Brightline is redefining what behavioral health care looks like for children and families—and we're looking for a growth leader who can help bring our model to more families through transformative public-sector partnerships.

We're seeking a Vice President of Public Sector Growth to lead Brightline's public-sector expansion strategy nationwide. This leader will be responsible for sourcing, developing, and securing new public-sector revenue opportunities across state agencies, Medicaid programs, counties, school systems, and other government entities seeking innovative solutions to address the youth behavioral health crisis.

Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Growth, the Vice President of Public Sector Growth will own the public-sector growth strategy from opportunity identification through contract award and ongoing expansion. This leader will build and manage a robust pipeline of public-sector opportunities, leading complex pursuits from initial market intelligence and stakeholder engagement through procurement, negotiation, contract execution, and implementation handoff.

Success will require the ability to independently originate opportunities, lead complex pursuits, and coordinate a network of internal and external stakeholders—including government affairs consultants, lobbyists, policy advisors, and cross-functional Brightline leaders—to drive successful outcomes.

This role is expected to function as a hands-on business development leader who personally drives opportunity creation, pursuit strategy, and contract conversion while leveraging a network of internal partners and external advisors rather than a large, dedicated team.

The ideal candidate combines deep public-sector healthcare expertise with strong business development instincts, exceptional relationship-building capabilities, and a demonstrated track record of independently originating opportunities and converting them into long-term partnerships. This is not solely a government affairs or account management role—it is a growth leadership role accountable for generating and winning new business.

Why This Role

Brightline is uniquely positioned to partner with public-sector stakeholders seeking scalable, measurable solutions to improve youth mental health access and outcomes.

This role offers the opportunity to influence how states, counties, and public agencies address one of the most pressing healthcare challenges facing children and families today.

As Brightline continues to expand its public-sector footprint, this leader will play a critical role in defining where we grow, how we engage government stakeholders, and how we build sustainable partnerships that improve outcomes for families while creating long-term enterprise value.

Success in this role will be measured by the ability to originate and convert new public-sector partnerships, expand Brightline's presence within existing government relationships, and build a durable multi-year pipeline of contracted revenue.
