Digital Marketing Manager – Lead Generation

CURE Epilepsy is seeking a highly engaged and dedicated Digital Marketing Manager who is looking for an
exciting opportunity where s/he can make a difference in the lives of others.

Overview of CURE Epilepsy:
One in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. For many of them, that means uncontrollable
seizures, stigma and discrimination in their communities, and sharply increased risks of health complications and
death. They need much more than efforts to manage their seizures – they need a cure.
For more than 20 years, CURE Epilepsy has been on an unrelenting search for that cure. Founded in 1998 by
Susan Axelrod and a small group of fellow parents, CURE Epilepsy was born out of their shared frustration over
the current state of epilepsy treatment. While the focus at that time centered on treating seizures and
symptoms, that approach offered little relief for the 30% of epilepsy patients who don’t respond to treatment.
Axelrod and her fellow founders knew it was time to change the conversation from treating to curing epilepsy –
and they dared to believe a cure was possible.
As the nonprofit leader in epilepsy research and the only organization solely dedicated to finding a cure for
epilepsy, we’ve worked to shift the focus from merely managing symptoms to understanding the causes of this
complex condition. With 3.4 million Americans and 65 million people worldwide living with epilepsy, CURE
Epilepsy is committed to furthering patient-focused research that can ultimately deliver the answers they need.

Position Summary:
