  • Proven ownership of eight-figure annual paid media budgets, with hands-on channel expertise in paid search, paid social, organic SEO, and video. Working knowledge of emerging AI / answer engine optimization (AEO) practices.
  • Strong command of acquisition unit economics, including cost-per-lead, cost-per-consult, CAC, LTV, and payback.
  • Experience managing or directing an outside creative and media agency, including performance oversight and scope management.
  • Experience partnering with a field sales organization to convert marketing-generated leads into revenue.
  • Experience operating within a regulated marketing environment, including work with Legal, Regulatory, and Medical Affairs review processes.
