HOW TO HIRE A HIGH-LEVEL INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR IN MARKETING

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

A true high-level IC is someone who doesn’t manage a team but manages themselves. This translates into independently making deadlines, managing workflows, and not having to report weekly updates to colleagues or constantly run meetings. Senior leaders don’t manage the day-to-day of a high-level IC but are expected to have an awareness of the types of projects the ICs are working on.
