Director of Healthcare Partnerships

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.
