retail, consumer goods, or direct-to-consumer models – where the CCO constantly balances brand, channel, and conversion priorities.
The ideal Chief Commercial Officer for various commercial director vacancies
The profile of an ideal CCO varies by organization. Some companies need a commercial architect who can design systems and teams from the ground up, while others require a Chief Commercial Officer who optimizes, digitalizes, and internationalizes existing structures. What unites all top CCOs is the ability to provide direction, foster collaboration, and generate long-term commercial value. Our commercial director jobs often attract leaders who thrive in both building and refining commercial strategies.
