Our platform supports a coordinated care plan with resources, HIPAA-compliant messaging, and integration with pediatric care teams, primarily monetized through Fee-for-Service (FFS) therapy revenues.

• Resource Distribution: Provide partners with developmental screening tools, educational resources, and clear referral guidelines to facilitate timely identification and referrals.
• Community Outreach: Participate in local health fairs, community events, and informational sessions to strengthen community presence and relationships.
• Feedback and Adaptation: Collect feedback from partners, address challenges, and work collaboratively to refine the referral and service processes for maximum efficiency.
• Collaborate with Internal Teams: Work closely with marketing, product, and technical teams to develop materials and systems that support partner engagement and make integration seamless.
• CRM Management: Track and document partner interactions and progress in the company CRM system, ensuring accurate reporting and follow-ups.

Who You Are:

• Experience: 3+ years in business development or partnership roles, preferably in pediatric healthcare, early childhood education, or community services.
