Founding Growth Marketer

Let’s make the NHS the most advanced healthcare system in the world. The world’s best healthcare, for free. It’s not a new idea, it’s called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works. We love the NHS because it’s accessible to all, free at the point of delivery and employs millions up and down the UK. But we’ve all read the headlines. It’s under intense pressure with rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty and an ageing population. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken. The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a ridiculous amount of time on mundane admin. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. And that’s where we’re making a difference. We’re focused on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. Our first product, Automated Registrations, is already used by 24% of GP practices in England. With this wedge in the market, we’re now building more powerful tech that unlocks access to healthcare for the entire nation.

Our Principles

• Care deeply
• Work hard
• Be your word
• Trust in radical truth and transparency
• Do your life’s best work
• Find the fun

Mission statement

Healthtech-1 exists to unlock appointment access in the NHS. To get there, we need to put our products in front of GP practices, fast. We’re already in a quarter of GP practices in England and we’re not slowing down! As Founding Growth Marketer you’ll be an essential part of the growth team. We’re currently dependent on outbound activity from the sales team. But if we’re truly going to make a positive impact on the NHS and do it fast you need to help us turn the tables and make inbound leads a core channel. Doing so you will radically transform our growth.

We would like you to initially focus on 2 marketing channels: content distribution and community, before moving onto other channels. Over time you’ll have the agency to create the growth marketing playbook that takes us to 100% of the country (and who knows, even beyond). If this excites you, get in touch.

Opportunities for progression:

This is a founding role. As we grow, so does this function, and so does your remit. You’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a team. From day 1, you’ll have the agency to create the growth marketing playbook that takes us to 100% of the country. If this excites you, get in touch.

Required experience

Inclusive & Diverse by Design

We care about building a product that is loved and a culture that is rich in perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Our team represents more than ten different cultures. We come together every lunch time for a home cooked meal, rotated among team members. We want everyone in our team to know that they belong. We are purposeful about this and are proactively building a company that is inclusive of all people; from race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodiversity, disability, colour, and national origin – essentially every type of diversity. We don’t just want people who fit in, we want them to fit together. We’re active in continually improving the way we make this happen.
