Acquisition & Growth - Own acquisition strategy and budget for each market across paid, organic, referral, and partner channels. - Partner with the sales and account management teams on hospital and veterinary professionals acquisition and growth, aligning on targets and pipeline and equipping them with the messaging, materials, and campaigns that support their outreach. - Partner with the lifecycle team on onboarding, activation, and engagement journeys for each market, bringing the audience insight, messaging, and goals that shape them, and reviewing performance together to turn new sign-ups into active users. - Shape referral and ambassador programs that help veterinary professionals and hospitals bring Roo to their peers. Brand Presence & Community - Partner with the brand team to grow Roo's presence in each market, bringing local insight and ideas to campaigns, content, design, and creative so the work feels like Roo and lands locally. - Partner with the brand team on PR and earned media for each market, surfacing local stories, voices, and media opportunities that build Roo's credibility. - Bring ideas for Roo's presence at conferences, trade shows, CE events, and industry moments, and partner with the brand, events, and partnerships teams to bring them to life, from concept and experience through the follow-up that turns attendees into Roo users. - Build relationships with local partners, key opinion leaders, and industry associations that help Roo earn trust in a new market. Measurement & Insights - Own marketing measurement for each market, setting goals and metrics before every launch and campaign and tracking performance across the funnel on both sides of the marketplace. - Track channel and campaign performance against budget, read signals in early data, and shift investment toward what's working. - Measure brand awareness and perception as Roo grows in each market, partnering with the brand team on research. - Share clear, regular reporting on what's working, what isn't, and what's next with international and marketing leadership.
