About Somethings
Somethings is building the first social wellness platform for teens and young adults — a place where a teen can form a real relationship with a mentor who gets them, sticks with them, and helps them get better.
25 million teens in the U.S. are struggling with their mental health. Every one of the thousands of teens who download Somethings is struggling. Our job is to make sure they don’t just show up — they stay, connect with real humans who care deeply about them, and get the support they need to thrive.
We’re backed by General Catalyst and world-class healthcare + consumer investors, and we’re growing fast — in 2025 we grew 1100%, and we’re on track to 5x in 2026.
If you want to help shape how a generational company in mental health shows up to the world, welcome home.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a senior, hands-on marketing leader — someone with Director-level judgment and Individual Contributor energy — to own how Somethings shows up in the world for our commercial team and our recruiting funnel.
This is not a “big-budget, top-down” role. This is a core company builder role where you will be instrumental in bringing Somethings to the biggest stages.
You’ll personally shape our voice, grow our presence, and execute end-to-end across social, brand, and commercial marketing in service of making Somethings the best known brand in mental health. You’ll operate as both the strategist and the doer, setting the narrative and making it real in the world.
This role is focused on driving brand awareness, commercial opportunities with health plans and states, and driving increases in recruiting rather than driving user acquisition.
You will define how Somethings is positioned to customers, partners, and future teammates as we scale into a category-defining company.
What You’ll Do
You won’t just “run marketing.” You’ll own two of the most important growth and positioning engines in the company:
1. Power Our Commercial & Sales Presence
Build and execute the marketing systems that help our commercial team win.
Own our LinkedIn presence and how Somethings shows up to customers, partners, and the broader market
Shape our conference strategy, brand presence, and field marketing approach
Create sales enablement content and positioning that helps our commercial team tell a clear, compelling story
Define how we communicate value, differentiation, and credibility in high-stakes, real-world conversations
2. Build Our Brand & Recruiting Funnel
Turn Somethings into a company people want to follow, work for, and talk about.
Own our presence on X/Twitter and emerging platforms
Partner with engineers and internal leaders to help them build authentic, high-impact social presences
Design a top-of-funnel strategy that attracts exceptional technical and mission-driven talent
Experiment, ship, and iterate on content that feels human, credible, and culturally relevant
3. Own Strategy and Execution End-to-End
This is a true IC leadership role.
Set brand and positioning strategy — then personally bring it to life
Write, post, test, refine, and ship content yourself
Build lightweight systems and processes that scale as the company grows
Track what works, double down, and cut what doesn’t — quickly and decisively
Who You Are
You are a builder-marketer, not a slide-deck marketer.
You have 6+ years of marketing experience, ideally in startups or high-growth environments
You’ve personally run and grown social or brand channels — and can point to things you built that actually worked
You’re as comfortable writing a post or launching a campaign as you are setting strategy
You care deeply about voice, positioning, and how a company feels in the world — not just how it converts
You thrive in ambiguity and love owning problems end-to-end
You communicate clearly, move quickly, and don’t need a large team or budget to make real impact
You can get creative with design tools (Canva, Figma, etc) and can make your own assets and write your own posts as needed.
Bonus points if you’ve helped grow a startup’s presence from “unknown” to “people pay attention to this.”
How We Work
We’re building a culture that blends high performance, deep belonging, and radical clarity:
We care about outcomes, not theatrics
We move quickly and learn constantly
We speak the truth early
We protect focus
We hold a high bar for craft and quality
We’re small, intense, collaborative, and mission-driven
We care deeply about each other — and the millions of teens we serve
If you’re looking for a place where you can truly own your work and shape how a company shows up in the world, this is it.
