About Avesta Ketamine & Wellness

Avesta Ketamine & Wellness is a leading provider of ketamine-assisted therapy, offering evidence-based treatment for mood disorders, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant conditions. With multiple locations across the DMV, we deliver compassionate, patient-centered care that helps people reclaim their quality of life.

About the Role

As a Provider Partnerships Liaison, you will grow Avesta's referral network across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC by building strong partnerships with mental health and healthcare providers and their teams. This is a field-based sales role focused on driving patient referrals to Avesta through relationship-building, strategic territory growth, and consistent in-person engagement.

You will spend most of your working hours in the field meeting with psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, primary care physicians, pain specialists, office managers, and practice administrators. Your job is to build trust, grow referral volume, and help more patients access ketamine-assisted therapy for mood disorders, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant conditions.

This role combines relationship-building, new business development, and long-term account growth. Success comes from creating strong relationships, keeping momentum with existing referral partners, and consistently growing your territory over time.

This is a part-time role (20 to 30 hours per week) that reports directly to the CEO and works closely with executive leadership. It is a strong fit for someone who wants to own a territory and see the direct impact of their work in a growing mental health practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and grow a provider referral territory across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC
• Spend the majority of your weekly hours in the field meeting with providers and their office staff

• Represent Avesta at professional meetings, conferences, community events, and webinars
• Drive toward monthly referral goals and performance targets
• Manage your territory like it is your own business, balancing new partner development with long-term account growth
• Track activity, pipeline, and referral performance in HubSpot, our customer relationship management (CRM) system
