Chief Clinical Officer

Job Description

This is a remote position.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior clinical leader who wants to shape care at the organizational level while staying close to the mission that matters most: helping children and families receive high-quality, compassionate support.

The Chief Clinical Officer will guide clinical strategy, strengthen standards of care, support clinical leaders, and help build systems that improve outcomes across a growing pediatric therapy environment. This is not simply an administrative seat. It is a role for someone who wants to influence culture, quality, family experience, and long-term clinical direction.

We are seeking a Chief Clinical Officer to provide strategic, clinical, and operational leadership across therapeutic programs within a well-established pediatric therapy organization.

This leader will oversee clinical quality, ethical practice, staff development, family experience, compliance, and clinical operations. The role is ideal for someone who understands evidence-based care, values collaboration, and can bring structure, consistency, and vision to a multi‑site clinical environment.

A strong candidate will be comfortable operating at both the executive and field level, partnering with senior leadership while also mentoring clinical teams and improving day‑to‑day systems that directly impact children, families, and staff.

Set and execute the clinical vision across therapeutic programs

Build and refine clinical standards rooted in evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate care

Advance assent‑based, trauma‑informed, and family‑centered practices across the organization

Strengthen quality assurance systems, including audits, chart reviews, outcomes tracking, and feedback loops

Opportunity to shape systems, standards, and culture across a meaningful pediatric therapy platform

Mission‑driven work focused on children, families, and clinical excellence

Collaborative leadership environment where clinical voice and operational partnership both matter

Ability to mentor leaders and build a stronger future pipeline of clinical talent

Many clinical leadership roles are reactive. This one is designed for a leader who can be proactive, strategic, and deeply involved in building the future of care delivery.

You will have the opportunity to bring clarity to clinical systems, elevate quality standards, improve the family journey, and support the people delivering care every day. The right leader will not only manage the clinical function, but help define what excellent, ethical, family‑centered care should look like at scale.
