Position Overview We are seeking a fast-moving, creative, and impact-driven Marketing Director to join our leadership team. This is a role for a builder-not a maintainer. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, embraces a “run fast, break stuff, fix it better” mindset, and knows how to cut through complexity to deliver results. As an individual contributor and leader, you will move at startup speed to drive awareness, growth, and adoption of KYZATREX and Testosterone Deficiency as a critical health issue. You will set bold strategies, experiment rapidly, and execute with precision-balancing the discipline of a regulated industry with the urgency of a category-defining product. Primary Responsibilities • Run fast & drive impact: Execute bold marketing strategies with urgency-prioritizing outcomes over bureaucracy. • Build the category: Create massive awareness for Testosterone Deficiency and Testosterone as a metabolic hormone. • Position KYZATREX as #1: Make oral testosterone the default choice by highlighting its clear advantages over injections and creams. • Story tell at scale: Generate powerful content-video, audio, text, mixed media-that resonates with patients, physicians, and partners. • Leverage voices of authority: Activate senior management, patient advocates, and KOLs to amplify credibility and reach. • Experiment relentlessly: Test and learn across earned, owned, and paid channels- SEO, SEM, social, email, PR-with rapid iteration. • Demand data: Track KPIs obsessively, optimize campaigns on the fly, and report actionable insights to leadership and the board. • Collaborate, but push: Work with sales, regulatory, operations, and finance-but drive forward with urgency even when rules slow others down. • Expand reach: Identify new market opportunities (domestic & international) and move fast to capture them. What We're Looking For • A proven growth marketer who has built audiences and driven measurable results in high-stakes or regulated industries. • 7+ years of progressive marketing leadership, ideally including pharma, biotech, or consumer health. • Fluent in digital and social media platforms, with the ability to move from strategy to execution in the same day. • A creative disruptor who thinks beyond templates and finds new ways to win attention and loyalty. • Strong business acumen with the confidence to challenge assumptions and make tough calls. • Relentless bias for action-you move fast, adjust faster, and get things done. Why Join Us At Marius, you won't just market a product-you'll redefine a category. This is a role for someone who wants to leave a mark, move quickly, and help build a company from the ground up.
