Harrier: Open Field is a specialized, free job search platform designed for marketing professionals ranging from manager to Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) roles at US brands. Unlike conventional job boards that merely list vacancies, Open Field provides deep contextual insights into each role, explaining "what the job really is" and "why it opened now." This unique approach helps job seekers understand whether a role involves building a new team, taking over from an existing agency, or filling a top leadership position.
The platform aggregates marketing roles daily from various company career pages and job boards, meticulously filtering out staffing-agency reposts to ensure direct and relevant opportunities. Key features include a robust search functionality allowing users to filter by title, keywords, work style (e.g., remote, hybrid), industry, and specific marketing tools.
Open Field enhances the job search experience with several innovative tools:
- Role Type Filters: Users can narrow down searches by specific role contexts such as "Build role" (bringing work in-house), "Takeover role" (replacing a named agency), "Channel owner," "Top seat open," "Senior seat open," or "Growing team."
- Field Notes: Leveraging AI, the platform generates daily "Field notes" that provide concise, AI-written analyses of current open roles, grounded in real-time data. These notes offer quick insights and can apply specific filters to the job listings.
- Market Pulse: This feature offers a comprehensive overview of the marketing job market over the last 31 days. It presents key statistics and breakdowns by work style, most-named tools, tool categories, and top industries, allowing job seekers to understand market trends and demand.
- Personalized Profile: Users can optionally create a profile by specifying desired titles, keywords, experience levels, preferred work styles, industries, and known tools. This profile enables the platform to highlight "best fit" roles, streamlining the search process. The profile data is saved locally in the browser and is only used for the current search, ensuring privacy.
- Ear to the Ground (Job Alerts): A free email alert service allows users to receive notifications for new roles that match their customized criteria. Alerts can be configured for daily or weekly delivery and are highly customizable based on keywords, work style, industry, role type, and tools. The platform supports Google Sign-In for quick email verification and alert setup.
For agencies, Peregrine Intelligence offers its core "Harrier" platform, which provides advanced features for prospecting, including insights into agency replacements, in-housing trends, AI signal analysis, and cross-matching with funding and leadership changes. This highlights the sophisticated intelligence underpinning the free Open Field tool.
Open Field's commitment to providing deep context and filtering out irrelevant postings makes it an invaluable resource for marketing professionals seeking their next career move, offering a more informed and efficient job search experience.
