Marketing & Business Development Coordinator

Thrive Wellness + Aesthetics | Chicago, IL
Part-Time | In Person During Initial Training & Onboarding | Hybrid Eligibility After Successful Onboarding

Job Summary

Thrive Wellness + Aesthetics is seeking a creative, organized, tech-savvy and relationship-driven Marketing & Business Development Coordinator to help grow our physician-led wellness and aesthetics practice.

This is a hands-on growth role combining digital marketing, social media, CRM management, marketing automation, website management, email/SMS marketing, analytics, business development and community outreach.

You'll work directly with the Founder & Medical Director and have meaningful ownership of projects from idea through execution. We're looking for someone who can create great marketing but also understands the bigger objective: turning marketing and relationships into qualified leads, appointments, partnerships and revenue.

What You'll Do

Manage Thrive's social media and content calendar across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok, including content creation, campaign execution and performance tracking. Develop email and SMS campaigns, maintain our website and Google Business Profile, support SEO, and assist with photography and video content.

Manage our CRM, lead pipelines and marketing automations. Develop follow-up and lead-nurturing workflows, maintain organized audience segments, and track leads from inquiry through booking and conversion.

Use website, CRM and campaign analytics to evaluate performance, identify opportunities and recommend improvements. Help ensure our marketing efforts are measurable rather than focused solely on reach, likes and followers.

Develop relationships with Chicago employers, fitness studios, hotels, residential communities, healthcare professionals and other organizations. Support Thrive On Demand, corporate wellness opportunities, referral partnerships, networking events and community activations.

Because Thrive operates in healthcare, this position requires professionalism, discretion and appropriate handling of confidential and patient information in accordance with Thrive's HIPAA privacy and security policies.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with 2–3+ years of relevant experience in marketing, business development, communications, digital media or community outreach.

You should be highly organized, proactive and comfortable working independently. You should have hands-on experience with digital marketing and social media and familiarity with CRM systems, marketing automation, email/SMS platforms, website/CMS management and marketing analytics.

Strong writing, communication, project management and interpersonal skills are essential. You should also be comfortable networking, prospecting and developing professional relationships.

Experience in healthcare, wellness, fitness, hospitality, beauty or luxury services is preferred.

Experience with Canva, WordPress, Google Analytics, SEO, photography, video recording/editing, AI marketing tools and B2B outreach are strong pluses.

This Role Is a Strong Fit If You

You enjoy both the creative and analytical sides of marketing. You're comfortable learning technology, troubleshooting basic problems, analyzing results and improving systems.

You take ownership, follow projects through to completion and don't need every next step assigned.

You're also comfortable getting away from the computer—meeting people, attending events, making introductions, following up with prospects and developing relationships throughout Chicago.

This Role Is NOT for You If You

You're looking exclusively for a social media position, dislike learning new technology, struggle with deadlines or follow-through, are uncomfortable initiating business relationships, or need highly detailed instructions before taking action.

Compensation & Growth

$25–$28/hour | Approximately 20–25 hours per week

Additional opportunities include performance-based bonuses, commission on qualifying corporate partnerships and memberships, employee discounts and professional development.

Additional hours may become available as the position and practice grow. A high-performing Coordinator will have the opportunity to advance into a Marketing & Business Development Manager role as Thrive expands.

Success in this role means turning strong marketing, technology, data and relationships into measurable business growth.

Pay: $25.00 - $28.00 per hour

Expected hours: 20.0 – 30.0 per week

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
• Paid time off
• Professional development assistance
