What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Strategic Growth & Admissions (Addiction Treatment) position at HealthCare Recruiters International?
Director of Strategic Growth & Admissions (Addiction Treatment)
Open to addiction treatment leaders nationwide; relocation assistance available.
High-impact leadership role with $200K–$300K earning potential
A growing multi-site addiction treatment and behavioral health organization is seeking a hands-on growth leader to drive admissions, referral development, and census performance across 15 locations.
This is a high-impact, player-coach leadership role focused on building referral relationships, improving admissions conversion, strengthening payer mix, and helping scale the organization’s next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a purely strategic leadership role. The ideal candidate will be comfortable remaining actively involved in relationship development, admissions performance, and growth execution.
What You’ll Do
- Drive census growth across multiple addiction treatment programs
- Build and expand referral networks (legal system, digital channels, hospitals, community partners)
- Improve admissions processes, call handling, and conversion rates
- Lead and develop the admissions and marketing team
- Track KPIs (calls → admits → census, referral performance, cost per admit)
- Partner with leadership to align growth with operational capacity
What We’re Looking For
- Strong addiction treatment/substance use disorder experience required
- Proven experience growing census through both referral development and admissions optimization
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, hands-on growth environment
- Background in admissions, outreach, or business development
- Hands-on leader who can build, execute, and drive accountability
- Experience in a multi-site or scaling environment preferred
Compensation
- Base salary is around $150K (DOE)
- Performance-based bonus
- Realistic earnings $200K–$300K
- Long-term upside potential $500K with sustained growth
- Comprehensive benefits package
Why This Role
Strong foundation already in place (300 beds, steady census). This is about scaling—bringing structure, strategy, and execution to unlock the next phase of growth.
