Practice Operations Manager

The Problem Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for. What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve. We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology. Who We Are Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems. Leading health systems partner with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health . Our investors include health systems such as Cedars-Sinai and CommonSpirit Health, organizations that evaluated our model clinically and chose to back it. Why We Are Different Many clinicians who join Amae have worked in PHPs, IOPs, inpatient psychiatry, or community mental health. They understand the limitations of the traditional system. Amae was built to change that—for patients and for clinicians. Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients. Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population. Continuous learning. Through our partnership with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care. Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care. A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time. The Role: We are hiring a Practice Operations Manager to serve as the operational leader for our Los Altos, CA clinic.

You are adept at navigating change in a growing organization, are curious and motivated to learn new technologies, and embrace the ability to improve and streamline how work is executed in your clinic. A player/coach, you are equally as comfortable delegating work as you are rolling up your sleeves working with members. You possess meticulous attention to detail and are highly organized.

What We're Building Most healthcare companies ask you to optimize an existing system. We're building one that has never existed. A national care model designed for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health. Precision medicine for severe mental illness, using multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data to personalize treatment. A clinical operating system that integrates longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer. New science and measurement frameworks to define what real outcomes look like in SMI. A health-system partnership model proving coordinated SMI care can work at scale. Compensation & Benefits Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Base salary range for this role is $95,000-$115,000 per year and will be adjusted to market cost. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We’ll share specifics during the interview process. Amae Health is building the care platform, the precision medicine, and the frontier science that severe mental illness has never had. If you want to be part of creating something this hard and this important, something that has never been done, we'd like to talk. What We Value We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. It’s how we make clinical decisions, build products, and treat each other. We challenge convention. The existing system is the problem. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. High standards and humanity are not in tension. We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity. Your job isn’t done until the job is done. We close gaps, we follow through, and we don’t hide behind titles or org charts. We win together and fail together. We own outcomes as a team. We learn fast. We don’t do blame. We hustle with humility. Speed matters. So does integrity. We assume best intent and stay grounded in the mission.
