Talent Acquisition Analyst: Priscilla Bermudez (03042026) (Assistant Director of Behavioral Health & Recovery Services - D056)

 

San Mateo County Health’s Behavioral Health & Recovery Services (BHRS) Division is seeking an experienced and strategic leader to serve as a Quality Management Clinical Services Manager I/II within the Quality Management (QM) Unit.

The Clinical Services Manager (CSM) I/II – Mental Health classification series provides leadership and oversight within comprehensive behavioral health programs and is flexibly staffed at the I or II level depending on qualifications and experience.

The Quality Management Unit provides countywide oversight of clinical quality, regulatory compliance, documentation standards, credentialing, site certification, audit readiness, performance monitoring, and implementation of new state and federal behavioral health requirements. The unit partners closely with executive leadership, program managers, IT, medical staff, and contracted providers to translate regulatory and clinical standards into practical systems that strengthen accountability and improve care delivery across BHRS.

This position serves as the highest-level leader within the QM Unit and reports directly to a member of the Executive Team. The incumbent provides expert guidance on quality, compliance, and system improvement matters while working in partnership with operational leaders who retain implementation responsibility.

This role offers the opportunity to shape countywide standards for clinical quality and regulatory integrity within a large and complex public behavioral health system. The successful candidate will help safeguard member rights, strengthen accountability, and guide the organization through an evolving regulatory landscape. At the same time, the role requires balancing strict compliance requirements with operational realities, managing multiple concurrent audits and high-visibility regulatory reviews, and driving system improvement through collaboration and influence rather than direct operational authority.

The Quality Management Clinical Services Manager will:

• Provide leadership and oversight of BHRS Quality Management functions, including compliance monitoring, documentation standards, credentialing, site certification, audit coordination, grievance and appeal tracking, and risk mitigation.

• Lead audit readiness and response efforts, including preparation for DHCS compliance reviews, External Quality Review, and corrective action plan development and tracking.
• Oversee credentialing and re-credentialing processes and coordinate Credentialing Committee functions.
• Provide oversight of grievance, appeal, NOABD, and State Hearing tracking and reporting to ensure compliance with regulatory timelines and member rights protections.
• Oversee incident reporting and state breach processes, ensuring appropriate system-level review, follow-up, and mitigation.
• Direct site certification and re-certification activities for County-operated and contracted providers.
• Provide consultation, training, and technical assistance to managers and providers to support sustainable regulatory compliance.
• Partner with IT and MIS to align clinical documentation and regulatory requirements with electronic health record workflows.
• Monitor and analyze compliance data using electronic health records and data tools to inform decision-making and performance improvement.
• Supervise and develop Quality Management staff and ensure timely completion of reporting and regulatory deliverables.

 

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Strong knowledge of state and federal behavioral health regulations and experience translating regulatory requirements into operational guidance.
• Demonstrated experience leading quality assurance, compliance monitoring, audit preparation, clinical documentation review, and corrective action planning within behavioral health settings.
• Experience preparing reports, analyzing compliance data, and advising senior leadership on regulatory and quality trends.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, including experience utilizing electronic health records and data tools (e.g., Excel, Smartsheet) to monitor performance, assess trends, and support decision-making.
• Experience in designing and delivering training and technical assistance aligned with regulatory requirements and system improvement goals.
• Experience supervising or leading teams and fostering accountability, performance improvement, and professional development.
• Ability to collaborate across clinical, fiscal, IT, contracting, and medical staff functions to ensure policy and workflow alignment.
• Experience advancing culturally responsive and equitable behavioral health practices within policy, supervision, and program design.

 

NOTE: The eligible list generated from this recruitment may be used to fill future extra-help, term, unclassified, and regular classified vacancies.

Examples Of Duties

Duties may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Managing core Quality Management processes, including credentialing, site certification, clinical documentation review, grievance and appeal tracking, and incident reporting.
