About Solace

By harnessing the power of human connection through technology, Solace is transforming healthcare in the U.S.

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate the system without help. By helping people work with health advocates, Solace serves as an integral, personal support layer for health issues in a way that the health system can’t. Using proprietary technology to match patients with experienced advocates, Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare and helps individuals and families make informed decisions that result in better outcomes.

Solace is a Series B startup founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures and Signalfire. We have a lean, fully-remote U.S. team distributed coast-to-coast.

About the Role

As the SEM Manager at Solace, you are responsible for owning Solace's SEM efforts by doing whatever Solace needs in order to win. You will be expected to own our SEM process from beginning to end. You know Google's algorithm deeply and are familiar with what it takes to own the SERP on highly competitive keywords.

This is a rare opportunity where you will report to our Head of Growth and work on projects with direct visibility to our Chief Executive Officer.

Who are you? You are a talented operator who consistently delivers the highest quality work on timelines that would be unrealistic for most others. You get a rush from seeing your plans live in the real world. You take pride in your vision, execution and communication skills, and you absorb feedback exceptionally well. You enjoy taking ownership and love the startup grind.

You must be based in the US for this role.

What You’ll Do

• Win on SEM. Everything else here is table stakes, but there's a set of keywords that drive high volume, high intent users, and we have the resources and product and budget that justify us being at the top. We simply need the will and the execution to get there.
• Be autonomous. You’ll take full ownership of your work, and you take responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way.
• Work with small multi-disciplinary teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, and business folks to find elegant solutions to challenges.
• Rapidly produce multiple ideas. You're not attached to a particular tactic, only around solving the problem.
• Actively contribute to testing and ensuring the quality of our product
• Plan and Do. You create a plan and execute it. You're equally comfortable managing a large project team as well as executing entirely yourself.
• Learn and become a guardian of our standards to bring Solace to life.

What You Bring to the Table

• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
• 2+ years of relevant experience working on SEM for a consumer startup.
• An intuitive understanding of what it takes to bring a plan to life.
• Exceptional skills in planning.
• A bias toward action and execution. You get antsy if you’re not getting something done.
• Great communication skills that help you work with executive teams to make visions come to life.

Who We Are

We are a team of ambitious individuals who are passionate about putting healthcare back into the hands of patients. At Solace, you will have a steep learning curve and an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing healthcare startups in the U.S. The work you do here will have a noticeable and direct impact on the development of the company.
