Regional Clinical Director

Back to jobsRegional Clinical DirectorNorthern (Bay Area) or Southern California Join our Talent Network The Problem Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for. What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve. We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology. Who We Are Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems. Leading health systems collaborate with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health. Our investors include health systems such as Cedars-Sinai and CommonSpirit Health, organizations that evaluated our model clinically and chose to back it. The Role As we grow our California footprint, we are hiring a Regional Clinical Director to serve as the senior clinical leader across sites in Amae's Northern or Southern California regions. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of clinical excellence, people leadership, and operational accountability. You will own the clinical outcomes across your sites, provide direct supervision and support to clinical staff, and serve as the primary escalation point for complex clinical situations. You will also be a meaningful voice in how we continuously improve our programs — identifying process gaps, strengthening team practice, and holding sites accountable to the outcomes that matter for our members. This role is for someone who is equally comfortable in a supervision session with a new therapist and in a leadership meeting translating clinical data into action. You lead through presence, clarity, and accountability. This role requires regular travel between the Southern California or Bay Area clinics.  What You Will Do Clinical Oversight & Outcomes Own clinical quality across California sites, including PHP and IOP programs Monitor and drive performance against clinical KPIs — outcomes, level-of-care transitions, treatment plan quality, documentation compliance, and member engagement Serve as the senior clinical escalation point for complex cases, safety situations, and clinician judgment calls Ensure consistent application of evidence-based practices across sites, in line with Amae's clinical model Collaborate with the psychiatry lead and multidisciplinary team to maintain high standards of integrated care People Leadership & Supervision Provide individual and group clinical supervision to licensed and pre-licensed clinicians in accordance with California BBS requirements and Amae standards Develop clinicians through regular feedback, coaching, and clear performance expectations Lead hiring efforts for clinical roles in the region in partnership with the GM and HR Model and reinforce a culture of psychological safety, accountability, and continuous learning Strategy & Program Improvement Partner with the GM to identify operational and clinical gaps across sites and develop targeted improvement plans Lead and...
