EVOLVED SUCCESS
Chicago, IL Remote Contractor
POSTED ON 6/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/8/2026

There is something unique about professionals who spend their careers understanding customers.

The patterns. The behaviour. The decisions. The connection between brand, customer experience, growth and commercial performance. For many experienced professionals, it becomes more than a job. It becomes how they see the world.


This role is designed for professionals from backgrounds such as brand leadership, marketing, customer experience, customer strategy, loyalty, communications, consumer understanding, commercial strategy or growth.


It is for individuals who understand people, think creatively and commercially, and are open to applying their experience in a different kind of environment.


About Evolved Success

Evolved Success is a global leadership development and success education company serving accomplished professionals who are interested in expanding their thinking, developing new capabilities and exploring new ways of creating success.


Through structured leadership development, professional growth programs, success education and collaborative learning environments, we support individuals committed to continuous growth, leadership evolution and personal development.


The Role

This is not a conventional corporate position. It is a flexible, independent role designed for experienced professionals who are ready to apply their skills in a more autonomous, self-directed way within a different commercial model.


As Director of Brand Evolution & Customer Understanding, your focus is on helping build and position a meaningful brand around leadership development and success education, while applying your understanding of customers, behaviour, communication and growth.


You will draw on capabilities developed through careers in:

• Brand Strategy

• Marketing Leadership

• Customer Experience

• Customer Understanding

• Consumer Behaviour

• Loyalty & CRM

• Customer-Centric Growth

• Communications

• Commercial Strategy


The work centres on:

• Understanding people

• Identifying opportunities

• Shaping communication

• Building meaningful connections

• Supporting sustainable growth

• Contributing to long-term brand development


What Matters Most

The individuals who tend to resonate most strongly with this direction are often those who:

• Enjoy understanding people, customers and behaviour

• Think strategically and creatively

• Have experience in brand, marketing, customer experience, communications, customer strategy or commercial leadership

• Are growth-oriented and self-directed

• Value autonomy, ownership and flexibility

• Are open to exploring alternative ways of applying their experience


This Is Likely Not For You If

• You are primarily seeking a traditional salaried corporate position

• You intend to continue building your career exclusively within established organisational structures

• You prefer highly prescribed environments with limited autonomy or ownership


A Final Note

This role sits outside traditional employment models. It offers flexibility, autonomy and the opportunity to continue growing while applying your experience in a different way. If you recognise yourself in this description, we would welcome a conversation.
