Partnership Development Manager (Hudson Valley Region)

About the role

Ophelia Health is seeking a full-time Partnerships Manager to initiate and develop strong, lasting relationships with community partners to support patients with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Responsibilities

• New Partnership Acquisition: Own the full partnership lifecycle: proactively identify, prospect, and pitch Ophelia to new referral sources. Manage a high-volume pipeline, moving organizations from 'cold outreach' to 'active partners' with persistence.
• Strategic Relationship Management: Nurture and scale existing partnerships. Ensure partners remain clinically and philosophically aligned with Ophelia’s mission, turning local organizations into long-term, sustainable advocates for our patients.
• Data & CRM Management: Utilize CRM tools (like Salesforce or HubSpot) to track activity, conversion rates from referral to patient, and ROI on partnership outreach. Uncover insights into your own performance, including analyzing which partner types yield the highest patient conversion and adjusting your weekly strategy accordingly.
• Community Engagement: Spend the majority of your time in the field, meeting with healthcare providers, community leaders, patient advocates, and others to identify needs, remove barriers to treatment, and solidify Ophelia’s presence.
• Feedback Integration: Collect and analyze feedback from community partners to refine Ophelia’s referral strategies and products. Help develop and build solutions for existing referral barriers.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with Ophelia’s marketing, commercial, clinical, product, and operations teams to achieve outreach and market penetration goals.
