Our mission
Every pet should get the care they need, regardless of cost. Vet med prices are up 40% since 2020, and pet owners are stuck having to pick between their bank account and furry friend. At Snout, we aim to solve this by enabling clinics to offer wellness plans that actually work.
The opportunity
Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the US. We’re a small but mighty startup team of <30 employees. We're searching for a data-driven and creative
Head ofMarketing to work closely with our CEO to build our marketing function from the ground up. This role is very multifaceted - you will lead the charge and define our veterinary facing brand, work with our hundreds of veterinary partners to market to millions of pet parents on a monthly basis, and eventually drive the strategy behind consumer branding as well. This role is US based and allows for remote work, or hybrid work in New York City or the metro Detroit area.
The role
Snout is a B2B2C company and our plans are sold exclusively through our veterinary partners. You will be in charge of both marketing to veterinarians and helping them market to their clients. The latter will be the first area of focus. You’ll work with our veterinary partners and their account managers to build and test campaigns, from emails to swag bags, it’s all fair game. We have millions of pet parents in our database and our vet partners are hungry for your support. This role combines creativity and experimentation with data-driven decision making. We are seeking a results-driven self starter and team player. In this role, you’ll have freedom to play and test all your ideas. You’ll work with our engineering team to refine millions of records for your needs. You’ll also work with our vet partners with the support of our account managers to implement your ideas. Once we find working paths, you’ll work with our product team to scale it out to all of our partners. There is no shortage of experiments to run. We promise you won’t be bored! If you’re scrappy, data-driven, and energized by the chance to build a brand that truly makes a difference, this is the role for you! Snout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We know that great candidates may not check every box — and that’s okay.
