Descrizione del lavoro

KenCrest is seeking an accomplished, forward-thinking Vice President of Business Development to lead enterprise growth strategy and help shape the organization’s next chapter. Reporting to the Chief of Staff, this executive leader will be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and advancing opportunities that expand KenCrest’s reach, strengthen strategic partnerships, diversify revenue, and position the organization for sustainable long-term growth. The VP will translate organizational strategy into a disciplined portfolio of opportunities spanning new markets and services, healthcare and government partnerships, referral relationships, contracts, affiliations, and potential acquisitions. This role calls for more than someone who can identify opportunities. We are looking for a leader who can determine which opportunities are worth pursuing, build the relationships and internal alignment necessary to move them forward, and turn strategy into measurable results. This is a highly visible, relationship-driven leadership role.

The VP will work from our Plymouth Meeting office a minimum of two days per week, with an anticipated three to four days onsite during the first 90 days to build relationships and develop a deep understanding of KenCrest’s operations, programs, and communities. Approximately 25% travel is expected across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut for program visits, partner meetings, community engagement, and business development activities, along with occasional out-of-state conferences and industry events. Success will require equal parts strategic vision, business acumen, relationship development, executive influence, and disciplined execution.

Some of What This Role Will Do:

• Develop and execute a multi-year business development and growth strategy aligned with KenCrest’s strategic priorities.
• Build and manage a disciplined pipeline of growth opportunities, with clear priorities, milestones, metrics, and measures of return.
• Identify and evaluate opportunities across new services, markets, strategic partnerships, referral channels, revenue streams, affiliations, and acquisitions.
• Cultivate high-value relationships with government agencies, healthcare systems, payers, funders, referral sources, community organizations, providers, and other strategic partners.
• Translate market intelligence, reimbursement trends, regulatory developments, competitor activity, and emerging needs into actionable growth strategies.
• Develop compelling business cases and financial analyses that allow executive leadership and the Board to make informed growth and investment decisions.
• Assess opportunities through a broad organizational lens, balancing financial sustainability, operational readiness, capacity, quality, risk, and mission.
• Partner across Operations, Finance, Quality, Innovation, Programs, Government Relations, Marketing, Philanthropy, and executive leadership to turn viable opportunities into executable plans.
• Lead and support complex proposals, presentations, negotiations, partnership agreements, and contracts that advance new business and strategic relationships.
• Evaluate potential affiliations and acquisitions, contributing to opportunity assessment, due diligence, executive recommendations, and planning.
• Represent KenCrest with key external stakeholders, strengthening the organization’s market presence and developing relationships that create long-term opportunity.
• Bring sound judgment and clear recommendations to executive leadership, including the confidence to challenge assumptions, redirect efforts, or recommend when an opportunity should not move forward.

Minimum Qualifications:
