Job Description

What this role is

Ascend is a South Florida healthcare management company building the marketing and technology infrastructure that drives growth across a portfolio of home health and healthcare services.

• The lead capture and nurture system quiz, SMS capture, 7-day email sequence, and retargeting audiences

• The full branded content suite lead magnet PDFs, service brochures, and the social content calendar

• CS, digital marketing, information systems, or related undergraduate major, ideally pre-graduate school

• Working knowledge of at least one CRM, marketing automation, or web platform

• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and deliver without daily supervision

• Genuine interest in building systems that produce measurable business outcomes

• A live, working marketing system built by you with real performance data attached to every component

• Demonstrated experience in CRM architecture, paid advertising, conversion optimization, and marketing automation

• The ability to explain a digital growth strategy in business terms, not just technical terms

• Produce four branded lead magnet PDFs, a service brochure suite, and the social content calendar

• Submit weekly performance reports with specific optimization recommendations for every active campaign and system

• Document every system built with enough detail that it can be operated or modified by another team member without starting over

• Working knowledge of at least one CRM, marketing automation, or web development platform

• Demonstrated ability to manage independent projects and deliver results on a consistent schedule

• Clear written and verbal communication reports are reviewed by business leadership, not technical staff

Preferred

• Experience building or managing Google Ads or Facebook Ads campaigns

• Exposure to landing page design, UX, or web development

• Proficiency in graphic design tools such as Canva or Adobe Creative Suite
