Executive Director Job Description - Launching Engage Treatment in Cedar City

The Engage programs offer treatment to young adults. We’re currently seeking an Executive Director to lead our outpatient day treatment location in Cedar City, Utah.

Your Opportunity: This is an opportunity to build and lead something that matters. You will steward a mission-driven organization, develop an exceptional team and culture, drive operational and clinical excellence, and directly impact the lives of vulnerable young people and their families.

The right leader is purpose-driven, accountable, emotionally intelligent, and execution-oriented. This role offers substantial autonomy, executive-level influence, meaningful financial upside, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy through lives transformed.

• As the executive director at Engage we expect to see:
• Decisiveness: Leaders at Engage make the right decisions rapidly.
• Teamability: Effectively collaborates, contributes, and adapts within a team setting, prioritizing group success over personal agenda.
• Resilience & Grit: This is a challenging role that can require prolonged intensity. The right leader will have the ability to show up with energy each day, even while things are difficult.

• Continuous Improvement: At Engage, a core responsibility of the Executive Director is to demonstrate personally, and foster a team culture of continuous improvement.

A day in the life: This role requires a strong on-site presence, with the flexibility to be available after hours, as the needs of the program demand. Expect an exciting role where every day is unique. The schedule will likely include 15-25 hours in meetings and 1:1s each week. The rest of the time is typically highly variable, and will include hiring/firing/talent activities, taking care of parent and student concerns, “rounding” the program, meeting with licensing, marketing activities, and frequent after hours phone calls and support.

• Enrollment Levels and program completion rates at 90%+ of target capacity
• Teams fully staffed and trained
