Practice Manager

About the Role

Reporting to the Assistant Director, the Practice Manager owns practice operations across all departments and supervises the Care Coordinators and the Medication Management Coordinator. You will operate with genuine independence and decision-making authority within operations, working inside a clear and collaborative leadership structure that defines what each role owns and where decisions are made together.

We are looking for a leader who follows and strengthens established processes, keeps leadership informed with accurate and timely information, and recognizes when a decision calls for coordination with clinical or administrative leadership. If you take pride in dependable systems, transparent communication, and doing meaningful work well, you will fit here.
About You

You are an operations professional who finds genuine satisfaction in a practice that runs well: schedules that work, systems that talk to each other, records that are right the first time, and a front-office team that feels supported and knows what excellent looks like. You communicate in specifics, flag problems early and without spin, and would rather surface a concern than smooth it over. You know the difference between owning a decision and looping in the right people, and you are equally comfortable doing both. You want your work to matter, and at a behavioral health practice, it does: every operational detail you get right helps a clinician focus on a client.
