• Maintain high standards for confidentiality, HIPAA compliance, and ethical service delivery.
• Support organizational quality and compliance initiatives.

The position specifically includes responsibility for workforce coverage, platform functionality, transcript review, QA metrics, corrective action, documentation, and continuous service improvement.

• Bachelor’s degree in Counseling, Psychology, or a related field required.
• A bachelor’s degree combined with equivalent crisis-services experience may also be considered.

• Minimum of two (2) years of experience in crisis intervention or mental health services.
• Minimum of one (1) year of supervisory or leadership experience.
• Experience working in a crisis call center, 988 environment, or digital crisis-response setting is highly valued.

• Strong leadership and staff-management skills.
• Excellent written communication skills.
• Ability to effectively supervise crisis services delivered through digital communication.
• Proficiency with digital communication platforms and electronic documentation.
• Strong operational judgment and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to monitor performance metrics and translate findings into staff coaching and operational improvements.
• Ability to remain composed and make sound decisions in high-pressure, crisis-related situations.
• Commitment to person-centered and trauma-informed decision-making.
