Clinical Director (LMHP) –
Execution‑Focused | Compliance‑Driven | High‑Accountability Leadership Role

This role is for a clinical operator, not a passive overseer. Life Consultants Inc. is seeking a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) to serve as Clinical Director and own clinical execution across multiple regulated service lines, including Residential Crisis Stabilization, Community Crisis, Mental Health Skill‑Building, Intensive In‑Home, and Transitional Housing.

This role requires decisive leadership, system‑building, and consistent follow‑through in a fast‑moving, highly regulated environment.

You will thrive here if you:

• Enjoy accountability, metrics, and clarity
• Are comfortable operating with incomplete information
• Like building structure where none exists
• Address problems directly and early
• Translate vision into execution without hand‑holding

You will struggle here if you:

• Avoid conflict or difficult conversations
• Dislike audits, regulations, or performance metrics
• Require excessive reassurance or daily direction
• Prefer consensus over ownership
• Want to remain primarily in a direct clinical role

• Lead, mentor, and hold accountable clinical supervisors, clinicians, and direct‑care staff across multiple programs
• Set clear expectations, enforce standards, and address missed performance directly
• Conduct performance evaluations tied to measurable KPIs (utilization, documentation timeliness, compliance scores, staff retention)
• Build leaders and systems—not individual heroics or constant fire‑fighting
• Strengthen existing leadership infrastructure rather than personally carrying clinical operations

• Develop, document, train, and enforce standardized clinical workflows and SOPs
• Establish and monitor quantitative program goals (occupancy, billable utilization, discharge follow‑up, treatment‑plan timelines)
• Review program data monthly, identify risks and trends, and take decisive corrective action
• Partner in the design and launch of new or expanded programs aligned with regulatory and community needs

• Ensure 100% audit‑ready compliance with DBHDS, DMAS, and MCO requirements
• Lead root‑cause analysis and development of CAPs and QIPs when deficiencies occur
• Translate regulations into practical, executable policies staff can consistently follow
• Maintain internal monitoring systems that prevent repeat findings

• Work closely with Managing Director, HR, and Finance to align staffing, operations, and budgets
• Communicate key metrics, risks, and recommendations to executive leadership clearly and proactively
• Build and maintain strong external relationships with MCOs, referral sources, and community partners

This is a leadership and systems role
. Direct clinical caseloads or routine clinical coverage are not core expectations.

Success comes from:

• Developing supervisors
• Enforcing standards
• Building durable systems
• Creating accountability rhythms that scale

The Clinical Director reports directly to a fast‑moving, execution‑driven CEO
.

Once priorities, guardrails, and success metrics are aligned, the Clinical Director is expected to execute independently.

This role is not managed day‑to‑day by the CEO.

The CEO expects:

• Clear visibility through metrics and dashboards
• Early escalation of risks with data and options
• Closed loops and follow‑through without reminders

Early identification of problems is viewed as leadership strength
.

Avoidance, surprise, or delayed disclosure is not.

Candidates who succeed in this role are energized by ownership and accountability and do not require emotional reassurance to execute.

• Full command of regulatory requirements across all programs
• Clear visibility into KPIs, risks, and operational gaps
• Established supervision, audit, and reporting cadence

• Standardized workflows and documentation expectations live
• Qu…
