YOUR ROLE

The Affinity Partner Manager is the face of CareScout to our valued referral partners. You will be responsible for managing Affinity partner relationships and overseeing solution implementation. The Affinity Partner Manager is skilled in listening to what a Partner values, applying technical, operational, and product expertise to the unique situation, leveraging modular capabilities to support operational scale, and problem solving when gaps arise in the model.
Critical to the role is to ensure that Partners have a seamless experience throughout the business development cycle through to full adoption. You will perform the following key activities: business development activities, managing Partner relationships, representing CareScout and CareScout’s products, leading Partner calls, managing the onboarding of a Partner, confidently presenting to internal leadership or Partner stakeholders, managing timelines and program tracking, creating and tracking KPI’s, reporting and program insights.
As a team member, you will be interacting with people across CareScout. You will be required to be collaborative, decisive, and someone people look forward to working with. You have the temperament to think through the tradeoffs between needs of the Partner and internal priorities. You are an “athlete” across the organization and can work independently to make things happen.

• Provide training and support to Partners during the onboarding process and throughout.
• Work with Marketing to develop and support Partners in co-creating and providing collateral for requisite campaigns to end customers
• Continuously evaluate and improve the implementation process to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
• Present to internal leadership or Partner groups ​

What you bring

• 5+ years of experience in business development, Partnership management, product implementation, or related roles
• Experience working for platform technology companies as a plus
