Director of Customer Marketing & Community

Assort Health • San Francisco, CA

16d • $180,000 - $200,000

About The Position

Assort Health is hiring our first Director, Customer Marketing & Community to build the engine that turns customer success into company growth. You'll build trusted relationships with our customers and transform their success into compelling stories, executive advocates, reference programs, peer communities, customer speakers, and other strategic proof points that help us win new business. You'll thrive in this role if you love building relationships with healthcare executives, creating exceptional customer experiences, and turning customer advocacy into commercial momentum.

Our customers' success is our greatest competitive advantage. When SENTA converts 64% of referrals into appointments without adding headcount, Michigan Orthopedic Surgeons captures $2.3M in new revenue, or Annapolis Internal Medicine books 61% of annual flu shots through AI outreach alone, those are more than testimonials. They’re evidence that what we are building works, and the stories that help us earn the trust of future customers.

You'll build the programs and infrastructure that turn customer enthusiasm into advocacy. From executive communities and customer storytelling to reference programs, customer speakers, strategic events, and customer engagement, you'll create the operating systems that strengthen our customer relationships while ensuring our strongest customer advocates help accelerate pipeline and strengthen the Assort brand.

In any given week, you might be producing a customer case study or testimonial, preparing a customer to speak at an industry event, coordinating strategic references for enterprise deals, or ensuring customer proof points are embedded across campaigns, the website, events, sales collateral, and executive communications.

This is a highly cross-functional role. You'll partner closely with Customer Success, Sales, Product Marketing, Growth Marketing, Events & Field Marketing, Brand & Communications, and Executive Leadership. As one of the people closest to our customers, you'll naturally uncover valuable insights along the way. Working hand in hand with Product Marketing, you'll ensure those insights help shape our product strategy, while you remain focused on building the customer advocacy, community, and executive engagement programs that strengthen customer relationships and drive commercial growth.

Requirements

• 7–10 years in customer marketing, customer advocacy, customer success, community, field marketing, product marketing, or a related B2B discipline. Healthcare, healthtech, or another complex enterprise software environment preferred.
• Experience building customer advocacy, customer marketing, executive engagement, community, or customer success programs that deepen customer relationships and create measurable business impact. You know how to build genuine partnerships with customers, not just collect quotes from them.
• Experience building trusted relationships with both senior healthcare executives and day-to-day operators through advisory boards, executive programs, customer interviews, on-site visits, and other strategic engagements.
• Experience building programs from zero to repeatable operating systems. Comfortable creating strategy, defining processes, and scaling initiatives like customer advisory boards, executive communities, advocacy programs, speaker bureaus, or reference programs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop compelling customer narratives, write strategic briefs, interview executives, and collaborate with creative partners to produce exceptional customer stories.
• Ability to recognize meaningful customer trends and collaborate with Product Marketing to ensure customer feedback and advocacy programs inform broader go-to-market and product strategy.
• Excellent judgment and customer empathy. You understand that customer trust is a long-term asset to be cultivated, not a short-term lever to be pulled.
• Ability to influence without authority. You're comfortable leading cross-functional initiatives across Sales, Product Marketing, Customer Success, Brand & Communications, Growth Marketing, Events & Field Marketing, and Executive Leadership, bringing diverse stakeholders together around shared customer goals.

Responsibilities

• Build the operating system behind customer advocacy. Identify champions, cultivate executive relationships, coordinate advocacy requests across Sales and Marketing, and develop scalable programs that make it easy for customers to share their success stories.
• Initiate and scale Assort's peer communities, Customer Advisory Board, and other engagement programs. Partner with cross-functional teams to recruit participants, design exceptional experiences, strengthen customer relationships, and facilitate meaningful conversations that support both customer advocacy and Product Marketing's understanding of customer needs.
• Build a pipeline of customers ready to speak at flagship events (Ascend, ViVE, HIMSS, specialty conferences), on webinars, and with press. Identify who's ready, prep them, and place them where they'll have the most impact.
• Programmatize how Assort captures and tells ROI stories that come out of these relationships. Own the measurement methodology, production cadence, and cross-functional workflow behind a steady stream of case studies, testimonials, and content (audio, video, written) across our audiences, used by sales, marketing, PR, and product.
• Build the engine behind how Assort captures, develops, and activates customer success stories. Own the strategy, prioritization, and cross-functional operating cadence that turns customer outcomes into case studies, testimonials, ROI stories, videos, and other customer proof. Partner closely with Brand & Communications to produce exceptional assets and with Product Marketing to integrate customer proof into product launches. Deliver a steady stream of customer evidence that strengthens our brand, accelerates pipeline, and supports Sales, Marketing, PR, and Executive Leadership.
• Build and scale Assort's customer advocacy and reference program across Sales, analysts (KLAS, Gartner), media, etc. Design the operating system, matching logic, and request workflows that make customer references scalable, thoughtful, and exceptional for both our customers and internal teams.
• Ensure customer proof is embedded across every go-to-market motion, from our website, sales materials, and ABM campaigns to product launches, events, PR, and executive communications. Partner closely with Growth Marketing, Events & Field Marketing, Product Marketing, Brand & Communications, and Design so customer advocacy is built into every experience, not bolted on.
• Treat AI as core infrastructure for this role. Design workflows that use AI to streamline research, customer interviews, content development, program management, and advocacy operations, enabling exceptional quality, faster execution, and greater scale.
• Write clear briefs that help creative partners produce exceptional work, communicate the impact of customer programs through reporting and executive updates, and develop internal communications that help every Assortie better understand, celebrate, and advocate for our customers.
