Partnerships & Business Development Lead at SallySupport in Home Based

This is a remote position.

About SallySupport

SallySupport helps U.S.-based home care organisations build dedicated remote administrative teams that become an extension of their daily operations.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a proactive and commercially minded Partnerships & Business Development Lead to expand our industry relationships, develop strategic partnerships, and identify new business opportunities.

About the Role

This position combines strategic partnerships, relationship management, and business development.

We're looking for someone who enjoys connecting with people, identifying opportunities, and building relationships that lead to meaningful business outcomes.

Working closely with our leadership team, you'll identify prospective partners and clients, initiate conversations, nurture relationships, and help create new opportunities for SallySupport.

This is not a traditional high-volume sales role. Our focus is on targeted outreach, meaningful conversations, strategic partnerships, and sustainable business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop strategic partnership opportunities within the home care and related industries.
  
  

• Build and maintain professional relationships with industry leaders, organisations, and prospective clients.
  
  

• Research potential business partners, referral sources, and strategic accounts.
  
  

• Conduct targeted outbound outreach through email, LinkedIn, and other professional channels.
  
  

• Initiate conversations with prospective partners and decision-makers.
  
  

• Develop referral and channel partnerships that support business growth.
  
  

• Identify opportunities to increase SallySupport's visibility and presence within the industry.
  
  

• Maintain consistent follow-up with prospective clients and partners.
  
  

• Represent SallySupport professionally during meetings and business discussions.
  
  

• Collaborate with leadership to identify and pursue high-value business opportunities.
  
  

• Maintain an organised pipeline of prospective clients, partnerships, and commercial opportunities.
  
  

• Support the progression of qualified opportunities from initial engagement toward a commercial relationship.
  
  

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is measured by the quality of relationships developed and the business opportunities created, rather than simply the number of calls or meetings completed.

You'll contribute to SallySupport's growth by:

• Establishing valuable long-term industry relationships.
  
  

• Developing strategic and referral partnerships.
  
  

• Generating qualified business opportunities.
  
  

• Expanding our professional network and industry presence.
  
  

• Building a consistent pipeline of potential clients.
  
  

• Contributing to sustainable, long-term business growth.
  
  

Why Join SallySupport?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an important growth function within a developing organisation.

You'll work directly with company leadership, contribute to shaping our partnerships and business development strategy, and build relationships that have a meaningful impact on the company's future.

As the role develops, there may also be opportunities to explore performance-based incentives linked to business development outcomes.
