The Opportunity
Personalized healthcare is the future. Working on Lingo, you will help build a next-generation technology that enables individuals to make decisions about how to improve energy, lose weight or enhance athletic performance. The Lingo team embodies a start-up culture and mindset with the backing of Abbott, a company with a rich history of healthcare innovation. Join us and grow your career as you help Abbott shape the future of healthcare.

This position is affiliated with our West Coast location and reports directly to Lingo’s Divisional Vice President.

In addition, you will partner closely with the Head of Product to help develop a compelling and differentiated product offering.

This role is critical to the success and growth of Lingo. Its scope is much broader than a typical marketing leadership role as it includes shaping what Lingo is and how it impacts people’s lives.

You will oversee brand strategy, marketing and social campaigns, product launches, and the customer service team covering both pre-sale and post-sale touchpoints. In support of these functions, you will also manage the in-house creative studio and customer and market insights.

·         Maintain social media presence across all digital channels

·         Creative mindset in fast-evolving technology environments with experience in a consumer-facing organization

·         Recent experience with human health technology, sports/performance technology, connected devices, or remote monitoring is a plus

·         Relevant track record in developing a brand architecture with a meaningful top-line impact in a consumer-based setting

·         Strong understanding of customer insights, PR management, and CRM with demonstrated leadership in leading teams across multiple disciplines

·         Analytical mindset with previous experience working closely with performance marketing channels
