Who We Are
Empowered Services is a one-on-one Attendant Care agency serving 200+ individuals with
intellectual and developmental disabilities across Oregon and we’re still growing. No group
homes, no facilities. Every caregiver works 1:1 in the person’s own home and community.

Our core values: Integrity, Empathy, Synergy, Community, Advocacy, and Legacy.

About the Role
We’re hiring a Community Partnerships & Growth Manager whose primary mission is building
the strategic relationships that grow our caregiver workforce, strengthen referral pipelines, and
connect IDD families with services.

outreach, referral development, community visibility, and long-term growth efforts across
Oregon’s IDD community. You’ll help grow both of Empowered’s core pipelines: customer
growth and workforce growth.

This role is approximately 60% strategic partnerships and growth, 40% outreach and events
execution. You’ll develop the leads; Intake and Recruitment help convert them into placements
and hires.

This role reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and is ideal for someone who can think
strategically, represent the agency with confidence, and execute with consistency.
