The Challenge
Talkiatry is scaling mental healthcare with accessible, human-centered psychiatry. You'll own the paid growth engine driving patient acquisition at meaningful scale, balancing CAC efficiency with volume ambitions while building the forecasting rigor and channel diversity that powers next-stage growth.
Your Mission
Audit current paid portfolio performance across Meta, Google, TikTok, Reddit, Affiliate, ZocDoc, and offline channels; establish baseline CAC by channel and identify quick efficiency wins
Build weekly/monthly forecasting models and pacing dashboards that tie paid investment directly to CAC and visit volume targets—get stakeholders aligned on metrics
Design and launch a structured experimentation framework; allocate 10-15% of budget to high-impact pilots (new channels, creative angles, audience segments)
Present annual paid growth strategy to leadership with 12-18 month roadmap, investment recommendations, and explicit assumptions on CAC curves and channel expansion
Deliver proven efficiency improvements across core channels; demonstrate CAC reduction of 10-15% or equivalent volume growth at flat/reduced spend
Integrate 1-2 emerging offline channels (podcasts, CTV) into core planning; bring strategic ownership in-house while maintaining agency partnerships for execution
Build and operationalize creative testing engine; run structured A/B tests across channels with documented learning loops and iteration velocity
Grow team capability: hire or upskill 1-2 paid specialists; document playbooks for channel management, creative briefs, and forecasting so function scales with business
KPIs You'll Own

Company Intelligence
Talkiatry is a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and triple-board-certified psychiatrist. The company solves accessibility (60% of U.S. adults with diagnosable mental illness go untreated) and provider burnout (45% of clinicians out-of-network) through technology and human-centered care.
Culture
Human-centered, mission-driven healthcare; founders deeply understand both patient and provider pain; emphasis on accessible, responsible care
Is This Role For You?
- You've managed $5M+ paid budgets across multiple digital channels and understand CAC modeling, forecasting, and unit economics at scale
- You thrive as both operator (hands-on campaign management, testing) and strategist (annual planning, portfolio allocation, long-term roadmap)
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and data gaps; you know how to build bottom-up models and challenge assumptions with rigor
- You're motivated by impact: healthcare, mission-driven growth, and the chance to meaningfully influence business strategy excites you
- You expect a pure optimization role or hands-off strategic advisory; this is a working director role requiring both execution and leadership
- You need hybrid/remote flexibility; this is on-site in NYC
- You're uncomfortable with offshore teams, agencies, or complex cross-functional dependencies; you'll collaborate with Finance, Ops, Brand, and external partners daily
