Job Description

A bit more about this role:

Devoted Medical seeks a Board-Certified Psychiatrist to serve as Behavioral Health Medical Director & Clinical Architect for our virtual-first, risk-bearing Medicare Advantage payer-provider practice. This is a high-impact, 50/50 hybrid leadership and practicing clinician role designed for a population health innovator. You will spend 50% of your time as a strategic builder designing a brand-new Serious Mental Illness (SMI) care paradigm (targeting schizophrenia spectrum, bipolar, and severe recurrent mood disorders) within a geriatric primary care model. The remaining 50% will be spent as a vanguard practitioner carrying an active clinical panel and serving as the primary prescriber for our highest-acuity members. Operating as our sole internal psychiatric leader, you will scale an integrated Behavioral Health Collaborative Care (CoCM) ecosystem built directly into our proprietary, AI-driven EMR, Orinoco.

Responsibilities:

1. Clinical Architecture & Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Program Design

Invent the Paradigm: Act as the primary builder and subject matter expert designing our upcoming longitudinal Serious Mental Illness (SMI) care model.
Value-Based Care Execution: Because Devoted Medical is a full risk-bearing "payvider" entity, you will design clinical strategies optimized for Total Cost of Care (TCOC) reduction and ED diversion, completely liberated from the constraints of traditional fee-for-service billing codes.
EMR & AI Product Partnership: Partner directly with our clinical operations and engineering teams to continuously build and optimize our proprietary, from-the-ground-up EMR (Orinoco), integrating generative AI tools to reduce clinician burden and simplify workflows.
Quality & Outcomes Governance: Define and track the program’s ultimate scorecard utilizing advanced, population-health KPIs (symptom remission, 30-day psychiatric readmission rates, and member engagement).

2. Vanguard Psychiatric Practice & Primary Care Interface

Direct-Care Delivery: Act as the primary, hands-on treating psychiatrist and prescriber for our most complex, medically fragile geriatric members during critical stabilization windows.
Systemic Multi-Disciplinary Reviews: Direct structured, data-informed case reviews with your panel of behavioral health care managers, providing expert Medical Management advice.
Primary Care Curbside Ecosystem: Scale our internal asynchronous psychiatry e-consult program, providing rapid, seamless diagnostic and psychotropic guidance to our wider network of Primary Care physicians and APPs.
Clinical Supervision: Work closely with the BH social work manager to provide clinical oversight and serve as the key clinical escalation point for the behavioral health team.

Attributes for Success: (The "Happy Warrior" Profile)

You Sweat the Details: You can pivot effortlessly from drafting a 3-year population-health roadmap to auditing individual clinical charts and shadowing virtual social work visits.
Startup Motor & Extreme Independence: You thrive on an island. You do not wait for hyper-directive governance; you work cross-functionally across a matrix to resolve operational gaps yourself.
Wired for Learning and Change: You are entirely comfortable testing innovative pilots, evaluating real-time data, and rapidly scrapping things that fail.
Servant Leadership: You understand that your ultimate success is measured by how effectively you empower, mentor, and elevate your frontline social work team.

Skills & Experience Requirements:

Board Certification: Active Board Certification in Adult Psychiatry.
Clinical Depth: Minimum of 2–3 years of active clinical experience, ideally managing high-acuity SMI, treatment-resistant mood disorders, or complex geriatric/D-SNP populations.
Integrated Care Mastery: Practical experience working within, or designing, Collaborative Care (CoCM) or integrated behavioral health workflows.
Virtual Operations: High comfort level with telehealth models and data-driven clinical registries.
Licensing Agility: Licensed in (or willing to proactively obtain) multiple state licenses as we scale our virtual footprint nationally.

Salary Range: 275,000-325,000 base range plus performance based 10% bonus paid annually
Employer-sponsored health insurance and dental and vision plan with low or no premium
