About the Role: 

The Local Outreach & Business Development Representative is responsible for building Papa’s first dedicated referral channel for our direct-to-consumer (DTC) offering, starting in South Florida. This is a field role focused on developing referral partnerships with the organizations and professionals that influence senior decisions about in-home support: senior-specialized realtors and senior transitions specialists, physical therapy and rehab practices, faith-based organizations, aging-services NGOs and coalitions, primary care providers, independent living communities, local pharmacies, local senior-focused content creators and any other relevant referral partners this role brings to the table.

  • 10% Reporting and Strategy: Providing weekly insights to HQ, participating in internal syncs, and updating materials.

Being successful in this role requires comfort collaborating with seniors and senior-adjacent professionals, the ability to build trust quickly in a regulated environment, disciplined self-management, and a strong commitment to in-person engagement.

  • Funnel Analysis: Track referrals through the conversion funnel (lead $\rightarrow$ sign-up $\rightarrow$ activation $\rightarrow$ 30/60/90-day retention) by partner segment, and report on performance metrics.
  • Playbook Iteration: Continuously test and refine the local referral playbook based on market feedback. Regularly recommend adjustments to materials, pitches, and segment prioritization to HQ.
  • Collateral Customization: Tailor communication materials and messaging for distinct segments (realtors, healthcare, NGOs, etc.) and collaborate with HQ to refresh collateral as the strategy evolves.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Understand and adhere to local municipal rules regarding community outreach (e.g., solicitation restrictions, flyer distribution rules) and utilize compliant engagement tactics.
  • Event Representation: Plan and represent Papa at local industry events, expos, and partner-hosted gatherings.
  • Feedback Loop: Deliver weekly performance insights to HQ, identifying successful strategies and recommending adjustments.
  • Brand Ambassadorship: Serve as the local face of Papa, maintaining professional, consistent, and mission-aligned representation in the market.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
