Location: California (Statewide Travel Required) Schedule: Full-Time | Hybrid Reports To: [CEO / Chief Clinical Officer / Executive Leadership] About Us Pacific Health Group is a mission-driven healthcare organization committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality, and culturally responsive care to the communities we serve across California. We believe that access to behavioral health and whole-person care is a right — not a privilege — and we’ve built our programs around that belief. From telehealth and care management to community-based services, we meet our patients and members where they are, physically and emotionally. As we grow our footprint and deepen our community impact, we are looking for a dynamic, purpose-driven leader to join our executive team and help shape the next chapter of our organization. The Opportunity This is not a traditional behavioral health director role. If you are a clinical leader who thrives equally in the boardroom and at a community health fair — someone who can inspire a care team in the morning and close a partnership with a county agency in the afternoon — this role was built for you. As our Director of Behavioral Health & Community Growth , you will lead our behavioral health programs while serving as one of the organization’s most visible ambassadors for growth. You’ll spend the majority of your time out in the community — attending events, building relationships, and opening doors that connect Californians to the care they deserve. You’ll travel throughout the state, partner alongside our three other directors, and play a central role in the strategic and operational growth of our entire organization. This is a rare opportunity to do meaningful clinical leadership work and have a direct hand in building something bigger.
