Clinical Manager

Adaptive Home Health•Austin, TX

6d•$105,000 - $142,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are fixing US healthcare by building an AI-native physical care platform, starting with home health. We’ve built one of the best AI teams in the world (from Character AI, Scale, Palantir, Citadel, Jane Street) and paired them with a team of healthcare veterans to build a new type of healthcare company: one that delivers care at the speed of an AI company. We have created an opportunity for home health branch clinical leadership to be free from high-volume, process-intensive back-office functions with centralized support. This allows our Clinical Managers to have full focus where it matters most: active clinical oversight, enhanced skills training and development, and driving systems and behaviors that keep patients safe and out of the hospital. Our technology also eliminates administrative burden so that clinicians can focus on what they were trained to do: deliver excellent patient care. Position Type: Onsite, branch-based leadership role. This is an active, high-intensity clinical oversight position — not a desk role. Position Overview We are looking for a Clinical Manager who can lead clinical execution with high standards and high intensity. This is not a passive "clinical support" role. The branch Clinical Manager owns day-to-day clinical quality, staff development, and rehospitalization prevention for their branch. You are accountable for outcomes - not just activities. You will partner closely with operations, scheduling, and leadership to keep care delivery on track, and you will be a key leader in how we scale safely.
