Regional Clinical Director

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 Bay Area clinics.
