Community Partnerships Manager

Our Vision: Constella Care supports people with serious mental illness by providing comprehensive care and connecting them to the right resources at each stage of their journey. At Constella, we believe that everyone living with a serious mental illness deserves the opportunity to progress toward a healthier, more stable life. Our mission is to transform care for people with serious mental illness by engaging them where they are, providing comprehensive and innovative treatment plans, and connecting patients to expansive community resources for longitudinal support. If you're inspired by our mission to connect the dots of complex care to improve life for people living with serious mental illness, we'd love for you to join us. Together, we can make a difference, starting with this role. What You'll Own: Build Constella's referral and partnership network across Kentucky from scratch, including hospital systems, FQHCs, Community Mental Health Centers, crisis stabilization units, and inpatient psychiatric facilities Develop relationships with community-based organizations that touch our members every day: shelters, food banks, housing programs, recovery communities, faith-based organizations, and social service agencies Serve as Constella's primary point of contact for external partners in the market. You're the person they call when they have a member who needs help, and the person who makes sure that warm handoff actually works. Design and run a repeatable partnership motion: target list, outreach, first meeting, pilot, formal agreement, and ongoing relationship management. You use data to build a target list and execute against it diligently Work hand-in-hand with our Community Health Workers and clinical team to turn partnerships into real referral flow and real wraparound support for members Track partnership performance (referrals in, successful engagements, closed-loop feedback to partners) and iterate on what's working Represent Constella at local behavioral health coalitions, provider meetings, and community events.
