Are you a compassionate leader ready to make a difference in community mental health? Join PTWMSI as a Clinical Programs Director, where you’ll oversee the operational management, grant compliance, data performance, and stakeholder relationships for all assigned PTWMSI programs (SBE, VOC, MAP, etc.). This role ensures that program operations run smoothly, deliverables are met, partner expectations are fulfilled, and funding requirements are satisfied. The Program Director is the owner of program operations, while collaborating closely with the Clinical Director, who owns clinical quality and practice standards.

Ensure operational processes support timely service delivery and compliance with grant requirements. Resolve operational barriers impacting productivity or deliverables.

  • Staff Supervision & Performance Supervise non-clinical program staff and supervisors (program coordinators, administrative staff, support roles). Provide workflow guidance, schedule management, and operational coaching. Conduct operational performance evaluations. Partner with the Clinical Director when staff performance includes both clinical and operational factors.

  • Stakeholder & Community Partner Management (OWNED BY THIS ROLE) Act as primary operational point of contact for schools, community partners, and program funders. Represent PTWMSI at school meetings, site meetings, and grant-related partner events. Communicate operational changes, expectations, and needs clearly and proactively.

Support leadership with operational components of new initiatives, expansions, and grant opportunities. Collaborate with Clinical Director to ensure program structure supports clinical best practices.
  • Collaboration With Clinical Director The Program Director collaborates with the Clinical Director on: Staff deployment to sites (Program Director owns scheduling; Clinical Director ensures clinical suitability).
