Partnership Development Manager

Groups Recover Together is an outpatient addiction medicine provider that delivers comprehensive outpatient treatment for opioid addiction. Based on the principle that recovery is tied to aspects of life that are beyond the reach of an office visit, our care model includes three core modalities that are proven to help individuals get their lives back on track -- medication, weekly group therapy, and care navigation.  We pride ourselves in providing high quality clinical treatment and team-based support needed to build a life worth living sober.

At Groups, the Partnership Development Manager serves as a critical leader within our Growth Organization. We believe everyone deserves access to life-saving treatment. As we integrate Better Life Partners into the Groups family, we're expanding our Partnership Development team to ensure communities continue receiving exceptional access to care throughout New Hampshire.
