About TMGThe Matchstick Group is a medical device marketing agency. It's all we do. We partner with venture-backed startups, PE carve-outs, and global manufacturers to build the brands, launch the products, and tell the stories that move medtech forward — across orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, women's health, capital equipment, and OEM. Our proprietary methodologies — STRIKE™ (brand naming), LAUNCH™ (brand transformation), and SIGNAL™ (portfolio communication architecture) — power some of the most strategically demanding engagements in the industry.
The RoleWe're hiring an Account Director to own senior client relationships across our growing portfolio. You'll be the strategic counterpart to C-suite and VP-level medtech leaders, the connective tissue between clients and our strategy, creative, and digital teams, and the quality gatekeeper who ensures every deliverable we put in front of a client is on-strategy, on-brand, and flawless.
