· Create clear measurement and attribution frameworks to evaluate channel performance, inform spend allocation, and improve cost-effectiveness over time.
· Develop and evolve a differentiated brand narrative that reflects the company’s mission to simplify and modernize health plan solutions for SMBs.
· Lead integrated marketing campaigns and thought leadership initiatives that increase visibility with brokers, employers and members.
· Enhance a customer insights capability that transforms data and research into actionable strategies to inform product, pricing, and positioning decisions.
· Partner closely with Product and Sales to craft compelling messaging, positioning, and go-to-market plans that accelerate adoption of new offerings.
· Oversee all external communications, including PR, media relations, and thought leadership, to strengthen the company’s credibility and visibility in the market.
· Build a marketing organization that blends analytical rigor, creative storytelling, and operational excellence — balancing in-house talent with agency and contractor support.
· Foster a culture of agility, innovation, and accountability, that incorporates AI and success is measured by impact.
· Serve as a key member of the Revenue leadership team, collaborating cross-functionally to shape GTM strategy and ensure marketing is tightly aligned with business objectives.
You bring:
· 10+ years of progressive marketing experience, including 5+ years in a leadership role at a high-growth or startup environment
· Proven track record of building and scaling performance marketing programs that drive measurable growth
· Strong foundation in go-to-market execution with particular expertise in building a performance marketing function
· Experience in healthcare, health insurance, benefits or related industries required
· Deep analytical skills and comfort with marketing automation, CRM, and analytics tools
· Ability to thrive in ambiguity, balancing strategic priorities with hands-on execution
· Exceptional leadership, communication and team-building skills
