About Us
Natural Heart Doctor was founded by cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson and is built around the 100 Year Heart Method: finding the root causes of heart disease through advanced testing, nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted support, with medications as a last resort rather than a first one. Our Scottsdale clinic offers in-person visits with holistic practitioners along with advanced testing and IV therapy. We also serve patients and customers nationwide through virtual consults and our online shop. That side of the business already has its own marketing team.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a self-directed local marketing and event contractor to build awareness of the Scottsdale clinic and bring new in-person patients through the door. You'll plan and run events, build partnerships across the Valley's health and wellness community, and generate local referrals and appointments. This is a results-focused role for someone who knows the Scottsdale/Phoenix community and enjoys getting out and meeting people.
What You'll Do
- Plan, promote, and run in-person events such as heart health talks, workshops, cooking or nutrition demos, community health nights, and open houses at the clinic
- Find and book speaking opportunities, health fairs, expos, farmers markets, and wellness festivals in the Valley
- Build and maintain referral relationships with complementary local businesses and practitioners (gyms, studios, dentists, chiropractors, wellness centers, health food stores, senior communities, and corporate wellness programs)
- Pursue local media, podcast, and community publication opportunities in coordination with our existing media team
- Create content and manage the local office social media pages
- Create simple local promotional materials (flyers, event listings, partner kits) or manage the vendors who produce them
- Support local online visibility, including event listings, local business directories, and Google Business Profile activity, in coordination with our team
- Track results (event attendance, leads, booked appointments, partner referrals) and report monthly on what's working and what to change
- Represent the practice professionally and consistently with our brand and mission
What We're Looking For
Required
- Proven experience in local marketing, event planning, community outreach, or business development, ideally for a healthcare, wellness, or service-based business
- An established network in Scottsdale/Phoenix, or a demonstrated ability to build one quickly
- Strong communication skills, comfortable pitching to business owners and speaking with the public
- Organized and self-motivated, able to manage multiple projects without day-to-day supervision
- Reliable transportation and flexibility for evening and weekend events
Preferred
- Experience in integrative, functional, naturopathic, or holistic health, or genuine interest in natural health
- Experience marketing a medical or wellness practice, including familiarity with healthcare advertising rules
- Track record of events that produced measurable new customers or patients
- Basic design and social media skills
Compensation
- Hourly rate: $30–$35 an hour, capped at about 15 hours a week
- Event bonus: $150 per event that reaches its attendance goal (goal set in writing before each event)
- New-patient bonus: $25 per new-patient appointment booked from an event or partner referral
- Expenses: Approved event expenses are reimbursed separately
Compliance Expectations
Because we're a medical practice that also sells supplements, all marketing must follow patient privacy requirements (HIPAA), applicable advertising rules, and our FDA disclaimer guidelines. No patient information or testimonials may be used without our written approval, and all materials and claims must be reviewed by us before they go out. We'll provide guidance on approved messaging.
