About the role
This is not a supervisory role in the traditional sense. The National Director of Mental Health Clinical Excellence Clinical Excellence is a senior leadership position responsible for defining, building, and driving Thrive's national standard of practice across school psychology and educational diagnostics. You are not managing a single region. You are setting the clinical bar that every Thrive school psychologist is measured against, in every school, in every state, across every market we operate or will operate. Reporting to the Chief Clinical Officer, you will lead and develop the layer of Clinical Supervisors who deliver high-touch supervision to pre-licensed LCSWs, clinical social work residents, and tiered providers across our regional markets. They are the coaches on the ground. You are the one who decides what they are coaching toward. You build the playbook. You establish the benchmarks. You define what excellent clinical mental health practice looks like at Thrive nationally, and you make sure it holds consistently across a footprint that spans the country and is growing by the month. Because we own our clinical platform, you will also serve as a primary clinical voice in the evolution of Thrive Clinical, partnering closely with product and engineering to shape how the platform measures, supports, and accelerates excellent mental health care. This is not a courtesy seat at the table. You will own clinical requirements for defined areas of the product roadmap. This role requires approximately 50% travel across Thrive's national markets, concentrated around summer intensives, site launches, supervisor onboarding, and targeted in-person work with partner districts. The work happens in schools, in districts, and alongside the teams delivering care across the country.
Requirements
- A fully licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with deep credibility in clinical diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and school-based or pediatric mental health, and the humility to lead a national clinical team across diverse populations and settings
- A clinical leader who has already managed clinicians across multiple sites or multiple states, and who is ready to take a national footprint as the next logical scope
- A standard-setter who thinks in systems: you see a gap in diagnostic practice and your first instinct is to build the protocol, the supervision framework, or the dashboard that closes it pe
