At Wellist, we help employers support their people through every life moment—while ensuring HR and benefits leaders get maximum value from their investments.

The Business Development Representative - Community Resource Directory is an individual contributor role for someone who thrives on high-volume outbound outreach, relationship building, and tangible results. This role is ideal for a proven BDR or sales professional who wants ownership, impact, and variety.

Your mission: proactively source, secure, and verify high-impact local businesses and national discounts that materially improve the Wellist user experience.

• Manage the entire outreach process: from search through outreach, qualification, to successfully published
• Value tracking of discount amounts to quantify savings for our users
