About the role

You'll lead Thrive's Washington team: about 20 school psychologists, SLPs, OTs, PTs, an SLPA, and mental health clinicians serving schools across the Seattle region. You'll hire, manage, and develop them, and you'll be the main contact for our school partners. This is a people-leadership role. You'll set expectations, coach, give direct feedback, and hold people accountable for results. You'll report to our Chief Clinical Officer and work closely with the Partnership Team.

• Be the first person clinicians call with a question, and answer them quickly.
• Build a team culture of clinical excellence, reliability, and care.
• Run the region: give every school a clear roster and on‑campus schedule, including which students are seen and when.
• Keep services on track: ensure IEP minutes are delivered, schedule make‑up sessions, and maintain current documentation.
• Ensure the team uses Thrive Clinical, our documentation platform, fully and consistently.
• Handle staffing coverage and work with the talent team to hire.
• Partner with schools: serve as the main contact for district and school leaders.
• Spot problems before schools do and solve them.
• Represent Thrive with the professionalism of a healthcare organization.
