VP/GM, New York Market

Brightline is redefining what pediatric behavioral health care looks like for families across the country — and we're looking for the operational leader who will execute that vision in New York. This isn't a role for someone who manages from a distance. You'll be in the clinics, with the teams, solving real problems in real time. You’ll own the region's clinical and financial performance, drive a positive and productive culture, and build the operational foundation for continued expansion. You'll be the connective tissue between Brightline's corporate strategy and how the Brightline team and families experience our services. As the VP/GM, New York Markets, you'll own four clinics today with a clear path to six, spanning the New York City metro area and beyond into other parts of New York State and the Northeast US. You'll partner closely with the regional clinical leader, manage external relationships like our partnership with NYU, and lead clinic expansion on the ground. This is a full-stack operations role — equal parts operator, strategist, and people leader.
