Job description

Wheelhouse DMG is a sought-after digital marketing agency that has worked with some of the world’s most innovative healthcare, medical device, and privacy-first brands for more than a decade. We consistently deliver exceptional business value through a combination of deep marketing expertise, purpose-built technology, and creative capabilities. As platform automation and privacy regulations disrupt traditional marketing initiatives, much of our work focuses on helping healthcare and MedTech organizations drive performance in a first-party data world.

Examples of our work include:

• Unlocking performance for a medical device client by employing sophisticated first-party data strategies
• Developing and implementing HIPAA-compliant data strategies for healthcare and MedTech clients
• Reimagining the appointment booking experience to create exponential growth for one of the largest healthcare systems in the U.S.
• Leading strategy for the consolidation of 2.5 million web pages on 39 NASA websites into a single, unified information architecture and content strategy for NASA’s Science Directorate

We are seeking an organized and personable Business Development Representative to join Wheelhouse and partner with our Growth Manager. Our marketing and brand awareness efforts generate a steady flow of inbound interest from healthcare, MedTech, and privacy first organizations. The BDR nurtures those relationships, learning each prospect’s business needs and where Wheelhouse might be a fit. Your first priority is to be a helpful steward who leaves a positive first impression of Wheelhouse. When the timing is right, you’ll introduce them to our Growth Manager.

You are organized and persistent, and you follow up consistently without being pushy. You know the difference between being helpful and selling, and your outreach reads like it was written for the person receiving it. You are comfortable starting conversations at a trade show booth and just as comfortable working a pipeline in a CRM. You understand that professional services are chosen on trust and expertise, built over time.

About You

You know digital marketing from every angle. You've earned a reputation as a T‑shaped marketer, someone with deep expertise in your core discipline and the range to connect it to every other piece of the puzzle. You’re always looking for the link between a tactic and the business goal it’s meant to serve, and that focus on performance shows up in the results you deliver. You’d rather enable your teammates than direct them. You thrive in collaborative work, the kind that fills up a whiteboard during a good brainstorm, and you listen closely for ways to help clients succeed, whether that’s a new tactic worth testing, a piece of work worth proposing, or a better way to collaborate. You bring real emotional intelligence to the table, especially when it comes to delivering feedback with care. You're helpful, generous, and empathetic, and you find real joy in helping others succeed. Wheelhouse's values aren't aspirational for you; they’re already how you work. There’s no room for cynicism here, and you wouldn't want there to be.
