Chief Marketing Officer

Divar is Iran’s leading digital marketplace — connecting millions of people every month to buy, sell, and discover everything from cars and homes to jobs and services. Trusted by tens of millions, Divar has become part of daily life across the country.

Now, we’re entering a new era: combining creativity, data, and technology to reimagine how people experience the brand. Our ambition is to build a marketing organization that rivals the best in Berlin, London, and San Francisco — bold in vision, lean in structure, and global in outlook.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Chief Marketing Officer who brings strategic clarity, creative courage, and digital sophistication.

This is not a maintenance role — it’s a build and lead role. You will design Divar’s marketing vision, lead the evolution of our brand, and orchestrate campaigns that set new standards in creativity and impact.

You will work with a small, exceptional internal team and the best creative and strategic partners in the region and beyond, ensuring that Divar remains relevant, admired, and top-of-mind — both with users and within the rapidly evolving AI-driven media landscape.

• Design sponsorships and initiatives that reinforce the brand’s values and purpose.
• Use partnerships as storytelling platforms — not just logo placements.

Leadership & Culture

• Lead a small, elite marketing team focused on creativity and executional excellence.
• Build a modern marketing organization that blends brand, data, and technology fluently.
• Collaborate closely with the Executive Chairman and leadership team to align marketing with Divar’s long-term vision.
