Plan and run multi-channel campaigns, and brief and manage the collateral that goes with them, in partnership with creative and content teams. Run pilots, analyze results, and scale what works. Align with Sales on messaging, lead quality, and market feedback. Track launch performance against KPIs such as qualified leads, conversion, cost per acquired provider, and active providers, and share findings and recommendations with senior leadership. Strategic Partnerships (~40%) Identify and prioritize partners that open doors into new verticals, such as manufacturers and brands, distributors, associations, practice-management and healthtech platforms, and buying groups. Structure and negotiate partnership agreements (referral, co-marketing, integration, or other models) and own each relationship from first conversation to renewal. Plan and run co-marketing programs, and track partner-sourced pipeline and volume. Be the internal voice of our partners, bringing their needs and market feedback back into our GTM strategy.
