HelloMD is the nation's leading online destination for the modern cannabis and hemp-CBD consumer. In the four years that we have been operating, our brand has become synonymous with health and wellness with cannabis—catering to the discerning and thoughtful consumer (i.e.; not stoners or pot-heads). Our offerings include best-in-class telehealth services, rich resources for general cannabis education, community participation, and most recently; a curated e-commerce experience for those seeking cannabis and/or hemp-CBD products.

We are looking for a wildcard split-personality type.  Equal parts; SEO junkie, Analytics wizard, and Growth Hacker. The cannabis industry, while exciting, can be challenging—especially when trying to advertise and acquire new customers. There are just so many rules in place that throttle, or prohibit, traditional marketing and advertising efforts.  Which means having a perfectly optimized site, with perfectly optimized content, is important so that we get as much organic love as possible.  Keeping a close eye on the data and knowing how to read the tea-leaves is also of critical importance—as it determines how we tune our user experience. In a constantly changing industry, this is an ongoing challenge. Just when you think you've secured a path, the destination changes. If you're motivated by this sort of challenge, then HelloMD could be a great place for you to come play.

We're a start-up, so you'll be working across all levels of our organization and be expected to play well in an inter-disciplinary environment. You'll be a problem solver, and be a creative and quantitative thinker. You'll have experience in influencing the engineering teams so that they adhere to optimization best practices. You'll be fluent in the usual set of tools for data analysis and know how to set-up google analytics so that the exec team feels like they are getting the right macro-level views. You'll also have a sixth sense in interpreting the data and intuitively know how to leverage into growth strategies. Being able to form strong, defensible, POV's is key for this role. 

Ideally, you'll have experience in ecommerce. But, most importantly, you'll be fluent in all of the contemporary methods for analyzing and optimizing growth across all online channels.
