Job Description:
Job Description About SEO Brand SEO Brand is a globally
recognized, top rated client acquisition agency with nearly 20
years of proven results. We exist for one reason: to help our
clients grow their customer base through search, paid media, and AI
powered visibility. From specialty practices to Fortune 500
companies, the organizations we work with do not just grow. They
dominate their markets. While SEO Brand serves clients across
multiple industries, healthcare has emerged as one of our strongest
and most proven verticals. We have built a meaningful portfolio of
healthcare case studies spanning specialty practices, multi
location physician groups, and regional health systems, and the
results have been exceptional. Our healthcare work speaks for
itself. Now we are ready to scale it. We are hiring one person to
make that happen. The Opportunity One job. One metric. Grow the
pipeline. This is a newly created role. SEO Brand has built its
client base through inbound leads and referrals. We are now opening
a dedicated offline channel focused entirely on the healthcare
vertical, and we need someone with the right relationships and the
sales instincts to drive it. Your job is not to close deals. We
have a Director of Sales who does that exceptionally well. Your job
is to generate qualified conversations with healthcare marketing
and patient acquisition leaders who control digital budgets at
their organizations. Every introduction you make, every qualified
conversation you initiate, every warm handoff you deliver to our
sales team is the entire job. We take it from there. Healthcare
clients in this space typically sign twelve month contracts and
maintain those relationships well beyond that. You open the door
once. The relationship sustains itself for years. Your commission
is front loaded and paid at the point of conversion. You keep what
you bring in and you are immediately back to hunting the next
opportunity. The Relationships That Matter in This Role This is the
most important section of this posting. Read it carefully before
applying. Not every healthcare network is the right fit. The
decision makers we need access to are the people who own marketing
strategy, patient acquisition budgets, and digital vendor
relationships at their organizations. Those titles look like: •
Chief Marketing Officers and VPs of Marketing at hospitals, health
systems, and large practices • Directors of Digital Marketing,
Patient Experience, and Marketing Strategy • Directors of Marketing
at specialty practices, multi location physician groups, and
outpatient networks • Healthcare growth and strategy executives who
own or directly influence marketing vendor decisions If your
network inside healthcare is primarily clinical, meaning
physicians, department heads, directors of procurement, or
operations leadership, this role is not the right fit. Those
relationships, while valuable in other contexts, do not reach the
buying decision we are trying to generate. If your network includes
the people listed above and those people take your calls because
you have earned that trust, keep reading. A Note on Backgrounds
That Are Not the Right Fit We have the deepest respect for the
breadth of talent in the healthcare industry. However based on the
specific nature of this role, the following backgrounds are
unlikely to produce the decision maker relationships this position
requires and are not the right fit: physician services, provider
recruitment, clinical operations, hospital administration, post
acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, nursing leadership,
healthcare staffing, workers compensation, occupational medicine,
managed care, payer operations, pharmaceutical sales, biotech or
CRO business development, and medical device sales where the
primary buyer was clinical or procurement leadership rather than
marketing leadership. If your career has been built primarily in
any of these areas, we encourage you to review the relationship
requirements above carefully before applying. The most common
reason candidates are not advanced in our process is a mismatch
between their healthcare network and the specific marketing
decision maker relationships this role requires. We want to be
respectful of your time and transparent about what we are looking
for. Who We Are Looking For The ideal candidate has a sales
oriented background and has spent their career building
relationships with healthcare marketing and growth leadership
specifically. Backgrounds that tend to produce the right profile
include: • Healthcare PR, communications, or marketing agency
professionals who regularly called on hospital and health system
marketing departments • Digital media or advertising sales
professionals who sold to healthcare marketing buyers across
programmatic, print, broadcast, or digital channels • Healthcare
marketing consultants or fractional CMOs with active, current
relationships across health system marketing and strategy teams •
Association professionals with active leadership or membership in
SHSMD, the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development,
or similar organizations that serve healthcare marketing executives
• Healthcare technology or SaaS sales professionals whose primary
buyers were marketing, patient experience, or digital strategy
leaders rather than clinical or procurement staff Beyond
background, we are looking for: • A genuine network of healthcare
marketing decision makers who trust your judgment, take your calls,
and act on your recommendations • Sales orientation. You understand
the value of a qualified lead, you know the difference between a
conversation and an opportunity, and you track your pipeline with
discipline • A track record of opening doors and creating
opportunities for others, not just closing your own deals • Active
involvement in at least one healthcare marketing association or
industry organization • The patience to work a relationship driven
vertical. Healthcare buyers move deliberately and the right
candidate respects that pace • Strong professional presence. You
represent a premium, award winning brand in every conversation you
have • Self directed and fully comfortable operating in a remote
environment with no day to day supervision • An entrepreneurial
mindset. Someone who sees this as the moment to turn a career of
relationship building into meaningful, performance driven income
Why This Role Is Different If you have spent years in a quota
carrying sales role, you know what it feels like to own the entire
cycle: prospecting, presenting, negotiating, closing, and then
managing the account after the fact. This role asks you to do none
of that. You bring the relationship. You make the introduction. You
hand it off to our Director of Sales with full context and a warm
connection. We close it, deliver it, and retain it. Your commission
is paid at the point of conversion and it is tied directly to the
size of the relationship you opened. Not a flat rate. Not a token
referral fee. We pay people for what they actually contribute. You
hunt. You get paid for what you bring in. Then you go hunt again.
If you are at a point in your career where freedom, flexibility,
and performance driven income matter more than title and corporate
structure, this is worth a serious conversation. Compensation &
Benefits Base Salary: $65,000 to $80,000 annually (commensurate
with experience) Year 1 ramp: As you build your pipeline and
initial introductions begin converting, total compensation
typically lands between $90,000 and $130,000 Year 2 at full run
rate: With an established pipeline generating consistent new client
introductions, total compensation typically lands between $160,000
and $220,000 or more There is no ceiling. The commission structure
is uncapped and every new client relationship you open contributes
directly to your earnings from the moment the contract is signed.
Pipeline Targets and Ramp • Months 1 to 3: Network activation and
pipeline building. First qualified conversations and handoffs to
our sales team • Months 4 to 9: Pipeline converts. Target $750K to
$1M in new contracted revenue sourced through your introductions •
Year 1 total: Target $1M to $1.5M in closed revenue generated
through your pipeline • Full run rate: $3M or more in annual
pipeline contribution by Year 2 Benefits Health & Wellness Health
