Brand Strategy and Events Associate

About Alpaca Health Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care. We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is simple: shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians. We’ve raised over $14M in funding from early-stage investors like Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures, and South Park Commons, and are building for long-term category leadership. More importantly, we’re serving hundreds of patients, while growing 30% MoM. Role: Brand Strategy & Events We are hiring a Brand Strategy & Events lead to own how Alpaca shows up in the world, from the big moments to the everyday brand. You will shape our voice, look, and story, and you will plan and run standout events end-to-end, from community festivals to clinic grand openings. This is a builder role for someone equally comfortable setting brand direction and taping down extension cords the morning of an event. You will work directly with the founder.
