Role

We are looking for a Director of Product Marketing to join the Candid team and play an important role in defining and communicating value propositions and differentiators across our suite of products. Ultimately these will be expressed in-product, in key marketing channels, and through our sales teams–engaging most deeply on our core B2B clear aligner system offering.

This is both a strategic and a hands-on, independent contributor role that will own the product marketing narrative and help oversee content execution. Reporting to the VP of Marketing, this role will work cross-functionally with product, operations, creative, and field teams, as well as across the Marketing organization as a whole. This role will be instrumental in assessing market needs, conducting research and driving new product development, go-to-market plans, and opportunities to improve existing products and content in the field as well as in mass channels. 

The ideal candidate will also have a strong foundation in dental or orthodontic markets, as well as a track record of shaping product strategy, growing product adoption, and a strong working knowledge of marketing channels and tactics.

 

• Develop and drive a strategy for our dental practitioner-focused treatment and product offerings in conjunction with Product and Marketing (Performance, Brand, Creative) teams - both for existing and future products

• Drive major strategic projects including competitive analysis, pricing, product positioning and messaging, and developing adoption plans

• Work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales to unify our narrative, amplify our strategy, and build more collaborative and efficient work processes
• Empower our Sales teams with strategic content and sales process support from initial touch to contract, and champion a strong feedback loop between sales and product
• Drive testing agenda for new products work across the business based on consumer insights and market trends

 

• Bachelor’s degree or relevant experience
• Overall 8+ years of experience driving go-to-market or product marketing in the B2B dental or orthodontic space 
• Demonstrably strong emphasis on data-backed strategic insights, value proposition design, and sales team enablement 
• Ability to identify target market segments, understand customer needs, and develop strategies to position the company as a trusted and innovative partner.
• Data driven decision maker, able to self-serve insights both qualitative and quantitative and translate those into content, even in ambiguous settings
• Excellent communicator, collaborator, influencer, and stakeholder manager, both cross-functionally and with exec level stakeholders
• Ability to prioritize, meet deadlines, easily transition from high level strategic thinking to detailed creative execution, and independently drive initiatives forward
• Working knowledge of how product strategies come to life across a variety of content channels (ex: product website, email, collateral, paid advertising, editorial)
• Excellent understanding of legal and regulatory environment (ideally in healthcare) marketing, promotions, and other compliance-related issues

Pay & Perks 

• Competitive compensation
• Stock option plan to give our employees a direct stake in Candid’s success
• Unlimited PTO to give our employees a little extra R&R when they need it 
• Work from home stipend 
• Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision) and generous parental leave
• Significant discount on our customized treatment plans and aligners
• You will grow a lot here. You’ll be surrounded by employees with deep experience in their field, who have a strong passion for doing great work and constantly learning

Our range for this role is $175,000-195,000. Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other perks. To determine our range, we consider as many of the following data points as are available to us: external market salary survey data, experience level, skillset and balancing internal equity relative to our other employees. We include equity in our compensation packages because we believe our employees should have an option to purchase ownership in the company and benefit from what we hope will be a lot of upside growth. We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at Candid to fall healthily throughout the range based on these factors.
