About the role

  • Life insurance is a complex and consequential purchase that impacts hundreds of millions of Americans - and it's about to experience a massive AI transformation, impacting over 500,000 professionals today.

Responsibilities

  • Own the performance marketing engine end-to-end - strategy, channel mix, budget allocation, creative direction, and execution across LinkedIn, Google, Meta, programmatic, and emerging channels.
  • Build the growth experimentation function - run rigorous, hypothesis-driven tests across paid and organic channels, and bring the discipline to kill what isn't working fast.
  • Drive advisor acquisition and activation - move the metrics that matter: CAC, LTV/CAC, MQL-to-SQL conversion, advisor activation rate, and payback period.
  • Own product marketing and positioning - tell the story of our platform and AI capabilities, landing new product launches, sharpening our messaging, and arming sales and prospects with materials that make us clear and compelling.
  • Stand up an AI-native growth stack - build and operate the agentic workflows, content pipelines, attribution models, and reporting that let a small team operate like a large one.
  • You should be using AI to write, test, optimize, segment, personalize, and analyze daily.
  • Own lifecycle and email - design and run the nurture, activation, and re-engagement programs that turn cold advisor interest into placed cases.
  • Partner with sales and product - work closely with the brokerage and PCS sales teams to align on ICP, messaging, and what's actually converting at the close.
  • Measure everything - build the LTV/CAC, attribution, and funnel reporting that gives us a clear view of what's working, and present it to leadership and the board.
  • We're hiring a Director of Growth Marketing to own demand generation, performance marketing, product marketing, and the marketing engine that drives advisor acquisition.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in performance marketing or growth marketing at B2B tech enabled distribution, fintech, or vertical SaaS companies, with at least 3+ years owning paid acquisition and growth strategy.

Nice to have

  • experience marketing in a distribution based business, financial advisors, insurance professionals, or other high-trust, regulated B2B audiences.
  • Comfortable with attribution, cohort analysis, and the messy reality of measuring what's actually working.
  • SQL skills are a plus.

Compensation

  • $200k-$240k

Benefits

  • Comp & Benefits
  • We're building the AI-powered software, agents, and workflows that change how life insurance gets bought and sold, making it faster, smarter, and easier for advisors and their clients.
  • Strong across several performance marketing channels (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, Meta, programmatic, SEO, lifecycle/email) and excited to keep learning new ones.

Company info

  • We are a high-growth Series A company that has raised $35M from top-tier investors, including Thrive Capital (major investors in OpenAI, SpaceX, Stripe, Instagram, Spotify, and Slack), New York Life, and Northwestern Mutual.
  • This is a senior role for a hands-on, AI-native performance marketer who has built and scaled growth functions inside B2B SaaS or fintech, and who treats AI tooling as a force multiplier on every part of the funnel.
