Marketing Sr Director: CareerMD

Healthcare’s helping hand.

CHG shook things up in 1979 by inventing the locum tenens staffing model. We connect doctors with patients who need their care. As the largest physician staffing firm in America, our providers treat millions of patients each year.

Our industry is growing and demand is high. This means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow and develop in your career. Keeping healthcare healthy can be as fun as it is rewarding

CareerMD has been one of the most trusted brands in physician recruitment for more than 20 years. We provide career resources for physicians and advanced practice providers, a comprehensive suite of recruitment marketing tools for healthcare employers, and operate the nation’s largest network of in-person career fairs—spanning over 100 cities annually.

Now backed by CHG Healthcare—named to Fortune’s “Best Companies to Work For” list for over a decade—CareerMD is entering an exciting period of rapid growth. We are investing in our platform, expanding our reach, and building the marketing function that will drive the next chapter of our growth on both sides of our marketplace.

Position Summary

The Senior Director, Marketing is a senior leadership role responsible for building and running CareerMD’s full marketing function—spanning both sides of our two-sided marketplace. On the B2B side, this leader will generate the qualified leads that fuel our sales pipeline, strengthen CareerMD’s brand among healthcare employers, and improve measurable indicators of market position including NPS and brand awareness. On the B2C side, they will grow our network of engaged physicians and advanced practice providers, driving user registrations, monthly active users, job applications, and career fair attendance.

Email marketing is CareerMD’s highest-volume channel today, and this leader will be expected to run it with rigor while simultaneously building the multi-channel foundation that reduces our concentration risk and drives diversified growth over time.

This is a role for a marketer who knows their numbers cold. The right candidate is equally comfortable building a performance channel strategy in a spreadsheet and presenting results to the executive team. They bring deep digital direct response experience, strong instincts for what moves the needle in a two-sided marketplace, and the organizational credibility to serve as a true cross-functional partner to Sales, Operations, and Product.

Who You Are

We care as much about how you think and operate as what’s on your resume. The characteristics below are not nice-to-haves—they describe the mindset we’re building this team around. If you don’t check every experience box above but you recognize yourself in all five of these, we want to hear from you. In our experience, people who operate this way find a way to win.

• Bias for action. You don’t wait for perfect information or a green light to start moving. You identify what you can learn, build, or test right now, and you go. You’d rather make a smart decision quickly and adjust than deliberate until the moment has passed.

• Lifelong learner. You actively seek out new ideas, tools, and perspectives—inside and outside your field. You read, you experiment, you ask questions. You treat every result, good or bad, as a source of signal. You are better at your craft than you were a year ago and expect to be better still a year from now.

• Test, learn, iterate. You don’t fall in love with your own ideas. You design experiments to challenge your assumptions, measure what actually happened, and let the results guide your next move. You know that the best marketing strategies aren’t declared—they’re discovered.

• Empirical thinker. You start with evidence, not opinions. When someone makes a claim, your first instinct is to ask: what does the data say? You build arguments from the ground up and are just as willing to change your mind as you are to defend your position—so long as the reasoning is sound.

• Low ego. Best idea wins. You’re not attached to being right—you’re attached to getting it right. You give credit generously, solicit feedback genuinely, and check your ego at the door when it conflicts with what’s best for the team or the business. You’ve worked places where seniority trumped merit, and you hated it.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in marketing, with meaningful tenure in digital direct response—owning performance channels, managing CAC/LTV economics, and driving measurable acquisition outcomes.

• Demonstrated success running either a B2B or B2C marketing function with a quantifiable track record: pipeline generated, cost per acquisition, revenue influenced, audience growth, or comparable business outcomes.

• Deep hands-on experience across the digital marketing stack: email marketing, paid search, paid social, programmatic, SEO/SEM, and content marketing.

• Proven email marketing expertise: list management, segmentation, deliverability, lifecycle automation, and performance optimization at scale.

• Strong analytical fluency—comfortable building and owning performance models, attribution frameworks, and executive-level reporting. This is not a role for someone who delegates the numbers.

• Experience managing and developing marketing teams.

• Proven ability to partner effectively with Sales, including aligning on lead definitions, pipeline targets, and feedback loops.

Preferred

• Experience marketing within a two-sided marketplace, job board, or recruitment marketing platform—with an understanding of the distinct acquisition and engagement dynamics on each side.

• Experience driving traffic acquisition for a job board or employment marketplace, including SEO, SEM, and paid strategies specific to job seeker and employer audiences.

• Familiarity with the physician and advanced practice provider audience, including how clinicians engage digitally in their career search.

• Experience in healthcare staffing, health media, or a closely adjacent vertical.

• Familiarity with AI and automation tools applied to marketing—including content generation, predictive lead scoring, audience segmentation, or campaign optimization.

• Experience operating within a private equity-backed or strategically-owned business.
