Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led digital teams at scale (8+ direct reports) in B2B2C or healthcare; you know how to balance brand + performance
  • You obsess over attribution, CAC, LTV, and funnel metrics; you make decisions with data, not gut feel
  • You've scaled demand generation across geographies or segments; you understand local + national complexity
  • You're excited by mission-driven work; healthcare, social impact, or moonshot companies energize you
  • You thrive in founder-led, operational orgs; bureaucracy bores you; you move fast and own outcomes
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility; this is 5 days/week on-site in Fort Lauderdale—no negotiation
  • You're a brand-only marketer; this role is half strategy, half performance—you must own metrics and ROI
