Business Development and Client Acquisition Specialist

Description

WardShift is seeking a motivated Business Development and Client Acquisition Specialist focused on growing our presence in the United States healthcare market. This remote, part-time position plays a vital role in connecting with independent private medical practices and specialist physicians to drive qualified lead generation and client acquisition efforts. You will research target markets, personalize outreach, and establish meaningful connections with practice owners, physicians, and healthcare decision-makers to build a strong pipeline for WardShift's growth services. This role requires someone with experience in B2B sales development, appointment setting, and client acquisition within the healthcare or private practice space. Comfortable independently managing outreach workflows using LinkedIn, cold email, and CRM tools, you will contribute directly to refining and scaling WardShift's client acquisition system. The ideal candidate has at least three years of relevant experience and demonstrates excellent written communication skills, strong organizational ability, and familiarity with US healthcare markets and specialties such as dermatology, orthopedics, and cardiology.

Responsibilities

• Research and identify independent private medical practices and key decision-makers in US target markets based on specialty, location, and practice size.
• Build detailed and targeted prospect lists focusing on visible growth opportunities such as weak local SEO, outdated websites, or poor patient enquiry flows.
• Initiate professional and personalized outreach campaigns using LinkedIn, email, and other B2B communication channels to spark interest and build trust.
• Qualify leads by assessing practice needs and potential fit, and schedule discovery meetings with practice owners, physicians, and managers.
• Maintain consistent and professional follow-up schedules without spamming to nurture prospects through the sales funnel.
• Monitor and track outreach activity metrics including response rates, appointments booked, and overall pipeline health.
• Test and optimize messaging, outreach offers, and engagement strategies, providing feedback and reports to the founder.
• Collaborate closely with the founder to continuously improve WardShift’s client acquisition processes and growth strategies.
• Leverage healthcare industry knowledge, medical marketing insights, and understanding of local SEO to better tailor outreach efforts.
• Maintain thorough records of all client interactions and support the development of robust CRM workflows to enable scalable acquisition.
• Work autonomously with a disciplined approach suited for remote environments, ensuring deadlines and goals are met consistently.
• Focus primarily on priority US healthcare specialties including Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Orthopedics, and other targeted practice areas.
