Job Description

Position Summary

The Director of Practice Management provides agency-wide leadership for the day-to-day oversight, performance management, and continuous operational improvement of Akin’s inquiry, referral, intake coordination, administrative support, and practice management functions. This role spans both clinical behavioral health services and non-clinical programs , including Family Navigation, Early Learning, and community-based supports.

The Director ensures that families experience a timely, coordinated, and high-quality journey from first contact through enrollment and service engagement. The role is responsible for building and maintaining standardized workflows, data practices, operational dashboards, and quality assurance systems that support documentation accuracy, productivity, compliance, and billing readiness.

Working closely with program leadership, Finance, Data & Impact, and other cross-functional partners, the Director ensures that operational systems are reliable, equitable, and responsive—supporting both mission impact and financial sustainability.

Essential Functions

Operational Leadership & Oversight

  • Oversee daily inquiry, referral, and intake coordination operations across clinical and non-clinical programs, ensuring timely responses, accurate data entry, and a consistent family experience.
  • Build and manage cross-agency intake coordination systems that ensure clear handoffs, reduce duplication, and maintain effective internal and external referral pathways.
  • Respond promptly to workflow disruptions, operational risks, and documentation issues, coordinating timely problem-solving with internal teams.

Workflow, Data, and Practice Management

  • Collaboration & Leadership

  • Supervise and support practice management staff through coaching, accountability structures, and performance oversight.
  • Partner with Program Directors to identify workflow barriers and implement practical, timely solutions.
  • Collaborate with Data & Impact to validate data accuracy and improve reporting quality and usability.
  • Establish reliable communication routines (e.g., huddles, cross-functional problem-solving forums, and routine leadership updates).
  • Lead implementation of workflow improvements and technology enhancements, ensuring clear communication, staff training, and follow-up.
  • Equity & Organizational Values

  • Promote culturally responsive operational practices and equitable access across all Akin services.

  • Experience developing and conducting operational quality assurance activities, including audits and Level 1 Reviews.
