We’re looking for an energetic, outgoing Referral Partner Manager to help us expand our referral network and strengthen relationships with healthcare and community partners in an assigned local territory. This is a true field-based relationship-building role . You’ll spend your time meeting people face-to-face, introducing Backpack’s services, educating referral partners, and re-engaging organizations that have gone quiet. And we make it easy: your weekly stops, contacts, addresses, and driving routes are planned for you in advance. You focus on building relationships—we’ll handle the logistics. What Your Week Looks Like This role follows a predictable weekly schedule: 3 field days per week: Approximately 4–6 hours/day visiting referral partners 1 designated report day: Approximately 1–2 hours for your weekly results report and manager check-in Total: Approximately 19–20 hours/week Schedule: Consistent weekday availability required Availability: Monday–Friday, generally between 9:30 AM–12:00 PM and 1:00–3:00 PM You’ll receive your itinerary and route at the beginning of each week, including stops, addresses, and contacts.

Simply dropping off materials does not count as a meaningful visit. Documentation Matters This role is designed to create a reliable, trackable referral pipeline. Every meaningful visit must be documented in HubSpot the same day. You’ll capture key details such as: Who you met The organization/account Whether the account is new, active, inactive, or reactivated What you discussed Feedback or anticipated referral activity Next steps Marketing-material drop-offs are still encouraged and may contribute to performance incentives when they generate a new referral partner.
