About The Position

Zipliens is a leading lien resolution company that specializes in streamlining the lien process for personal injury law firms. We are looking for proactive, results-driven individuals to join our dynamic team. We are hiring a Director of Marketing to build Zipliens' marketing function from the ground up. This is our first dedicated marketing hire — a high-impact, cross-functional role at the center of our growth strategy. You'll shape how we engage clients, support new business development, break into new verticals, and bring new go-to-market strategies to life as the business scales. This isn't a support role; it's a meaningful opportunity to shape how Zipliens shows up in the market. You will operate as a hands-on leader — identifying what needs to be done, bringing structure to how marketing operates, and executing against it. You’ll be responsible for building the foundation of our marketing function, using the right mix of tools, systems, and external support to scale impact over time.
