Field Growth Manager
Gather Health
Who is Gather Health?
Gather Health is a collective of outreach partners, care partners, clinicians and, most importantly, patient partners who work together to reshape lives and communities. We bring hands-on social and medical care to our patients and work around their needs, both within our care facilities and in their homes. We work alongside local leaders to build communities and provide tailored care experiences that serve the seniors that live within them. When we Gather, we show love, compassion, community, and care.
What is the “Field Growth Manager” job about?
The Field Growth Manager will supervise, direct, motivate, and inspire a team of people that we internally call “Outreach Partners”. The Outreach Partners (OPs) are responsible for developing relationships with key stakeholders and organizations within their assigned community territory to create patient acquisition opportunities. They engage prospective patients to provide education about Gather Health’s unique social primary care model and services via various methods and strategies such as planning/facilitating community events, networking with relevant organizations and community groups, making telephonic and in-person “connects” with prospective patients with the goal of enrollment. This is a “player-coach” role – they will lead by example, model the right behavior for the team, while providing the necessary resources, tools, and motivation for the team members to achieve their short and long-term performance goals. The success of the community outreach department will directly translate to these patients’ ability to access the care that they deserve – the highest quality of medical care that is delivered with compassion, as well as social and community resources that are vital for improving the quality of their lives.
What are some of the day-to-day duties?
- Directly supervise a team of Outreach Partners and provide daily and long-term direction and leadership support
- Work closely with the team to develop strategies with regards to lead generation, lead follow-up, event planning and execution, and relationship management
- Actively participate in the selection process of new hires by conducting both virtual and in-person interviews and reference checks
- Provide tactical training for new hires as well as existing team members and ensure their short and long-term success
- Serve as the liaison between the Vice President of Growth and the OP team to ensure transparent communication cascade
- Partner with multiple internal departments and colleagues, i.e., Talent Acquisition, finance, and members of senior leadership
- Serve as a community ambassador and develop relationships and form partners with relevant external entities such as political groups, community-based organizations, and other potential programs serving the senior population
- Assume responsibility for the team’s performance, measured via metrics and quantifiable goals tracked in CRM
So, is this considered a “sales” role?
This is a pay-for-performance role - meaning, you and your team are compensated based on the number of patients you “acquire”. So yes - when you are educating the prospective patients about the Gather Health model and services, you are essentially “selling” our concept. But here’s how this role differs from most traditional sales jobs that entail convincing/persuading a business or consumer to purchase a product or service in exchange for a fee. In the OP role here at Gather Health, you would be introducing a unique concept and services that are designed to not only produce significantly better clinical outcomes for these vulnerable patients but can also help reduce their total medical costs in the long run. We do this by focusing on quality instead of quantity, while also keeping in mind the non-clinical factors that negatively impact these seniors’ overall health such as depression, isolation, loneliness, and general lack of resources and support within their communities. This is not a “sales” role that involves pitching products or services that the customer doesn’t need or can’t afford. You would be providing them with the opportunity to improve the quality of their lives in a meaningful way. When one truly believes in what they’re “selling” and is passionate about the mission and vision, we believe that it will result in a fulfilling employment experience for them.
