This is first and foremost a business growth and operations leadership role. The ideal candidate is a strong relationship builder and operator who can establish services in a new market, grow referral volume, and build high-performing teams.

• Drive patient census, referral, service volume, and revenue goals.
• Monitor referral activity, conversion, clinician capacity, productivity, and market performance to identify growth opportunities.
• Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop PT, OT, and Speech clinicians as service volume grows.
• Lead day-to-day therapy operations, including caseload assignments, scheduling, productivity, staffing, and coverage.
• Oversee team performance, coaching, engagement, and professional development.
• Maintain quality and documentation standards in partnership with senior clinicians and discipline leads.
• Oversee billing processes, payroll approvals, and other operational requirements.
• Partner with Marketing, Community Services, and leadership on outreach, market planning, budgeting, and performance goals.
