About the role

Pear Suite is seeking a Regional Director to lead the development and implementation of community health initiatives across assigned states and regions.

This role serves as the primary regional operator responsible for bringing together healthcare providers, community-based organizations, Community Health Workers (CHWs), Tribal health organizations, health plans, government agencies, workforce partners, and other stakeholders to build stronger community-based care ecosystems.

The Regional Director will take complex initiatives from concept to implementation, translating Pear Suite's national capabilities into locally responsive programs and partnerships. This includes developing regional relationships, building provider and community networks, launching new programs, coordinating implementation across partners, and identifying sustainable pathways for programs to grow beyond initial grant or pilot funding.

This is a highly cross-functional role. The Regional Director will work across Pear Suite's workforce development, community outreach, provider network, operations, product, clinical, impact, sales, and payer teams to ensure that regional initiatives move from strategy into successful execution.
