Head of Marketing at Liberty Horizons — NeverHard

Liberty Horizons is a financial consulting and venture capital practice based in Toronto, Canada. We build and manage accounting and finance operations for founder‑led startups and small businesses, handling everything from fractional CFO services and bookkeeping to AR/AP, payroll, and venture consulting. We are a small team with high standards. That means real ownership, real exposure, and real growth opportunities for the right person. If you want to own a function, work directly alongside senior leadership, and build something that matters to the businesses you serve, this is the right environment for you. About the Role We have the strategy, the cast, and the story. What we are missing is the quarterback: one person who owns execution end to end so everyone else can stay in their lane. The Head of Marketing is the single point of accountability for the marketing machine across both Liberty Horizons and The Wise Investor. You will run the full cycle: plan, film, edit, ship, and review, across two brands, two audiences, and multiple formats. You will coordinate three functions: community, events and PR; content creation and distribution; and performance and paid media. You will also be one of the faces of this brand. Comfort on camera is a requirement. This role is perfect for a marketing professional who is obsessed with their craft, loves their work and is passionate about growing faster than a classic 9‑5 corporate role. This is not a coordinator role. This is not a task list. You own the function, the output, and the number: 100,000 weekly reach on a brand that has a story to tell.
