Hi! I’m Chuck Jones.
Big-picture digital strategy.
Details included.
I build killer teams, seamless digital experiences, and robust systems that turn ambitious ideas into measurable results.
My background spans web, growth, demand generation, and marketing operations across high-growth tech companies and mission-driven organizations. I have a knack for connecting business needs, technology, and user experience to build things that wow and make the numbers go up and to the right. I can talk strategy with the C-suite, pull requests with developers, pipeline with Sales-Ops, and design with creatives… and know enough about each to be dangerous.
Featured Work
Company: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative & Biohub
Situation: In 2021, the Biohub marketing team planned a brand refresh and full rebuild of the Biohub website, initially allotted a 6-month timeline which was condensed into just 7 weeks to align with high-profile PR moments.
What I Did: I built the project structure from scratch, onboarded a new development team, coordinated design and development across four companies and two legal teams, and managed hosting, security, and compliance in parallel.
Impact: The site launched on time, GDPR compliant and security-hardened, with a new look and CMS that Biohub staff could actually use. This coincided with a 10x surge in site traffic from correlated PR announcements.
Biohub Website Refresh
Company: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative: Education Team
Situation: The CZI EdTech team built and launched a digital product called Along, a tool for teachers to use in K-12 classrooms. The product’s corresponding website, along.org needed to go from a bare-bones launch waitlist page to a full marketing website with a CMS, analytics, and a new design on a compressed timeline tied to ISTE, one of education technology's biggest annual events.
What I Did: Managed two consecutive website builds with multiple dev agencies, handling CMS setup, hosting, contractor onboarding, cookie compliance, and analytics infrastructure across both.
Impact: The site launched on time, fully compliant, and with complex analytics and marketing automation integrated to give deep visibility into teacher product adoption.

About
I've spent 14+ years building web, digital marketing, and growth programs at tech companies and mission-driven organizations, often in places where things are growing fast, the stakes are high, and we’re “building the plane while flying it.”
Currently, I lead the web and marketing operations teams at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. At CZI, I've gotten to support teams tackling some fascinating problems, from launching new scientific research institutes and advancing rare disease research to building tools for K–12 classrooms and frontier AI for biology.
I got my start building web and demand gen programs at high-growth tech startups, and also spent several years as a digital strategist at marketing agencies.
These days, I spend more of my time setting strategy, growing teams, and bringing the right people together to solve messy digital problems, but I still like getting close enough to the work to understand how everything fits together.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me at a concert, reading science fiction, or exploring the California outdoors.
