Marketing Manager

At Parallel, we build AI agents that help healthcare organizations automate their administrative processes and unlock additional revenue, starting with medical coding. Today, up to 25% of healthcare spending is lost to manual, repetitive administrative tasks. Legacy software hasn't helped: it has made work slower, more complex and more frustrating for care teams. We believe AI agents can change this. Our technology combines large language models with system-level automation to do real work inside existing hospital tools. No integration, no disruption. Our first agent automates coding and frees up time for medical teams to focus on patients. We launched in 2024 and already have 800+ customers and a team of 30+ people. We are backed by top-tier investors (Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Hexa, Frst, Kima Ventures, Better Angle and the CEO of Mistral AI), and this is just the beginning. The future of healthcare isn't just digital, it's automated. Come help us build it! CONTEXT Our product works, our customers are happy and the pipeline is growing, with international expansion underway. What we don't have yet is a marketing function. You will be our first marketing hire. You will own marketing end to end, report directly to Paul, CEO, and work hand in hand with Victoire, Sales Lead, on everything that drives revenue. You will define how Parallel is positioned and perceived in the hospital market, own product marketing end to end, then build the engine that turns this positioning into visibility, pipeline and contracts. You will define the strategy and execute it yourself. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Understand why customers buy from us: talk to our customers, lost prospects and the sales team to know exactly why hospitals buy Parallel, or don't. - Positioning and messaging: define who we serve, what problem we solve for each decision-maker (DAF, management control, DSI, executive leadership) and why us rather than the alternatives. - Competitive analysis: map our competitive landscape and turn it into a sales narrative the team actually uses. - Sales materials: deck, one-pager, objection handling. - LinkedIn presence: give Parallel and its founders a consistent, credible voice. - Later on: adapt our positioning and go-to-market to our first international markets, and define and start building the marketing team. Within 6 months, you lead product launches with the product team (from messaging to sales enablement and customer communication), a marketing plan is running with clear priorities, budget and metrics, Parallel is present where our buyers are (2 to 3 key healthcare events, SantExpo or equivalent), a content engine is in place (customer stories, op-eds, newsletter) and the customer journey is structured (onboarding, product update communication, upsell messaging). Within 12 months, Parallel is a recognized voice on hospital finance and digital transformation, and marketing generates a significant, measurable share of the pipeline. WHO YOU ARE - You have owned positioning and product marketing in B2B SaaS, ideally with long sales cycles and many stakeholders. - You can build a strategy and execute it yourself: you're as comfortable writing a messaging framework as the LinkedIn post that comes out of it. - You write very well in French and English, and you get straight to the point. - You work closely with sales and measure your impact in pipeline, not likes. - You know how to prioritize in a fast-paced, still loosely structured environment. - You're interested in healthcare and want to understand how hospitals buy. - Must-have: a sharp pen and strong synthesis skills, and a real sense of ownership. OUR VALUES - Play to Win: we're not here to just take part, deliver something "good enough" or simply enjoy the startup ride. We want to win. That means caring about results, moving fast and bringing the right intensity when it matters. - High Trust, High Standards: trust is our starting point. If you join us, it's because we believe you can own your scope and make good decisions. We don't want a company built on approvals, control and micromanagement. But trust comes with accountability: the more freedom you have, the higher the bar. - Low Ego, Hands-On: at Parallel, no one is above the work. No title, seniority or past success exempts anyone from getting involved in the actual work. Leading means taking responsibility, not distancing yourself from execution. - Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously: we take our mission very seriously, not ourselves. Building a company is intense. We want Parallel to remain a place where people enjoy spending time together, laughing, celebrating and giving energy to others. High standards and a good atmosphere aren't opposites: we want both.

Studies show that women in particular tend to apply only when they meet 100% of the criteria. If that's you, please don't let that hold you back. We'd love to receive your application.
