About The Position

Transforming the lives of those affected by severe mental illness At Amae Health, we are dedicated to helping the 15.4 million Americans living with severe mental illness (SMI) lead stable, meaningful lives, while ending the cycle of repeat hospitalizations. In partnership with some of the nation’s top academic medical centers we’ve pioneered an innovative outpatient care model that combines compassionate, in-person psychiatric care with comprehensive wraparound support. Our integrated care teams — including psychiatrists, therapists, primary care physicians, health coaches, and peer support specialists — work together to treat the whole person via a unique model, addressing physical, mental, and social needs in unison. By caring for every aspect of our patients’ well-being, we help them not just survive, but truly thrive. Amae Health is a Series B venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to becoming the nation's center of excellence for individuals living with severe mental illness (SMI). Backed by top-tier venture capital firms and strategic healthcare investors, we collaborate with prestigious health systems including NewYork-Presbyterian and Cedars-Sinai, underscoring our commitment to fundamentally transforming mental health care delivery at scale. The Team: At Amae we are a collective of healthcare operators on a mission to create a radically different patient-first behavioral health care model that truly transforms patient’s lives by integrating care delivery, patient experience, cutting edge technology and research. Join a team of operators, builders and technologists from One Medical, Forward Health, Stanford, UCLA, Hinge Health, Palantir, The Four Seasons, and Brightline as we redefine care for the most vulnerable populations - across the nation, at scale. The Opportunity: We are expanding our capacity to provide whole-person care to patients with severe mental illness in the Los Angeles market, and are growing our leadership team as a result! We are looking to hire a Practice Operations Manager to serve as the operational leader for our LA clinic. As a dyad partner to our Clinic Director, the Practice Operations Manager will take the lead on service delivery and operational alignment, delivering on key KPIs and meeting and exceeding operational targets. Onsite and in partnership with clinical leaders, the Practice Operations Manager will provide leadership from a people, systems and process perspective - training, coaching, mentoring and developing teams, while modeling the behaviors to provide best in class service and care to our members. Truly cross-functional, you are comfortable working across clinic and centralized teams, including HR, Talent, Finance, Growth, Central Operations and Technology to facilitate the programs and systems that will enhance your team’s ability to deliver exceptional care while growing a healthy, sustainable business. You are adept at navigating change in a growing organization, are curious and motivated to learn new technologies, and embrace the ability to improve and streamline how work is executed in your clinic. A player/coach, you are equally as comfortable delegating work as you are rolling up your sleeves working with members. You possess meticulous attention to detail and are highly organized. If you are excited about the opportunity to lead operational excellence in an organization that is dedicated to creating centers of excellence for SMI care, we would love to hear from you!
