Amae Health is redefining the standard of care for people with severe mental illness.
We’re on a mission to deliver radically different care for the 14 million Americans suffering with a severe mental illness (SMI). Amae Health is an integrated, outpatient care provider for patients with SMI, treating their psychiatric and physical conditions through in-person care delivery with wrap-around services. Our approach recognizes the unique needs of our patients, and provides personalized treatment across the physical, mental and social service resources required to holistically improve patients’ lives. We believe that only by treating the whole person can you obtain lasting health outcomes.
We will accept Medicaid in addition to commercial/private insurances and our services are designed to complement the work already being done in the community. Our long-term, integrated services prioritize patient needs ensuring personalized, compassionate and high-quality care. We offer a holistic, one-stop-shop with wrap-around services that include: Psychiatry, Primary Care, Therapy, Peer Support/ Community Health Workers, Health Coaches, and Dietitians in a warm and inviting clinic space.
The Opportunity:
We are expanding our capacity to provide whole-person care to patients with severe mental illness in the Raleigh market, and are growing our leadership team as a result! We are looking to hire a Practice Operations Manager to serve as the operational leader for our Raleigh 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.
