This role leads the psychological services group within the High‑Performance umbrella, owns clinical supervision and crisis‑response architecture, coordinates the Club’s external clinical network and consulting bench, and is the senior point of contact for confidential player behavioral‑health matters.

Core duties for this role include, but are not limited to:

• Provide sports psychology and mental health services to players on a short‑/long‑term basis, depending on the level of care required.
• Identify emotional, psychological, and behavioral disorders.
• Develop and implement treatment plans and therapeutic processes.
• Develop and implement a mental performance curriculum that improves on‑field performance and supports individual player development at scale.
• Provide goals and action plans for players to achieve personal, social, and vocational development.

The ideal candidate will have a Doctorate (PhD or PsyD) in clinical, counseling, or sport psychology. Active clinical psychologist licensure in Wisconsin and Arizona (or eligibility for reciprocity within 6 months) is required. Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) certification through AASP is required, or active candidacy with a documented completion timeline. Minimum five years of post‑doctoral applied experience, preferably including professional or elite‑amateur sport, is required.

Demonstrated experience leading or supervising a multi‑site psychological services group, owning crisis protocols, and managing external clinical networks is essential.

Within performance psychology, you will be a key member of a staff tasked with ensuring that the mental well‑being and mental preparation of our players creates a competitive edge on the baseball field. We are committed to raising the floor for all players through innovative education and training methods to ensure that they have the psychological knowledge and skills necessary to reach their greatest potential.

Your role within the organization will be crucial to maintaining the standards of excellence we have set in player care and development and how that contributes to team success.

You come here to make a difference. We are a purpose‑led organization, focused on building an inclusive and engaging culture that fosters excellence, collaboration, and ingenuity.
