The posting
At Sword, we’re building AI to heal billions and unlock humanity’s full potential. In doing so, we’re pioneering AI Care, a fundamentally new approach to healthcare built for medical reasoning, safety, and real-time treatment, not generic technology applied after the fact. As both a clinical-centric frontier AI lab and an applied AI platform, Sword is reimagining how care is delivered at scale, removing traditional barriers like appointments, waiting rooms, and stigma so more people can access the care they need—and ultimately get back to lives lived in full.
Since 2020, Sword has expanded across physical therapy, women’s health, cardiometabolic, and mental health, and is now moving beyond the session to a fully AI-native, 24/7 care program that brings physical activity, therapeutic exercise, psychotherapy, nutrition, and behavior change into one connected experience. More than 700,000 members across three continents have completed over 10 million AI sessions, helping 1,000+ enterprise clients avoid more than $1 billion in unnecessary healthcare costs. Backed by 42 clinical studies, 44+ patents, and more than $500 million raised from leading investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund, Sword is defining a new standard for healthcare.
AI Proficiency at Sword
AI fluency is a core expectation at Sword. Every candidate is assessed against our three-level framework — be ready to share real examples of how AI is already part of how you work.
- Explorer (Level 1) — Uses AI daily to boost personal productivity
- Builder (Level 2) — Creates workflows and tools that elevate the whole team
- Integrator (Level 3) — Embeds AI into products and processes at scale
Every hire must demonstrate at least Level 1. The expected level will vary depending on the seniority of the role.
Role
Headspace reaches millions of members through 1,500+ employer and health plan clients. As CRM Lead, you'll set the B2B2C lifecycle strategy with the leadership and personally deliver it for a focused portfolio of utilization-based and strategic accounts, where CRM performance directly affects contract outcomes. You'll also build the foundation that lets the rest of the book run at scale, and you'll lead and develop the CRM Manager.
This is a true player-coach role. Expect to spend roughly half your time building in Braze and the rest on strategy, architecture, experimentation, and coaching.
What you’ll be doing
- Define the B2B2C CRM strategy and roadmap in collaboration with leadership, covering activation, engagement, and retention
- Own CRM execution for utilization-based and strategic accounts: design, build, QA, launch, and optimize custom journeys in Braze
- Track member utilization and engagement against contractual targets, and adjust programs to close gaps
- Partner with Client Success and account teams to tailor programs to client population, goals, and commitments at scale
- Build the foundational infrastructure for the scaled book, including base Canvas architecture, client-level segmentation, and dynamic content frameworks, so the Manager can operate it at volume
- Own the data and segmentation architecture, including custom attributes and events and how org-level context drives personalization
- Run the experimentation program: hypotheses, test design, readouts, and roadmap decisions
- Pilot new approaches with priority accounts, then hand proven plays to the Manager to scale across the book
- Set standards for Canvas architecture, naming conventions, and measurement
- Manage, coach, and develop the CRM Manager: set priorities, give feedback, and decide when requests from the broader book warrant custom work
- Own the performance narrative for senior leadership
- Coordinate with Product, Data/Analytics, Legal/Compliance, and the D2C CRM team
What you need to have
- 7+ years in CRM or lifecycle marketing with deep, hands-on Braze expertise (Canvas, Liquid, Connected Content, segmentation, event-driven triggers)
- A record of defining strategy and personally building and shipping it
- Experience managing a small portfolio of performance-linked accounts where CRM outcomes affect contract results
- Experience managing or mentoring others, formally or informally
- Comfort with SQL and analytics tools (Snowflake, Amplitude), and the ability to turn data into decisions
- Strong presence with senior stakeholders and cross-functional influence
- Experience with B2B2C, benefits, or health-adjacent products (preferred)
- Familiarity with HIPAA and privacy-conscious data practices (preferred)
How success is measured
- Utilization and engagement outcomes for utilization-based and strategic accounts
- A clear, adopted roadmap
- A sound, scalable Braze architecture that the Manager can run
- Proven plays that get successfully scaled
- The growth and effectiveness of your direct report
