The Challenge

Joyful Health is fixing a $125B problem: healthcare practices hemorrhaging revenue through broken payment systems. You'll build their entire growth engine from scratch with proven investors (MongoDB, KAYAK founders) backing a mission that actually matters.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Define and lock Joyful's growth strategy: which channels, partners, and events drive warm pipeline for healthcare practices

2

Establish baseline metrics across inbound channels and set quarterly KPI targets aligned with sales funnel requirements

3

Launch 2-3 high-impact ecosystem activations (events, partnerships, or community initiatives) that generate qualified leads

4

Build growth ops infrastructure: funnel tracking, lead scoring, campaign measurement, and reporting dashboards

By 6 Months
1

Scale inbound pipeline to 2-3x initial volume with <$X CAC and >40% conversion rates from ecosystem-sourced leads

2

Build repeatable, scalable programs across events, content, and partnerships that generate consistent warm pipeline monthly

3

Hire and onboard 2-3 growth team members (demand gen, partnerships, or community manager) based on strategy priorities

4

Establish Joyful as a recognized voice in healthcare finance: speaking slots at major conferences, thought leadership content, strong community presence

KPIs You'll Own

Pipeline Generated by Channel

Track MQLs, SQLs, and revenue by inbound source (events, partnerships, content, community) to optimize spend allocation.

Cost Per Qualified Lead

Measure CAC by channel to ensure efficiency and scale only what works for your healthcare practice buyer.

Ecosystem Lead Conversion Rate

Monitor how well ecosystem-generated leads convert to customers vs. cold outreach-the signature of trusted growth.

Monthly Recurring Revenue from Growth Initiatives

Connect pipeline to closed revenue so you can see the real impact of your strategy on company growth.

Attendance & Engagement at Events/Partnerships

Track quality and attendance at your programs to validate which activations deserve scaling investment.

Tools & Stack

HubSpot or Salesforce (CRM/funnel tracking)LinkedIn (account-based marketing, thought leadership)Segment or mParticle (event data)Slack (team operations)Notion or Airtable (program management)Google Analytics (content/web tracking)Zoom (virtual events)

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built a growth function from scratch or scaled one at a similar-stage company (Series A/B SaaS)
  • You know how to generate warm, ecosystem-driven pipeline and turn relationships into revenue
  • You're comfortable with NYC on-site work 3 days/week and want stability after years of chaos
  • You believe in the mission and want to shape an industry-not just optimize funnels
  • You have real budget ownership experience and can measure what works vs. what doesn't
Won't Work If
  • You need fully remote-this role requires regular in-office presence in NYC
  • You're a pure demand gen operator; this role requires strategic leadership and team building
  • You don't have 5+ years of B2B SaaS growth experience or equivalent proven track record
  • You're risk-averse or waiting for the perfect job-this is a founding role with uncertainty built in

Interview Process

1

Initial call with CEO

20-30 min screening on your go-to-market experience, mission fit, and what you'd do in first 90 days

2

Deep dive with CEO + Sales lead

1 hour on growth strategy: how you'd approach the healthcare market, channel strategy, and partnership thinking

3

Working session (optional)

Async or live case study: you outline a growth roadmap for Joyful's first 6 months

Culture fit, decision-making style, and alignment on role scope and impact
