Careers
When you join the Ellenhorn team, you become part of the nation’s most robust community-integration program.
Being a part of Ellenhorn
Community-integration programs help those who are receiving psychiatric services maintain their social roles in the real world and remain connected to nourishing social networks and communities. Rather than separating people from vibrant community resources, such programs support clients in staying focused and believing in their own productive, fulfilling futures while receiving help.
Ellenhorn provides an effective alternative to care that removes people from the community and uses the most researched and evidence-based best-practice model for people who experience psychiatric events. The model we use is called a Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT). The success of the PACT model was a driving force in the development of community-integration programs, and remains the gold standard in this kind of care.
You can feel the power of hope at Ellenhorn. We bring in the best people, and we’re all part of a dedicated, committed group focused on a common goal. We embrace outstanding talent with diverse backgrounds and perspectives and foster a work environment where all employees feel empowered to do their best work. We take our jobs seriously, treat each other with respect and integrity, and learn and grow in our careers.
Ellenhorn offers competitive salaries. Our benefit offerings include Medical, Dental and Vision coverage, Life Insurance, Disability (Short & Long-Term) Insurance, 401(k), a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, Flexible Spending Accounts, and more.

Partnership Manager (Los Angeles, CA)
Position Summary:
The Partnership Manager is responsible for the growth of two programs that challenge the status quo in mental health care: Ellenhorn, with a two-decade legacy of psychosocial recovery, and Accord, the country’s first residential program rooted in metabolic psychiatry. Both exist to serve individuals who are not helped by conventional models of treatment and who seek something more comprehensive and person-centered.
We’re looking for someone who can strategically design outreach plans, understands how to adapt messaging by audience, brings a consultative approach to relationship-building, and gathers insights from the field to guide program positioning and future marketing efforts. This role requires B2B relationship-building, as our success depends on being remembered, trusted, and understood by professionals who may only encounter the “right” client a few times a year. The work is both strategic and relational as it requires someone who sees the value in long-cycle influence and who knows how to turn a conversation into a connection, and a connection into consistent consideration.
Ellenhorn’s culture is deeply rooted in purpose. We do this work because we believe in human dignity, the healing power of community, and the need to challenge outdated models of care. On the marketing team, we work with a high degree of independence, while staying closely connected to shared goals. It is important that everyone understands how their contributions support the bigger picture, thanks to clear structure, transparency, and regular collaboration.
Salary Range: Min $90,000 | Mid $100,000 | Max $110,000
Core Responsibilities
- Design and implement a living routing plan for your assigned territory, which includes conducting approximately 10 meetings per week to build new referral relationships, strengthen existing partnerships, and re-engage dormant accounts.
- Identify and cultivate relationships with high-potential referral sources including consultants, case managers, hospitals, and treatment programs, as well as non-clinical advisors such as attorneys, EAPs, and wealth managers.
- Host and seek out 8 to 12 creative, values-aligned small events per year, such as panels, webinars, roundtables, and industry events hosted by others, that elevate the programs’ thought leadership and keep us top of mind.
- Gather and communicate insights from the field to inform marketing strategy, messaging, and program positioning in regular collaboration with marketing leadership.
- Maintain the company’s CRM (Quickbase) and a calendar of events on Monday.
- Partner with the admissions team to qualify leads and ensure continuity between outreach to intake.
- Respond to referent inquiries with professionalism and urgency.
- Maintain strong fluency in Ellenhorn’s and Accord’s philosophies and services.
What Success Looks Like
Based on 2025 program capacity and conversion rates, our team estimates that reaching annual admit goals will require approximately 50-60 professional referrals per month across all programs. While this is not a strict quota, it does serve as a performance benchmark to help gauge the efficacy of outreach efforts.
Requirements & Qualifications
- More than five years of experience in business development within mental health settings.
- Ability to travel at least three overnight trips per month for in-person meetings and events.
- Ability to learn new software platforms, such as Quickbase and Monday.com
- Attend up to two weekly in-person clinical meetings and engage with programming at your home office.
