About Sittercity

Sittercity, a Bright Horizons company, is a technology platform that's reimagining the childcare industry. We aim to simplify the process of finding, hiring, and managing high-quality, trustworthy childcare. At Sittercity, you can help design and implement solutions that will transform a multi-billion-dollar industry, providing much-needed relief to parents and care providers alike.


What You'll Do

We're looking for a full-stack marketing leader to own the entire marketing engine at Sittercity-spanning brand, creative, growth, lifecycle, and emerging AI-driven capabilities. This is not a traditional performance marketing role. You will define how Sittercity shows up in the world, how we tell our story, and how we translate that into scalable, measurable growth. You will sit on the Sittercity Leadership Team, partnering directly with executive leadership across Product, Engineering, Corporate, and Operations. You'll play a central role in shaping company strategy, driving revenue, and building a durable, differentiated brand in a historically under-innovated category.
