Who We Are

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States.

Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems.

Leading health systems partner with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health. Our investors include health systems such as Cedars-Sinai and CommonSpirit Health, organizations that evaluated our model clinically and chose to back it.

Why We Are Different

Many clinicians who join Amae have worked in PHPs, IOPs, inpatient psychiatry, or community mental health. They understand the limitations of the traditional system. Amae was built to change that—for patients and for clinicians.

• Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients.
• Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population.
• Continuous learning. Through our partnership with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care.
• Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care.
• A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time. 

The Role

We’re hiring a Vice President of Clinical Excellence to operationalize and scale Amae’s clinical model across our growing network of clinics. This is a senior execution role focused on translating clinical standards into consistent, high-quality care delivery. You will partner closely with Clinical, Operations, Product, and Data leadership to ensure our model is implemented with fidelity across every site.

Your mandate is simple but critical: Make great care repeatable.

What You’ll Do

Drive Model Adoption & Clinical Fidelity

• Ensure consistent delivery of Amae’s care model across therapy and integrated care teams
• Translate evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care) into structured, repeatable workflows
• Identify gaps between design and real-world execution — and close them

Build Clinical Quality Systems

• Implement systems for supervision, case review, and quality monitoring
• Establish feedback loops to detect and correct clinical drift early
• Partner with site leadership to reinforce accountability and performance

Operationalize Measurement-Based Care

• Embed measurement-based care into daily clinical workflows
• Ensure clinicians are using tools consistently and meaningfully
• Track and improve key clinical outcomes across sites

Partner on Clinical Technology Adoption

• Drive adoption of EHR workflows, measurement tools, and clinical dashboards
• Partner with Product and Data to improve usability and clinical impact
• Ensure technology enhances — not burdens — care delivery

Scale What Works

• Build playbooks, training systems, and onboarding approaches that scale across markets
• Support new clinic launches with strong clinical infrastructure from day one
• Maintain quality while enabling growth

What You'll Have

• Licensed therapist (PhD, PsyD, LCSW, LMFT, or equivalent strongly preferred)
• 10–15+ years in behavioral health, including serious mental illness
• 5+ years in clinical leadership roles
• Experience scaling clinical programs across multiple sites or programs

What Sets You Apart

• You’ve implemented clinical models in real-world settings — not just designed them
• You know how to drive consistency across clinicians with different styles and training
• You’re comfortable using data to drive clinical decisions and performance
• You can navigate resistance and bring clinicians along without lowering standards

Bonus (Not Required)

• Experience with measurement-based care systems
• Exposure to interventional psychiatry (TMS, ketamine/esketamine)
• Exposure to metabolic psychiatry
• Experience in a high-growth or venture / investor backed environment
• Background in outcomes research or clinical program design

What We’re Building

As a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it.

• A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health.
• Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data.
• A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams.
• Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more.
• A partnership model with the country’s leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.

Compensation & Benefits

Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Base salary range for this role is $175,000 - $235,000 per year and will be adjusted to market cost. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We’ll share specifics during the interview process.

If you want to practice at the top of your license, learn from the best in academic medicine, contribute to research that is defining a new field, and do it all inside a team that was actually built for this work, we’d like to talk.

Who We Are

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation delivering specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness through high-acuity, in-person clinics nationwide.

Our integrated model brings psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support together under one roof. Leading health systems—including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit—collaborate  with us to expand this level of care.

Alongside care delivery, we are building the science and technology the field has long lacked—proprietary clinical protocols, novel measurement, and an AI-driven data platform designed for severe mental illness.

The impact: fewer hospitalizations, greater stability, and more people living meaningful lives in their communities.

The Role

Amae is building a care model for individuals with severe mental illness that doesn’t exist anywhere else—delivering deeply integrated, in-person care in partnership with leading health systems.

As we scale, we’re investing in the compliance and quality infrastructure needed to support that model. We’re hiring a Quality & Compliance Manager to lead and operationalize this work, with a primary focus on Joint Commission readiness and ongoing accreditation.

This is a builder role. You’ll take complex regulatory requirements, translate them into clear, actionable systems, and drive execution across clinical and operational teams.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, resourceful, and comfortable operating with a high level of ownership—someone who doesn’t wait for direction, but instead figures it out and gets it done.

What You’ll Work On

Regulatory Compliance

• Monitor changes in federal, state, and local laws and ensuring adherence to CMS, HIPAA, and accreditation standards, including The Joint Commission
• Own ongoing compliance across all clinics
• Lead surveys end-to-end: prep, execution, follow-up
• Run quality committees, maintain documentation, and proactively close gaps

Compliance Execution

• Translate regulatory requirements into clear, usable workflows
• Build and maintain policies, procedures, and compliance infrastructure
• Support new market launches (licensure, accreditation, certification)

Clinical Quality

• Own core quality metrics (follow-ups, readmissions, documentation compliance)
• Lead root cause analyses and drive improvement initiatives
• Facilitate case reviews and quality forums

Incidents & Risk

• Own incident and grievance processes end-to-end
• Build systems to track patterns and reduce risk

Audit & Monitoring

• Conduct audits, identify gaps, and drive corrective actions
• Maintain a clean, usable P&P library with strong version control

What You'll Have

• 4–7 years in healthcare compliance, quality, or regulatory roles
• Strong familiarity with Joint Commission (behavioral health preferred)
• Experience supporting or leading a TJC survey is a strong plus
• Proven ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments
• Strong project management — you can drive multiple work streams to completion
• Ability to translate complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance
• Analytical mindset — you use data to identify issues and drive improvement
• Startup or high-growth experience preferred

Nice to have:

• Behavioral health or PHP/IOP experience
• Clinical background or licensure

How You Work

• High ownership — you don’t wait, you move
• Structured and detail-oriented, without losing speed
• Low ego, high standards
• Comfortable pushing back and influencing across teams

You’ll build the systems that allow Amae to scale nationally while maintaining safe, high-quality, and compliant care.

Compensation includes a base salary of $112,000 - $175,000 (based on level, experience and geography) plus equity ownership, giving you a meaningful stake in Amae's growth. Total compensation includes comprehensive medical/dental/vision, unlimited PTO, parental leave, and programs built around employee well-being. We’ll share specifics during the interview process.

Amae Health is building the care platform, the precision medicine, and the frontier science that severe mental illness has never had. If you want to be part of creating something this hard and this important, something that has never been done, we’d like to talk.
