Full‑Time | 1099 Contractor with W‑2 Conversion in Q4

The Role
We’re hiring a Growth Marketing Manager to own our brand strategy and be the engine behind our market presence. This role sits at the intersection of sales, customer success, and partnerships — responsible for brand integrity, multi‑channel lead generation, and the full employer and employee journey from first touch to long‑term retention.

This is a builder role. You’ll be working directly with the CEO and COO to position First Gen Financial as a thought leader and trusted partner in the employer benefits space. You’ll set strategy and execute it, manage external vendors, and ensure every campaign is both compliant and commercially impactful.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute a comprehensive brand strategy across social media, traditional media, PR, and events that reinforces First Gen’s positioning in the B2B health and life insurance market

Build and optimize lead generation campaigns targeting key ICPs across specific industries, with a target of 50%+ qualified appointment booking rate for sales and partnerships teams

Design and manage the full employer and employee customer journey from onboarding and launch through long‑term engagement and retention

Lead campaign management across Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success — ensuring message consistency, timing alignment, and measurable outcomes

Develop and manage compliance‑focused paid advertising programs that generate qualified interest and convert to booked appointments

Partner directly with the CEO and COO on thought leadership initiatives, brand positioning, and strategic communications that elevate First Gen as a trusted authority for employers

Manage external creative, media, and technology vendors — driving accountability to deadlines and performance benchmarks

Track, analyze, and report on campaign performance, pipeline contribution, and marketing‑sourced revenue

What You’ll Do Day‑to‑Day

Plan and execute campaigns across email, LinkedIn, paid channels, and events — from brief to launch to optimization

Monitor lead quality, booking rates, and pipeline contribution in CRM; identify gaps and iterate quickly

Create and manage content calendar across social, email, and owned channels to maintain consistent brand presence

Collaborate with Account Executives and BDRs to align marketing outputs with active sales plays and ICP targeting

Build and refine nurture sequences for both employer prospects and enrolled employer groups

Coordinate event logistics for trade shows, webinars, and employer‑facing activations — end to end

Review vendor deliverables, provide feedback, and ensure on‑time execution

Brief leadership weekly on marketing performance, campaign status, and upcoming initiatives

Brand audit completed; a refreshed messaging framework and channel strategy are in place

First Gen recognized through at least one industry publication, award, or speaking opportunity as an emerging thought leader in the employer benefits space

Full‑funnel infrastructure built: top‑of‑funnel awareness, mid‑funnel nurture, and bottom‑of‑funnel conversion programs running in parallel

Converted to W‑2 with expanded scope and potential team growth under your leadership

Requirements

3–5+ years of marketing experience in a high‑growth environment, ideally in insurance, employee benefits, health tech, or adjacent B2B financial services

Demonstrated ability to lead strategy and execute — this role requires both; outsourcing thinking is not an option

Proven full‑funnel marketing experience: brand awareness through MQL, SQL, and closed‑won attribution

Experience managing external vendors and agencies with clear accountability for deliverables and timelines

Working knowledge of Section 125 plans, MEC, or similar tax‑advantaged benefit structures strongly preferred

CRM proficiency (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent) and comfort working within structured pipeline reporting

Strong understanding of compliance requirements for financial services and insurance advertising

High business acumen, emotional intelligence, and the consultative communication skills to operate effectively across sales, leadership, and client‑facing contexts

Self‑directed and highly organized — you thrive with autonomy and hold yourself to a high standard without external pressure

Who You Are
You operate like an owner. You’re commercially driven, deeply accountable, and relationship‑oriented. You understand that brand is not just aesthetics — it’s the cumulative trust built through every touchpoint, campaign, and conversation.

You bring structure to ambiguity. You build systems, not just campaigns. You measure what matters, report with honesty, and iterate without ego. You’re equally comfortable presenting a quarterly marketing review to the CEO and rolling up your sleeves to QA an email sequence at 9pm.

You align with our core values:

Ironclad Integrity: You operate with transparency, represent the brand with care, and do what’s right — consistently.

24‑Carat Accountability: You own your pipeline numbers, your campaign results, and your vendor relationships without deflection.

Catalyst: You actively seek feedback, test new ideas, and scale what works — you make the marketing function better every quarter.

Wholehearted: You build authentic relationships across sales, leadership, and clients. You understand that trust is the product.

This role is not passive. It requires full engagement, consistent output, and a high level of personal ownership. For the right individual, it offers meaningful upside, creative autonomy, and the opportunity to define how a fast‑scaling financial services brand shows up in the market.
