Founding Consumer Growth Lead

Radical Health Careers•San Francisco, CA

19h•Onsite

About The Position

Radical is hiring its first consumer growth leader to build the engine that helps cancer patients discover, trust, use, and recommend Radical. The role begins by developing organic content, patient referrals, community, and partnerships, then tests and scales additional channels that produce meaningful patient growth. This is a senior individual-contributor role with direct access to the founders. The lead will personally develop strategy, create campaigns, analyze performance, and improve the work, then build a team around proven approaches. The role owns acquisition, patient referrals and community, conversion across the patient journey, channel experimentation, and an AI-native growth operation. Success is measured by patient activation, value, and continued use—not just reach or views. Growth work must communicate sensitively and responsibly with cancer patients. The team works together in person in San Francisco every day. Radical offers a base salary of $130,000–$180,000 based on experience, early-stage equity, medical, dental, and vision coverage, visa and relocation support where applicable, an Equinox membership, free office meals, quarterly company offsites, and direct access to patients, product development, and company decision-making.

Requirements

At least five years of experience building consumer growth, content, community, referrals, partnerships, or acquisition at an early-stage or breakout company.
Ability to execute independently, from developing strategy and creating campaigns to analyzing performance and making improvements.
Ability to create clarity and make progress without an established playbook.
Strong creative judgment and ability to explain complicated or intimidating subjects clearly without oversimplifying them.
Comfort owning a performance metric and explaining whether results are ahead of or behind plan.
Ability to use AI and automation to increase output without lowering work quality.
Willingness to work closely with cancer patients and on a product.
Willingness to work in person with the team in San Francisco every day and to work hours other than a preferred 9-to-5 schedule.
Comfort building the first version of a growth function as an individual contributor rather than primarily managing a large team.

Nice To Haves

Experience building content engines that scaled from zero to tens of millions of views.
Healthcare experience.

Responsibilities

Build Radical’s organic acquisition engine through content and distribution systems that reach cancer patients, earn trust, and turn attention into active usage.
Identify the messages, formats, creators, and channels that consistently produce patient growth.
Build referral, word-of-mouth, and community programs that patients want to share, working with patients and the care team to understand trust and support responsible sharing.
Own experimentation across landing pages, onboarding, messaging, creative, and lifecycle communication.
Identify points in the patient journey where prospective patients lose confidence or momentum; develop hypotheses, launch tests, and use behavioral and qualitative data to improve the experience.
Test new formats, creators, partnerships, communities, and distribution channels; turn promising experiments into repeatable systems and stop investing in channels that do not produce meaningful patient outcomes.
Use AI to accelerate research, content development, creative iteration, audience analysis, and experiment operations, and build lightweight automations without sacrificing judgment or quality.
Personally execute growth work, learn quickly, explain performance against goals, and build a team around what works.
