Job Overview:

Lantern is building the most trusted brand in specialty care.

You’ll serve as the connective tissue between content, creative, growth marketing, PR, product marketing, and commercial teams, ensuring brand investments are aligned, measured, and optimized for business impact. This role demands a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative fluency, with a keen eye toward how brand building drives growth. You’ll also be an internal champion for new tools and technologies - especially generative AI - that unlock new efficiencies and creative potential.

Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership

• Own the strategy for Lantern’s brand marketing pillars: employer brand, awareness, perception, engagement, and power of voice.
• Develop annual and quarterly brand marketing plans aligned with company goals and supported by clear KPIs.
• Serve as a strategic thought partner to leaders across marketing, product, and commercial functions.

• Act as the voice of brand health in internal forums, driving alignment and shared understanding of priorities and results.
• Lead industry recognition efforts and manage agency/partner collaborations to extend brand reach.

• Lead the development and rollout of Lantern’s Brand Strength Measurement Framework, incorporating internal KPIs and external benchmarks (e.g., perception studies).
• Conduct competitive and audience research to identify whitespace and fine-tune positioning.
• Translate insights into decisions, adjusting tone, channels, or strategy based on performance and opportunity.

Execution, Governance & Ownership

• Personally lead key brand projects end-to-end—from concept through creative execution and post-launch analysis.
• Contribute to messaging, campaign narratives, and storytelling frameworks.
• Build, maintain, and continuously improve brand resources—including centralized guidelines, playbooks, and training programs.
• Ensure all external-facing brand expressions are consistent, compelling, and on-strategy. Conduct regular brand audits and evolve brand documentation annually based on learnings.
• Manage third party vendors and ensure projects meet deadlines and budget constraints.
• Champion emerging technologies—including generative AI—to scale brand content and enhance creative workflows.
• Identify and pilot new tools that improve content creation, insight generation, or campaign management.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience in brand marketing, with a strong preference for B2B healthcare environments.
• A proven track record of building and scaling brand programs that demonstrate measurable business impact.
• Highly analytical and data-driven with fluency in brand measurement techniques and tools. Comfortable running own analysis in excel, SFDC and collaborating with product on user analytics
