Director, Community

Alma is redefining what it means to be part of a professional clinican community. As the leader of our Community function, you will be the primary architect of Alma's engagement ecosystem, supporting our rapidly growing national network of private practice mental health providers.

You will define the annual vision that bridges the gap between our members’ needs and our business objectives, ensuring that every interaction within our community adds tangible value. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Product Marketing, you will lead a high-performing team to position Alma as a pioneer in modern community engagement during a period of rapid organizational scaling. This is a rare opportunity to shape a company’s foundational philosophy on belonging and professional growth at a time when community-driven trust is our greatest competitive advantage.

What you’ll do

• Define and own the multi-year vision and strategy for the community function, aligning around shared priorities within the company, success metrics, and long-term impact.
• Establish, track, and evolve function-level KPIs and growth forecasts to measure community health, engagement, and business ROI. Create a community-led sentiment analysis process to provide visibility for cross-functional partners.
• Lead, coach, and scale a high-performing, inclusive team: matching talent to roles, fostering autonomy, and sustaining excellence through change.
• Influence company-wide strategy, including product and marketing direction, by translating community insights into executive-level recommendations. This drives cross-functional programs and initiatives that enhance Alma's competitive advantage.
• Design, optimize, and automate complex processes and programs to improve execution quality, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Monitor and manage community budget and resource allocation, balancing experimentation and informed risk-taking with accountability for outcomes.
• Oversee and negotiate strategic external partnerships and vendors, extending the community’s reach and strengthening its role within the broader ecosystem.
• Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics across the organization to align community outcomes with company goals and engagement philosophies.
