Head of Growth

Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California

Frontera is reimagining how children with autism and other behavioral health needs get the care they deserve. We bring together world-class clinicians, technologists, and autism specialists to build cutting-edge AI tools that help care teams work smarter and spend more time with the children and families who need them most.

Our Mission

Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare.

Role Overview

Frontera is hiring a Head of Growth (Marketing) to build and scale our growth and marketing function at a pivotal stage of company expansion.

This is not a narrow performance role. It is a senior leadership role responsible for the full marketing surface area. This means growth, demand generation, lifecycle, positioning, and trust-building, with accountability for measurable outcomes.

Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will own how Frontera goes to market across providers, enterprise partners, and an emerging direct-to-parent motion. You will be responsible for building the systems, team foundation, and growth architecture that compounds over time.

Success in this role means combining analytical rigor and experimentation with strong marketing instincts: building trust in a regulated category while driving adoption, pipeline, and long-term brand pull.

Growth Strategy and GTM Architecture

• Own Frontera's end-to-end growth strategy across B2B, B2B2C, and consumer entry points

Marketing Foundations: Positioning, Brand, and Trust

• Ensure brand, product storytelling, and growth execution stay tightly integrated as we scale

Build the Function From Zero to One

• Build the growth and marketing function from the ground up: operating cadence, tooling, early hires, and execution systems
• Lead early GTM tests directly where needed, then scale through process and team
• Implement modern marketing and analytics infrastructure with a bias toward speed, automation, and clarity
• Leverage AI-enabled workflows to increase execution leverage and insight generation
• Communicate growth performance, learnings, and priorities to executive leadership and the board
• Lay the foundation for durable marketing systems that support long-term scale

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

• 10+ years of experience across growth marketing, demand generation, and broader marketing leadership in high-growth environments
• Track record of building marketing and growth systems at early-stage companies (zero-to-one or one-to-scale)
• Deep fluency in experimentation, funnel analytics, lifecycle marketing, and ROI-driven execution
• Strong marketing instincts around positioning, messaging, and trust-building in sensitive categories
• Experience partnering closely with Product and Sales to define and scale GTM motions
• Systems mindset: able to reduce chaos, increase clarity, and scale what works

Preferred

• Experience in healthcare, behavioral health, or other trust-driven regulated markets
• Exposure to B2B2C models (consumer wedge + enterprise or payer expansion)
• Hands-on experience using AI and automation to increase marketing velocity

Traits That Matter Here

• Builder mentality with a strong bias toward action, learning, and iteration
• Analytical rigor and discipline around measurement, forecasting, and ROI
• Deep customer empathy paired with sharp execution
• Comfortable operating without a predefined playbook
• High ownership and comfort being accountable in ambiguous environments
