# Founding Performance Marketer (PPC)Stratford, Connecticut5 hours agoID 2575255Price on request## DetailsEmployment type: Full-timeRemote: NoCompany: Healthtech 1## DescriptionWe're unlocking access to the NHS, because healthcare is not truly free until it's truly accessible The world’s best healthcare, for free. It's not a new idea, it's called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. Patient satisfaction is at an all time low, and the biggest reason cited is lack of access. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works. We're building the front door of UK healthcare, creating a future where one billion NHS appointments are transparent and instantly bookable, and patients are guided to the right service first time using AI. We're developing critical national infrastructure. Today, 26% of GP practices in England use our patient registration software, while one in five GP practices in London use Bookable Search to help new patients find and book appointments seamlessly. Our latest product, Bookable Navigator, extends this vision by automatically booking appointments for existing patients. We operate from within a working GP practice in East London We're backed by Y Combinator, Innovate UK and the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme, and were previously ranked the 8th fastest-growing startup in the UK and 33rd fastest-growing in Europe Our Principles Exciting challenges lie ahead. Guided by our principles, we’ll meet these challenges with a thoughtful and caring approach. These principles drive everything we do at Healthtech-1: • Care deeply • Work hard • Be your word • Trust in radical truth and transparency • Do your life's best work • Find the fun Read more about our principles and our \"why\" in the Healthtech-1 Handbook . Why this role matters Finding and booking a GP is still one of the most frustrating experiences in UK healthcare. Bookable.health fixes that. Patients search, find a practice or pharmacy near them, register and book in minutes. Our first product is already used by 26% of GP practices in England, and Bookable is how we connect those practices directly with patients. Paid search drives most of our patient traffic today. We run a seven-figure-a-year paid search account, and small gains compound fast: a 10% lift in conversion is worth hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to us. We're hiring a founding performance marketer to take paid search into an excellent patient acquisition engine, and then build out our next paid channels.
