Director, Strategy and Incubation

About the role

LifeStance is building a dedicated strategic function to identify, pilot, and scale new clinical service lines - moving ideas from concept to operational reality in a rigorous and structured way. The Director, Strategy & Incubation will own this process end-to-end, working within a clinical dyad with a senior leader from the CMO's organization to frame growth capabilities and in close partnership with the Director of Corp Development to prioritize and vet potential inorganic targets. This is a high-visibility, high-independence role that sits at the intersection of clinical strategy, business development, and operational execution. The right person is comfortable with ambiguity, rigorous in their thinking, and effective at driving cross-functional work without positional authority. Consistent with LifeStance's values, every member of the LifeStance team is expected to support each other and the mission, which may mean participating in projects and initiatives and performing functions and responsibilities not specifically outlined in this job description. WHY THIS ROLE While LifeStance is the largest national outpatient mental health platform in the country, we are still in the early innings of what the platform can offer. This role will directly shape the capabilities of LifeStance over the next three to five years - building things that do not yet exist inside a company that has the scale to accelerate market delivery. It is a rare opportunity to operate with significant autonomy and impact.
