Alder is New England’s leading aging life care practice, supporting older adults and their families through complex aging, health, and care decisions. With more than 30 years of experience, Alder partners closely with healthcare providers, senior living communities, and trusted professionals to ensure patients and families receive the right support at the right time.

As Alder continues to grow, we are deepening our relationships across the clinical ecosystem—where transitions of care happen and where families often need help the most.

The Role:

We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to expand Alder’s referral presence across hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and select physician practices in New England.

This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in healthcare business development or provider relations who understands how referrals actually flow in clinical environments. You’ll focus on building practical, trusted relationships with both frontline and leadership teams—and translating those relationships into consistent, appropriate referrals to Alder.

You’ll work closely with a Senior Business Development Lead who owns strategic partnerships, while you focus on the clinical channels that require day-to-day presence, education, and follow-through. This is a field-based role with real ownership and a direct impact on Alder’s growth in New England.

Responsibilities:

Build relationships with hospital, SNF and rehab partners

• Manage outreach and ongoing engagement with hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, inpatient rehab, and sub-acute providers
• Establish Alder as a trusted post-discharge and care navigation partner.

Engage home health and VNA leadership

• Build referral pathways with home health agencies, visiting nurse associations, and outpatient therapy providers.
• Position Alder as a complementary partner—not a competitor—in supporting complex patients and families.

Develop physician referral pathways

• Build relationships with select physician specialties (e.g., primary care, geriatrics, neurology) where care coordination needs are high.
• Clearly communicate Alder’s role, referral criteria, and value to both clinicians and office staff.

Represent Alder in the community

• Attend relevant clinical meetings, in-services, and local events.
• Serve as a credible, professional representative of Alder’s clinical and service standards.

Track activity and results

• Document partner interactions, referrals, and follow-ups in HubSpot.
• Share insights on referral trends, barriers, and opportunities with the broader growth team.

Required skills / experiences:

• 3–7 years of experience in healthcare business development, provider relations, clinical partnerships, or referral-based roles.
• Background in home healthcare, visiting nurse services, outpatient PT, rehab, or related clinical settings strongly preferred.
• Comfort operating in clinical environments and speaking with both frontline staff and leadership.
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working independently in the field.
• Strong communication skills with a practical, relationship-first approach.
• Mission-driven mindset and interest in improving care transitions for older adults and families.
