- Work closely with design, engineering, ops, growth, and sales to deliver marketing messages that feel considered, cohesive, and empowering.
- Guide discovery and execution across multiple surfaces, from employer and broker dashboards to member experiences and partner APIs.
- 10+ years in marketing, with at least 3+ years leading all of marketing or a function within it, at a high-growth company.
