Vice President & General Manager, Midwest Region

Vice President & General Manager, Midwest Region 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 Wisconsin.

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 Vice President & General Manager, Midwest Region, you'll own clinical operations across the state, starting with two clinics in Milwaukee. You'll oversee and partner closely with the market clinical leader, manage external relationships, and lead clinic expansion on the ground. This is a full-stack operations role — equal parts operator, strategist, and people leader.

This role carries accountability for Brightline’s Wisconsin market performance: clinical outcomes, operational execution, financial results, and managing a positive and productive market culture capable of delivering best in class access and outcomes for Brightline families. This role reports to the COO and collaborates closely with Brightline clinical leadership, operations, growth, and marketing teams to execute and iterate on the Brightline care model.

You'll sit at the intersection of clinical operations, patient experience, and strategic growth, working closely with both frontline teams and Brightline's shared service and executive leadership.

Brightline is growing fast — and Wisconsin will be our second hybrid market leading the way.
