Director of Audience

Chicago, United States | Posted on 08/15/2026

Our client is at the forefront of healthcare innovation, offering digital solutions across healthcare, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and more. For over two decades, the organization has seen remarkable growth, fueled by a mission to utilize the internet for a healthier world and more efficient healthcare systems.

Joining this organization means being part of a dedicated team striving to make a significant difference in healthcare, with a unique opportunity to be at the cutting edge of healthcare innovation and shape the future in a meaningful career.

Due to continued growth, our client is hiring a Director of Audience Growth for its physician engagement platform.

The Director of Audience Growth is responsible for the size, activity, and retention of the registered HCP audience on the platform. This role owns the mandate to stabilize the audience base, reverse erosion, and grow active, engaged HCPs quarter over quarter.

This is a hands-on operator role. The Director personally builds journeys in the ESP, configures segments in the CDP, runs experiments, reads dashboards, and authors briefs. The role leads the Commercial Operations Manager and the campaign delivery team, and partners closely with Product, Content, Sales, and Data.

Commercial campaigns serve as a signal source for this role. Every sponsored send to a registered HCP is a behavioral data point about that physician's interests, engagement state, fatigue, and channel preference. The Director extracts that intelligence and feeds it back into acquisition, segmentation, lifecycle, and reactivation programs, and sets the suppression and frequency rules that protect audience health while commercial campaigns are in flight.

• Run an always-on experimentation program against registration pages, gated-content forms, progressive profiling flows, and email/landing combinations. Personally write the hypothesis, configure the test, read the result, and decide the next move.
• Maintain a documented learning library: every experiment, every result, every decision. Treat the libraryas a core deliverable of the role.
• Partner with Product and UX toremove friction in sign-up and reactivation flows; bring quantified business cases, not opinions.
• Operate a measurable acquisition channel mix withcost-per-registered-HCP and lifetime-engagement targets per channel: SEO,programmatic, society and journal partnerships, content syndication,KOL/HCP referral, paid social on HCP-permitted platforms, and email-driven referral.
