We're not just a service; we're a culture of care – committed to inclusivity, innovation, and impact.. Our culture is driven by our values - Alongside You, Flexible, Compassionate, Committed, and Safe. These values are present in the work that we do, the environment in which we do it, and in the relationships we have with our service users, peers, and leaders.

As Director of Partnerships & Integrations (California only), you’ll lead the development, execution, and implementation of strategic partnerships that integrate Kooth into California’s behavioral health ecosystem.

Ensure partner requirements are captured and coordinated across clinical, product, and technology teams for successful service delivery. . A Strategic Closer. .

Ensure integrations are successfully delivered on time and to standard-prioritizing user impact, system fit, and long-term sustainability. . Bring a "completer-finisher" mindset-thriving in execution, not just ideation. . What You’ll Bring: . . 8+ years in partnerships, health system integration, public sector strategy, or related roles. . Deep familiarity with California’s mental health, education, and public health systems (esp. Medi-Cal, DHCS, LEAs, COEs, CBOs). .
