The ideal candidate is a collaborative, adaptable, and systems-oriented professional who is motivated by the opportunity to help build and shape a new program from the ground up. They bring strong clinical judgment, comfort navigating complexity, and a deep commitment to improving outcomes for individuals who have historically been underserved.

Successful candidates will demonstrate:
