Marketing Lead

At UpDoc, we are building the first clinically validated, physician-supervised AI agent that manages chronic diseases. We are an early-stage startup founded by Stanford physicians.

We are seeking a hands-on Marketing Lead to build and lead UpDoc’s marketing function. As our first dedicated marketing hire, you will own strategy and execution, working closely with leadership, Commercial, Clinical, and Product to build UpDoc’s presence in the market and communicate the value of our technology to healthcare audiences.

This is a remote role, with candidates preferred to be physically located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

You’re a versatile marketer who can set strategy and execute it. You’re comfortable developing positioning and go-to-market priorities while also writing content, launching campaigns, managing digital channels, and supporting events.

You have experience marketing healthcare technology and can translate complex clinical and technical concepts into clear, credible messaging. You thrive in an early-stage environment, work independently, and are comfortable building without an established playbook or team.
