Referral Partnerships Manager

Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care. We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is to shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians. We've raised over $14M in funding and are building for long-term category leadership while serving hundreds of patients and growing 30% month-over-month.

About the role

As a Referral Partnerships Manager, your primary goal will be to grow patient referrals to Alpaca Health by establishing and nurturing relationships with healthcare provider partners, including primary care physicians, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals who refer their patients to us for ABA therapy or autism diagnosis.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on relationship-building, understands the importance of trust in healthcare referrals, and has the energy to be out in the community most of the week. You will be the face of Alpaca Health in the field—building, nurturing, and expanding referral relationships with physicians, diagnosticians, schools, and community organizations to ensure a steady pipeline of well-matched client referrals for our partner providers.

• Use data to guide where you spend time and how you deepen relationships.
• Engage partners creatively through events, drop-ins, content, and personalized outreach.
• Take ownership of your market and turn relationships into sustained referral growth.

Qualifications
