Licensed Social Work Program Manager — Founding Team

100% Remote

Proactive Safety Net & Community Impact Public Health Startup

Role Overview

This is a founding-level leadership opportunity within an emerging public health startup building a new model for preventative behavioral health and workforce development.

The Licensed Social Work Program Manager will lead and supervise a cohort of 10–15 interns implementing a structured, community-based model that shifts the field:

From reactive intervention

To proactive, purpose-driven human development

This role is ideal for a licensed social worker ready to step beyond traditional systems and help build a scalable solution that supports individuals before crisis occurs.

Time Commitment

Minimum: 2 hours per week

Flexible, with opportunity to grow involvement as the program scales

Compensation (Equity-Based)

This is an early-stage startup role.

Primary compensation: Equity ownership in the company and program

Opportunity to join the founding team

Direct influence on long-term strategy and national scale

This is not a salaried role at this stage

It is an opportunity to build and own part of a transformative public health system

Why This Work Matters

Behavioral health systems face workforce shortages, but the core issue is not a lack of people—it is a lack of clear pathways connecting lived experience to meaningful roles.

This model addresses the “Naming Gap”—the missing link between experience, purpose, and action

Within just 15 months, under minimal funding and no incentives, the model has demonstrated:

2,900+ participants across 900+ cities

5,000+ structured program engagements

Integration into MPH and MSW programs within accredited institutions

Active use within credit-bearing internship and practicum structures across the U.S.

27 verified producers creating real-world, institutionally adopted impact

1,350+ individuals directly impacted

These are not theoretical partnerships—these are already signed and operational institutional agreements, creating a clear pathway for national scaling.

What You Will Do

Lead & Supervise

Oversee 10–15 interns facilitating structured sessions

Ensure consistent delivery of the developmental model:

Awareness Personalization Action Community Integration

Apply Licensed Expertise

Maintain ethical, non-clinical boundaries

Ensure psychological safety across all environments

Guide interns in real-world participant engagement

Ensure Quality & Integrity

Monitor facilitation quality and participant outcomes

Prevent drift into reactive or deficit-based models

Maintain a strengths-based, purpose-driven approach

Develop Future Practitioners

Train interns in facilitation, empathy, and structured engagement

Translate academic theory into applied community impact

Build & Scale

Help expand an already validated model across institutions

Contribute to scaling from 27 1,000+ impact producers

Why This Role Is Different

This is not traditional supervision.

You are not managing caseloads

You are helping build infrastructure for prevention at a national level

Instead of serving individuals one at a time, you will:

Multiply your impact through supervised cohorts

Help scale a system already embedded in universities and communities

Ideal Candidate

Licensed Social Worker (LMSW, LCSW, LICSW, or equivalent)

Experience in supervision, facilitation, or community-based work

Interest in:

Public health innovation

Preventative care models

Startup environments

The Opportunity

This is a ground-floor role in a high-potential public health startup with:

Signed and scalable institutional agreements across the U.S.

Proven validation across real-world, institutional, and academic environments

Global reach and national expansion readiness

An opportunity to earn equity

Shape the model

Help redefine how social work operates at scale

Bottom Line:

This role is for a licensed social worker ready to move upstream—

from responding to crisis to building systems that prevent it altogether.

The skill shift: from “what you know” to “what you can do with what you know”

For decades, education and training often rewarded possession of knowledge: completing the reading, passing the test, writing the paper. But AI can now generate a plausible essay, a slide deck, or a market summary in seconds. The new differentiator isn’t producing information—it’s producing judgment, context, and value. Employers are increasingly emphasizing skills that are durable across tools and industries: analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience and adaptability, leadership and social influence, curiosity and lifelong learning, systems thinking, and motivation/self-awareness.

The hidden risk: AI can widen the gap between “task-doers” and “value-creators”

The danger isn’t simply job loss. It’s stratification. Workers who can use AI to accelerate high-level work may see gains; workers who are positioned as interchangeable “task-doers” may face wage pressure or stagnation. The OECD has warned of divides between workers able to complement AI and those who cannot, with very different economic outcomes. In early 2026, AI-related labor disruption has become prominent enough that global leaders were publicly describing it as a wave capable of reshaping entry-level work in particular.
