Clinic Director (Palo Alto Area)

Most physical therapists spend their careers treating patients.

Very few ever learn how to build a profitable clinic, develop leaders, understand business, and scale a team.

At Competitive Edge Physical Therapy, we've built a career path designed to teach all four.

We're opening a new clinic in the Palo Alto area and looking for an ambitious physical therapist to lead it.

This is not a traditional Clinic Director role.

It's an opportunity to learn how to build and lead a thriving clinic while being supported by an established company with proven systems, marketing, sales, operations, and leadership mentorship.

If you've ever thought about owning a clinic but weren't interested in taking on the financial risk, this role was built for you.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Most PT leadership roles are simply larger clinical jobs.

This role is designed to help exceptional clinicians become exceptional clinic builders.

You'll gain hands-on experience in:

• Leadership & Team Development
• Hiring & Interviewing
• Clinic Financials & Profitability
• Sales & Conversion Systems
• Community Partnerships
• Referral Growth Strategies
• Clinic Operations
• Business Development

While you focus on leading people, growing the clinic, and delivering exceptional patient experiences, our centralized team provides support with marketing, sales, operations, systems, and infrastructure.

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow a new Competitive Edge Physical Therapy location
• Build and maintain a thriving patient caseload
• Mentor and develop clinicians through coaching and leadership
• Build relationships within the local community
• Drive clinic growth and profitability
• Create a high-performance culture focused on excellence and accountability
• Help execute the long-term vision of the organization

Who We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are a licensed Physical Therapist in California (or eligible for licensure)
• Have several years of clinical experience
• Enjoy leadership, mentorship, and developing others
• Think beyond patient care and want to understand how successful clinics are built
• Are growth-oriented, accountable, and driven
• Want to make a larger impact without opening your own business

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary - $120,000 
• Profit sharing from day one so you participate directly in the growth you help create
• Successful Clinic Directors can earn total compensation exceeding $215,000 as they grow the clinic
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Healthcare benefits
• Paid Time Off
• Sick Pay
• Two hours of paid professional development each week
• Ongoing leadership mentorship and coaching

Ready to Build Something Bigger?

Most physical therapists will never have the opportunity to launch and lead a clinic with the support of an experienced team behind them.

If you're excited by leadership, growth, mentorship, and the opportunity to build something meaningful, we'd love to talk.
