• Create policies and systems to verify implementation and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Build the tools that allow Bierman to proactively monitor safety performance across the organization.
• Develop engaging, practical training that helps every team member understand their role in protecting clients.
• Serve as a key leader when significant safety events occur. Coordinate cross-functional responses by partnering with Clinical Leadership, Operations, Human Resources, Facilities, and Compliance.
• Support center leaders with implementation coaching.

Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of leadership experience in healthcare, pediatric services, behavioral health, ABA, quality management, risk management, patient safety, or related operational environments.
• Experience designing and implementing enterprise-wide policies, standards, operational systems, or risk management programs.
• Experience leading incident management, investigations, root cause analyses, or corrective action planning.
• Strong knowledge of child safety, risk management, regulatory expectations, and operational best practices.
• Demonstrated success building scalable systems across multi-site organizations.
• Strong analytical skills with experience using data to identify trends, monitor performance, and drive improvement.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills with the ability to influence leaders across departments.
• A systems-oriented mindset balanced with strong operational execution.
• Sound judgment, professionalism, and composure when navigating complex or sensitive situations.
• A passion for creating environments where children, families, and team members feel safe, supported, and protected.
