Axle Health•Santa Monica, CA

About The Position

Axle Health is hiring our first Head of Growth Marketing to build and own our go-to-market engine. We're creating a new category in home healthcare technology, AI-powered scheduling and logistics that increases clinician productivity by 17-30%, and we need a strategic growth marketer. You'll be responsible for driving pipeline and revenue growth by turning our early adopters and anchor clients into evangelists, creating compelling narratives that resonate across diverse home healthcare segments, and establishing the systems and processes that will scale with us. This role reports directly to our CEO and will evolve our brand identity while executing high-impact demand generation campaigns. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, multi-disciplinary marketer who thrives in ambiguity and can wear multiple hats; from crafting positioning and messaging to building campaigns, analyzing metrics, and creating content that converts. You're data-driven but not data-paralyzed, and you can make strong strategic bets with incomplete information. You've grown pipeline at early-stage companies before, understand how to balance brand-building with performance marketing, and know which levers to pull at different stages of growth. You're as comfortable writing copy as you are optimizing conversion funnels, and you're excited to own the full marketing function at a fast-growing Series A startup.

Requirements

10+ years of B2B marketing experience with at least 5-7 years owning demand generation or growth marketing, preferably in SaaS or tech
Experience at early-stage startups (Seed through Series B) where you were one of the first marketing hires and built programs from 0→1, then pivoted to scale
Proven track record of driving pipeline and revenue growth with concrete examples of campaigns or programs that moved the needle on qualified leads and bookings
Experience marketing to healthcare or complex B2B buyers who have long sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, and specific regulatory considerations
Strong analytical and data-driven mindset with experience building dashboards, tracking attribution, and optimizing campaigns based on performance metrics
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a portfolio demonstrating ability to craft compelling positioning, messaging, and content across formats
Builder, self-starter mentality who can prioritize ruthlessly, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and deliver results without a large team or extensive resources
Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced environments; you thrive when building from scratch and don't need perfect information to make progress

Nice To Haves

Direct experience in home healthcare, healthcare operations, or healthcare workforce technology (you understand the pain points of scheduling clinicians, managing field operations, or coordinating patient care)
Background in category creation or launching new product categories where you've had to educate the market and create demand where it didn't previously exist
Customer marketing or community building experience specifically around turning customers into advocates, building user communities, or launching customer advisory boards
Experience managing agencies or contractors to extend capacity without full-time headcount
Track record of evangelizing at industry events - speaking, panels, or hosting your own events that drive brand awareness and pipeline
