First Marketing Leader Needed to Scale a Seed-Stage Healthcare Startup
This Jobot Job is hosted by: Ali Mercado
We’re a Seed-stage, mission-driven healthcare startup focused on building meaningful tools, resources, and community for people navigating serious health challenges. We have early traction and a strong product foundation, and we’re now focused on building a repeatable, organic growth engine to support our next phase of growth.
We’re intentionally early in our journey and we’re looking for someone who knows how to help take a company from Seed through Series A by building marketing the right way.
Competitive base salary ($170K–$200K+) plus meaningful equity options
Hybrid structure that values in-person collaboration. Set in-office days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Own marketing end-to-end at a pivotal stage of the company- you’ll be THE marketing function, not a manager of one
this is not a brand or PR seat
Build organic growth from scratch at a mission-critical healthcare company
Work directly with the CEO and cross-functional partners (product, engineering, clinical content) to shape growth strategy
We’re hiring a Head of Marketing to build and run our marketing function from the ground up internally. This is a senior individual contributor role- you will be the marketing function, not manage a team.
This role is heavily hands-on and operational, with a strong emphasis on organic growth, content, community, SEO, and lifecycle marketing. This is not a brand-only or communications-led role. The right person will be comfortable building, testing, shipping, and iterating- especially in a lean, early-stage environment with no playbooks.
This role is hybrid, with in-office collaboration on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in San Francisco.
Own and execute the marketing strategy with a strong bias toward hands-on execution
Run organic acquisition experiments across SEO, content, community (e.g., Reddit, advocacy partnerships), referrals, and lifecycle
Build and operate the content engine (blog, newsletter, podcast distribution, and social), publishing at high velocity using AI-assisted workflows
Build and run lifecycle marketing, including activation and re-engagement email programs, in close partnership with product
Use data to prioritize channels, experiments, and initiatives that drive adoption
Leverage AI tools daily to increase speed and output across content creation, experimentation, and analysis
Establish foundational marketing systems, processes, and reporting
Manage and optimize the website and landing pages
Support and grow community engagement initiatives
Run small-budget paid acquisition experiments to support learning
Partner closely with leadership, product, engineering, and clinical content teams
Work with vendors or contractors as needed (no large team initially)
A brand-only or PR-focused role
A people-management-heavy position
5–7 years of marketing experience, primarily in consumer-facing products
Direct experience helping take a company from Seed to Series A (or a similar growth stage)
Strong organic marketing background (approximately 80% organic focus)
Experience with content marketing and community-driven growth
Deeply data-driven and operational — you pull your own data, build your own dashboards, and live in the metrics
Hands-on experience using AI tools and automations to materially improve marketing efficiency
