We’re looking for a Marketing Director who’s as strategic as they are a self-starter — someone who can architect campaigns, optimize campaign performance, and build scalable systems, all in the same week. You’ll partner directly with leadership as our first marketing leader to define outreach strategy and roll up your sleeves to execute. You understand markets (especially insurance, restaurant, and retail) and how to influence customer decisions deeply while thriving in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where impact is visible every day and results every week. This is a hands on and strategic role initially with the ability to build the Marketing function and team over time.
