Executive Director

Grayken Center for Addiction, Boston Medical Center

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston Medical Center Health System seeks a visionary, strategic, and collaborative Executive Director to lead the Grayken Center for Addiction, a nationally recognized center advancing substance use disorder care through research, education, policy, and practice.

The Grayken Center serves as the integrative hub for addiction-related work across BMCHS, aligning clinical services, research, education, and community partnerships to improve the delivery of care. While not a primary clinical operator, the Grayken Center convenes stakeholders, advances innovation, and supports the implementation and spread of evidence-based practices across more than 15 addiction services. Its work strengthens quality, advances equity, reduces stigma, and expands access to care for patients and communities.

As part of a large, integrated safety-net health system that includes hospitals, accountable care organizations, a health plan, and a network of community health centers, the Grayken Center is uniquely positioned to influence addiction care across the full continuum, from clinical delivery to population health and value-based care. It also plays a significant national role through multidisciplinary training and technical assistance programs, research and evaluation, and policy engagement at local, state, and federal levels.

As the need for high-quality, accessible addiction care continues to grow, the Grayken Center is entering a period of transition with the planned retirement of its Executive Director. Reporting to the Vice President and Chief of Population Health Services, the next Executive Director will set clear strategic priorities, lead operations, and serve as the Grayken Center’s primary internal and external representative, ensuring its work is coordinated, scalable, and delivers measurable improvements in care and outcomes across a complex, matrixed enterprise, in close partnership with clinical, academic, and community leaders.

Candidates must hold a clinical doctoral degree and be eligible for appointment at the associate or full professor level, with significant leadership experience in academic medicine or integrated health systems and deep expertise in substance use disorder care.
