About Throne
Throne is on a mission to improve health and save lives by transforming waste into wisdom.
We’re building the first health wearable for your toilet — a smart sensor that monitors your gut health and hydration effortlessly, with every flush.
In the near term, our goal is simple: help people better understand the stories their bodies are trying to tell them.
In the long term, our ambition is bold: to build the smoke detector for colon cancer that saves lives.
Each year, 900,000 people die globally from colorectal cancer — 50,000 in the U.S. alone. We believe that early detection and daily awareness can change that.
Launching in January 2026, we already have fully functioning prototypes, medical advisors from the University of Chicago and MIT, partnerships with leading influencers and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and a growing community of 5,000+ people ready to take control of their gut health.
Now, we need a Marketing Lead to help us grow this movement.
The Role
As Throne’s first in-house marketing hire, you’ll own the end-to-end strategy and execution for how we reach, educate, and convert our customers.
You’ll work directly with the CEO to build a marketing engine that’s equal parts data-driven experimentation and creative storytelling.
This role is for someone who loves testing, measuring, and iterating — but also knows that the best growth comes from authenticity, community, and brand trust.
You’ll shape how Throne shows up in the world — from paid ads and landing pages to influencer programs and partnerships — as we prepare for our upcoming product launch.
What You’ll Do
Own growth strategy across paid, organic, and partnership channels — balancing performance marketing with brand storytelling.
Hit key growth targets related to pre-orders, CAC, and conversion funnel optimization.
Build and manage a marketing experimentation engine — channel testing, creative testing, and attribution setup across tools like Meta, Google, and Northbeam.
Oversee influencer and affiliate programs, identifying, seeding, and nurturing relationships that align with Throne’s mission.
Partner with our social media manager to guide creative direction, ensure brand consistency, and translate data into actionable insights.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and leadership to align growth, retention, and storytelling.
Establish foundational analytics and reporting infrastructure — translating numbers into decisions and learnings we can build on.
Who You Are
4–6 years of experience in growth or full-stack marketing, ideally in health, wellness, or consumer tech.
Deep comfort with performance marketing tools, funnels, and attribution — but equally fluent in creative and community.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn data into strategy and strategy into execution.
Familiar with the unique nuances of marketing products regulated by FDA health and wellness guidelines.
Excited by the ambiguity of an early-stage startup — you’re hands-on, resourceful, and energized by experimentation.
Empathetic communicator and natural storyteller who believes in empowering people with better health data.
Why It Matters
When we succeed, we’ll help millions of people better understand their bodies — and one day save thousands of lives every year by catching disease earlier.
You’ll be joining a mission-driven, fast-moving team at the intersection of health, hardware, and data science, backed by world-class advisors and investors.
You’ll have the freedom to build something from the ground up — to shape the future of how people think about their own health.
If you’re driven by both heart and data — if you believe that better understanding our bodies can make the world healthier, longer, and more human — we’d love to hear from you.
