The Opportunity

Legion is hiring a Consumer Growth Leader to build the company's direct-to-patient growth engine from early traction into a category-defining consumer health machine.

You will own the full consumer funnel: first impression, landing page, intake, eligibility, scheduling, first visit, retention, and reactivation. This is the person who makes Legion unavoidable to patients who need fast, affordable psychiatric care.

This is a player-coach role: you should be comfortable owning strategy, opening dashboards, writing ad hooks, reviewing landing pages, and hiring the team behind you.

The right person has the performance rigor of Hims/Ro, the consumer intuition of Function/Oura, the creator and UGC instincts of Seed/Curology, and the compliance judgment required to market real medical care without losing patient trust.

• Responsibilities and Deliverables
  • Own Legion's consumer growth number across qualified leads, scheduled visits, completed visits, CAC, payback, contribution margin, LTV, retention, and reactivation.
  • Build and scale paid acquisition across Meta, TikTok, Google Ads, YouTube, Reddit, affiliates, podcast/audio, CTV, direct mail, and emerging channels.
  • Create a high-velocity performance creative engine: hooks, scripts, UGC, clinician-led explainers, testimonials, landing page angles, offer tests, and audience-specific narratives.
  • Build a creator and influencer program that drives measurable acquisition, not vanity awareness: whitelisting, Spark Ads, creator briefs, usage rights, clinical review, and performance iteration.
  • Own funnel conversion from ad to appointment: landing pages, quizzes, intake flow, insurance/price messaging, scheduling, trust modules, abandonment recovery, and A/B testing.
  • Build Legion's SEO and content engine around anxiety, depression, psychiatry access, medication management, refills, insurance-covered psychiatry, and fast mental health care.
  • Own lifecycle marketing across email, SMS, retargeting, abandoned intake, no-show prevention, post-visit engagement, referrals, and winback.
  • Partner with product, data, clinical, legal, compliance, and operations to make growth fast without breaking patient trust, clinical quality, or healthcare marketing rules.
  • Build the growth operating system: weekly channel reviews, creative testing roadmap, CAC/payback dashboard, cohort reporting, attribution, incrementality tests, forecasting, and budget pacing.
  • Hire and manage the first consumer growth team across performance marketing, lifecycle, SEO/content, creative strategy, analytics, agencies, and creator partnerships.


You'll Be Successful If You...
  • Build a repeatable consumer acquisition engine that can take Legion from early scale to the next order of magnitude.
  • Improve CAC, conversion rate, visit completion rate, and payback while increasing qualified patient volume.
  • Create a creative machine that ships and learns every week across paid social, creator, landing pages, and lifecycle.
  • Prove which channels are incremental, which are platform-reported noise, and where the next dollar should go.
  • Make Legion trusted by patients, not just clicked on by patients.
  • Translate complex psychiatric care and AI-native medicine into simple, credible, emotionally resonant consumer messaging.
  • Build a team and agency bench that operates with urgency, clean data, tight feedback loops, and no tolerance for vague marketing activity.
  • Scale growth in a way clinical operations can absorb without damaging patient experience, quality, retention, or provider trust.


🧰 Ideal Background and Skills
  • 5+ years in consumer growth, performance marketing, or growth leadership at a high-growth consumer, DTC, marketplace, subscription, telehealth, healthcare, wellness, fintech, or regulated company.
  • Direct ownership of meaningful paid media budgets, ideally 7-figure+ annual spend, with clear accountability for CAC, ROAS, payback, LTV, and contribution margin.
  • Deep hands-on experience with paid social, especially Meta and TikTok; strong working knowledge of Google Search, YouTube, Reddit, affiliates, podcast/audio, CTV, direct mail, and emerging channels.
  • Strong performance creative judgment: you can write hooks, critique scripts, brief creators, identify why an ad worked, and build systems that produce high-quality creative at high volume.
  • Proven experience improving conversion across landing pages, onboarding, quizzes, checkout/intake flows, pricing pages, scheduling flows, and lifecycle touchpoints.
  • High analytical fluency: attribution, incrementality, cohort analysis, retention curves, LTV modeling, experimentation, budget pacing, and forecasting.
  • Comfortable with tools such as Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Google Ads, GA4, Segment, Mixpanel, Looker/Hex, SQL, HubSpot/Salesforce, Customer.io/Braze/Iterable, Webflow/Next.js landing pages, Optimizely/VWO, Figma, Airtable, and AI tools for creative iteration and analysis.
  • Experience with creator-led advertising, UGC, whitelisting, testimonials, customer stories, and compliance-safe social proof.
  • Healthcare judgment: you understand that patient acquisition is not the same as selling shoes. Claims, targeting, privacy, expectations, clinical review, and trust all matter.
  • Low ego, high urgency, founder-level ownership. You can set strategy on Monday, rewrite ad copy Tuesday, debug attribution Wednesday, and cut wasted spend Thursday.
