The Opportunity

The Director, Digital Marketing Strategist will lead the digital marketing strategy and operating model across Praxis’ Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) and Movement Disorder portfolios. This leader will define the digital vision, channel roadmap, and priorities across the portfolio and partner closely with functional marketing leaders to ensure digital capabilities are built and deployed in service of brand and business objectives.

This role will sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution.

This is a highly cross-functional leadership role for a builder who can establish clear digital strategy, simplify complexity, align stakeholders, and turn business priorities into disciplined execution.

Primary Responsibilities

• Partner with functional marketing leaders to translate brand strategy into digital priorities, ensuring website, digital media, CRM, and marketing technology initiatives are aligned to audience needs, brand objectives, and the broader commercial strategy.

• Establish measurement and performance expectations for digital marketing, ensuring teams have clear objectives, meaningful KPIs, and actionable insights to continuously improve digital effectiveness.
• Build scalable standards and best practices across brands and audiences, balancing portfolio consistency with the distinct needs of DEE and Movement Disorder.
• Lead through influence across a highly matrixed organization, bringing clarity to complex decisions, challenging assumptions, and creating alignment without relying on formal authority.
