About the Role

We are seeking a User Growth Lead to develop and optimize the patient acquisition funnel beyond school-staff referrals, focusing on parents, caregivers, and community-based referrers.

    • Experimenting with text messaging campaigns to increase engagement with non-school-staff referrers.
  • Write engaging content for digital channels and conduct A/B testing to optimize messaging effectiveness.
  • Lead Daybreak’s internal User Engagement forum, analyzing digital marketing performance and refining strategies accordingly.
  • Use data-driven insights to assess campaign performance and pivot strategies as needed.
  • Report key findings and growth initiatives to the Chief Growth Officer, providing recommendations for scaling successful efforts.

  • Expertise in email marketing, with proficiency in Iterable.
  • Social media channel management experience required.
  • Experience with paid ads/performance marketing is a plus.
  • Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external consultants in a fast-paced environment.
  • Curious and data-driven mindset, with a commitment to staying on top of the latest marketing trends and technologies, including AI-driven marketing solutions.
  • Ability to uncover and test new, high-potential channels to engage families and communities.
  • Strong analytical skills, with experience in Looker, Salesforce, and Google Analytics preferred.
  • B2C is required, combination of B2B and B2C experience preferred.
  • Experience marketing products or services for youth and adolescents is preferred but not required. Daybreak will provide training on adolescent mental health to the selected candidate without direct experience.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
