These complex market dynamics are requiring new levels of rigor and insight in marketing strategy, operating model design, and the application of new technology capabilities by marketing leaders.

We are looking for practitioners who will work alongside Healthcare organization leadership teams to drive business value through the design and delivery of marketing strategies that connect customer insight to business impact.

• Ability to travel up to 30%+ on average, based on the work you do and the clients you serve
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future

Preferred:

• 2+ years of experience leading workstreams or projects, including managing scope, timelines, and deliverables
• Comfort with and exposure to the technical aspects of marketing, including MarTech platforms, tools, and the implications of AI (no requirement to design or build technology)

Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and manage complex, multi-stakeholder engagements

• Experience presenting recommendations and deliverables to executive stakeholders
• Ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams and translate business needs into analytical or technology-enabled solutions

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled.

A reasonable estimate of the current range is $163,400 - $322,100

You may also be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
