The Director of Marketing owns the Commence brand and the full marketing function. Reporting to the Chief Growth Officer, this executive leads the marketing and branding teams and is accountable for positioning Commence as the recognized leader in AI-enabled health services across federal, commercial, and public health markets. This role will mature a marketing organization inside a fast-scaling, private equity-backed platform, aligning brand, demand generation, and market intelligence directly to revenue growth and business development capture. The right candidate has marketed technology-driven businesses to both government and commercial buyers, understands the distinct rhythms of federal capture marketing versus commercial demand generation, and can translate complex health data and AI capabilities into a clear, differentiated market narrative.

Build and execute the annual marketing strategy and budget in direct alignment with growth targets, pipeline objectives, and the corporate development roadmap. Lead, develop, and scale the marketing and branding teams, including agency and contractor relationships, with clear accountability for output quality and measurable impact. Drive demand generation and account-based marketing for commercial health buyers (payers, health systems, insurers) while supporting federal capture with targeted thought leadership, conference strategy, and customer-facing collateral. Partner with business development and capture teams to produce win-oriented content: capability statements, case studies, white papers, proposal support materials, and executive briefing assets. Position Commence's proprietary technology platform and AI capabilities credibly in a market where trust, compliance, and clinical rigor matter as much as innovation. Own digital presence end to end: website, SEO/SEM, social channels, email programs, and marketing analytics, with disciplined measurement of pipeline contribution and cost per opportunity. Support M&A activity with brand integration playbooks, rebrand execution for acquired companies, and communications support through diligence and close. Ensure all marketing activity respects the compliance realities of a federal health contractor, including accurate claims, protection of sensitive information, and appropriate handling of client references. 10+ years of progressive marketing experience, including 5+ years leading marketing teams at the director level or above. Demonstrated success marketing technology or technology-enabled services businesses in both the federal/government sector and the commercial sector. Deep familiarity with federal market dynamics: capture lifecycles, GovCon media and conference ecosystems, teaming-driven awareness, and marketing's role in supporting proposals and past performance narratives.

Experience building or significantly scaling a marketing function, including team hiring, budget ownership, and agency management. Exceptional writing and messaging skill, with the ability to make complex technical and clinical capabilities clear and compelling. Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field.
