Entry-Level Business Development Associate
COEM Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Charleston, SC, United States
Functional Medicine + Premium Wellness Retail | Charleston, SC
About Us
We’re building a next-generation wellness destination that blends
functional medicine, advanced lab testing, IV therapy, and a premium vitamin/supplement retail experience —all under one roof.
Our mission is simple: help people take control of their health with
data-driven care, high-quality supplements, and real human guidance .
We’re growing quickly and looking for someone who wants to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up.
The Role This is
not a sit-behind-a-desk job .
As a Business Development Associate, you’ll be out in the community—meeting people, building relationships, and introducing local businesses to what we do.
But just as important—you’ll help
create the materials and messaging
that open those doors.
You won’t just hand out flyers. You’ll help design
what goes on them, how they’re positioned, and how they’re used in real conversations .
Think of this role as
part relationship builder, part brand ambassador, part creative marketer .
What You’ll Actually Do:
Prospect and visit
40 plus local businesses per week
(gyms, med spas, offices, wellness centers, etc.)
Introduce our brand in a professional, engaging way
Educate business owners and staff on our services:
Functional medicine care
Advanced lab testing
IV therapy
Premium supplements
Peptides
Create and refine marketing materials , including:
One-pagers and leave-behinds
Partnership decks
Flyers and promotional offers
Simple presentations or digital materials
Test different messaging and offers in the field and
iterate based on real feedback
Identify partnership opportunities (referrals, events, collaborations)
Track outreach and follow-ups
Provide insight into what messaging is working—and what isn’t
Help shape how we grow in the Charleston market
Who This Is Perfect For:
You’re likely a strong fit if you are early in your career.
Have a
college degree
(business, marketing, health, or related field preferred).
Are comfortable both
talking to people and creating content.
Can walk into a business and start a conversation without hesitation.
Have a good eye for
design, messaging, and branding.
Want to build real-world skills in
sales, marketing, and business development.
Have an interest in
health, fitness, wellness, or functional medicine.
Prefer being
out in the field vs. stuck at a desk.
Are proactive, creative, and solutions-oriented.
What You’ll Learn: This role is designed as a
launchpad . You’ll gain experience in:
Relationship development.
Real-world marketing (not just theory—what actually converts).
Messaging, positioning, and offer creation.
Healthcare + wellness industry dynamics.
How to build and scale a brand from the ground up.
Compensation:
Base hourly (competitive for entry-level).
Potential for Performance-based bonuses tied to outreach and partnerships.
Growth path into senior business development, marketing, or management roles.
Why This Role Stands Out:
You’re not just executing—you’re
helping create the strategy and materials
You’ll see immediate feedback on what works in real-world settings
You’re not selling a commodity—you’re introducing people to
better health
You’ll gain experience across
healthcare + retail + marketing
(rare combination)
You’ll build a strong network across Charleston’s wellness and business community
This is a Monday - Friday position. Non-smokers only. Prior experience even in an educational setting preferred.
