About the role

This role is field-based, and candidates should live within the United States. The Director, Psychiatry Field Reimbursement Managers (FRM) will lead the national strategy and execution of the Psychiatry FRM team. This role provides direct leadership to 3 Associate Directors and indirect leadership to 23 Field Reimbursement Managers across the country.

The Director owns the performance framework that translates FRM activity into measurable business value, influences senior stakeholder decisions with insight and data.
