• Represent InStride's clinical work in PR opportunities and external partner meetings, consulting colleagues when a topic sits outside your zone of expertise

• Build and continuously improve the training, protocols, and clinical resources that enable InStride's care team to treat the most complex, high-acuity, avoidance-driven presentations of anxiety, OCD, and related disorders with confidence and fidelity
• Design and deliver ongoing care team training that raises clinical capability across therapists, exposure coaches, and psychiatrists as we own increasingly complex cases
• Strengthen care team confidence and consistency in treating high-acuity cases, reducing avoidable escalations, dropouts, and refer outs, and supporting clinician retention by equipping providers to succeed with hard cases
• Serve as a go-to clinical resource for supervisors and care team leaders when complex-case or specialized expertise is needed, and translate emerging research into practical, usable guidance for front-line providers

• Translate clinical requirements into effective, responsible AI product, and build the training and change management that helps the care team adopt AI tools with trust and competence

• Contribute to strategic enablers and major clinical initiatives
• Serve as the therapy subject matter expert on cross-functional teams, providing clinical input into Tech Product and Design

• Experience creating engaging, evidence-based clinical materials for children, teens, and young adults, and tailoring them by age
