Most physical therapists spend their careers delivering care inside systems they did not build.
A small number want more. They want to lead. They want to build. They want to understand how a great clinic actually grows. They want to develop people, drive performance, and create something meaningful, without taking on the financial risk of starting from scratch.
That is what this role is built for. Competitive Edge Physical Therapy is opening a new clinic in Draper Utah and hiring a Founding Clinic Director to lead it.
This is not a traditional clinic director position. It is a chance to launch and grow a clinic inside an established company with proven systems, centralized support, and a serious expansion vision.
You will lead the clinic locally while our team supports the infrastructure behind it with marketing, sales, operations, systems, finance, and strategic guidance.
Who this is For This role is for a PT who is:
ambitious enough to want more than a clinical job
excited by leadership, growth, and accountability
interested in business, not just patient care
motivated by building a team and growing a location
ready to become the kind of leader who can scale with a company
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to build something bigger, but I don’t want to take on all the startup risk alone,” this may be the opportunity.
What Makes this Different Most PT leadership roles are just heavier caseloads with more admin work. We've designed this role to be different with intentional focus on growth, impact, business skills, and progression towards a skilled operator leader not just a busy clinician.
You will learn how to:
lead and develop a team
grow a clinic strategically
understand financial performance and profitability
build referral and community relationships
improve conversion and client experience
create accountability and a high-performance culture
operate a clinic as a business, not just a treatment schedule
You won’t be doing it unsupported. You’ll be backed by a centralized team and a company already proving the model across multiple locations.
What You’ll Do
Launch and lead a new Competitive Edge Physical Therapy location
Build and maintain a strong client caseload
Create an exceptional client experience and clinical standard
Mentor and develop clinicians and team members
Build local relationships and community presence
Drive clinic growth, team performance, and profitability
Help execute the long-term vision of the company as we scale
