About The Position

We're looking for a passionate and empathetic hustler to join us as a Business Development and Partnerships Associate. This is a Full-Time Hybrid opportunity based in Springfield, MA. You’ll be working to help bring care to real families. Your role is to share details of our mission with families and ensure our information reaches as many people as possible. You are a strategic BD operator who turns healthcare relationships into scalable referral channels—opening doors at health systems and winning trust with case managers to drive enrollments.

Requirements

• 2–5+ yrs healthcare BD/partnerships (PCPs, hospitals, CMAs, home health) with a proven referral-engine track record.
• Existing in-market ties to case managers/discharge planners and major provider groups; can show programs built from zero.
• Effortless relationship builder with strong communication, ROI storytelling, and objection handling skills.

• Own the referral pipeline. Map, penetrate, and expand priority channels across PCP groups, hospital systems, home health, and CMAs; turn warm intros into formal referral pathways with clear feedback loops.
• Building relationships with families. You will be responsible for engaging with families in the community by sharing information at events, resource fairs, meetups, and other gatherings. Your role is essential in ensuring more families have access to care.
• Enterprise pitching. Lead pitches to health system administrators and connectors in the local ecosystem, sharing program benefits and successes to close multi-location partnerships.
• Case manager ecosystem cracking. Build a trusted bench of case managers, social workers, and discharge planners; run consistent touch patterns, info sessions, and awareness initiatives to drive steady, high-quality referrals.
• Territory playbook. Create and iterate a repeatable GTM for the market (account lists, talk tracks, objection handling, etc.) and report weekly on funnel, conversion, and time-to-referral.
