VP, Clinical Care Delivery

About the role

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. 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.

Additional Information

The Problem Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for. What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve. We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology.
