ABOUT THE ROLE

The Senior Manager, Pediatric Clinical Program leads Respire’s complex pediatric respiratory therapy team and shapes the clinical education, competency, and quality foundation behind every family’s experience. This role blends clinical leadership with a deep commitment to empathy-driven care, ensuring caregivers feel genuinely supported through every transition, families are met with warmth as much as clinical expertise, and RTs are equipped, coached, and confident delivering safe, compassionate care to medically complex children.

Conduct 30/60/90-day evaluations for new pediatric RT hires and develop coaching or remediation plans when additional support is needed.
Serve as the senior clinical escalation resource for complex pediatric respiratory cases, providing steady, compassionate guidance to RTs, patients, and families in high-stress moments.
Partner closely with the Clinical Liaison/Sales & Marketing team on hospital engagement, referral relationships, and community visibility for the pediatric program.
Represent Respire’s pediatric program at community pediatric respiratory advocacy events, building relationships with local hospitals, families, and advocacy organizations.
Support clinical internship and precepting programs in partnership with local respiratory therapy schools, helping build Respire’s future pediatric RT pipeline.
Collaborate with Patient Navigation and the Pediatric Logistics Specialist on scheduling, equipment readiness, and delivery timing so clinical and operational teams move in step for every family.
Monitor onboarding effectiveness, retention trends, and competency data to identify opportunities for improvement and inform staffing decisions.
Own the pediatric RT hiring profile, interview process, and specialty recruiting strategy in partnership with the People & Culture team.
Own reporting on clinical quality, caregiver readiness, and team performance metrics for the pediatric program, and use that data to drive continuous improvement.
Uphold consistent people-management practices coaching, feedback, and performance standards across the pediatric RT team as the program scales.
Support the continued growth of pediatric respiratory therapy services as the organization expands.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate seamlessly across clinical, operational, sales/marketing, and community-facing teams.
