Docplanner. is a healthtech company on a mission to . help people live longer, healthier lives..

As we continue to scale, we are investing in more sophisticated growth capabilities using data, technology, automation and AI to evolve how people discover, choose and book care across our markets.. Joining Docplanner means becoming part of a company with meaningful scale, bold ambition, and the opportunity to help shape how a leading international healthtech business grows in the years ahead.. Job Description. Mission. Build an AI-first paid patient acquisition engine where campaign management, content creation and experimentation are largely automated, minimizing manual work and maximizing leverage (e.g. AI-generated creatives at scale, autonomous bidding and budget allocation, continuous experimentation loops, and AI-assisted decision making).. Own strategy, innovation and performance at scale with the following objectives: i) compensate current marketplace organic imbalances (there are cities in which we do not have enough organic bookings (patients) for doctors to retain them; ii) provide and monetize additional patients for doctors when CAC allows under different revenue models (selling our marketing services directly to doctors and clinics (Marketing 360 product), CPL or in a commission system per booking (share of the price of the visit - Terapia).. This is not a traditional performance marketing role. We aim to build a highly automated, AI-native acquisition engine. We expect you to rethink how paid marketing works: leveraging AI for campaign execution, creative generation, testing, and decision-making — with the goal of achieving maximum output with minimal human intervention.. Why now. We have reached a point in which we believe it makes sense to build and invest in the creation of a world class internal paid patient marketing team. There are several factors that drive today this decision: i) We are already number on 1 on SEO in all of our markets except Germany with limited competition (second player 3-10X less traffic); ii) Our Marketing 360 business (we sell Paid Marketing Services to our marketplace doctors) has grown significantly with over 10M investment in Google channels and potential to grow in other channels; iii) We are investing in new monetization models (percentage per service) in certain categories allowing for higher CAC at scale; iv) We have successfully implemented new ways of distribution of bookings/patients among saturated listings; v) AI and automation in marketing systems is booming - we saw several breakthroughs in Q4 2025 in patient paid marketing - campaign management, content creation and channels are changing every month. We believe there is an opportunity to lead it in our sector. Our ambition is to build the most advanced AI-driven patient acquisition engine in healthcare globally.. What you will do.
