About the role
We are a healthcare software company committed to empowering professionals who deliver care to children and teens through evidence-based and engaging content. We are seeking a Clinical Advisor to help shape and elevate the clinical content we deliver to Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLPAs), and other speech therapy practitioners. In this part-time contractor role, you will partner closely with our Head of Content to ensure everything we produce is evidence-based, clinically sound, and genuinely useful at the practitioner level.
Responsibilities:
- Review & approve content — Evaluate existing training materials, interactive content, and therapy activities for practical applicability to pediatric speech therapy practice.
- Create new content — Develop original clinical content including case examples, decision frameworks, practitioner guides, and training modules for SLPs and SLPAs working with children and teens across a range of communication needs (e.g., articulation, language, fluency, social communication, AAC, feeding/swallowing where relevant).
- Shape curriculum strategy — Advise the Head of Content on content gaps, emerging best practices in speech-language pathology, and how to sequence learning for practitioners at various experience levels, from clinical fellows to seasoned SLPs.
- Serve as clinical SME — Act as a subject matter expert in cross-functional conversations to ensure clinical integrity is maintained across product and content decisions.
- Stay current — Monitor developments in speech-language pathology research, evidence-based intervention approaches, neurodiversity-affirming practices, and relevant regulatory, licensure, or ethical updates (ASHA standards, state licensure, IDEA/school-based requirements) to keep our content ahead of the field.
Credentials:
- Active credential in speech-language pathology — CCC-SLP (ASHA certification) and active state licensure required
- Minimum 3–5 years of direct clinical experience providing speech therapy to children and/or teens across settings (e.g., schools, clinics, private practice, early intervention, teletherapy)
- Experience supervising or mentoring SLPs, clinical fellows (CFs), or SLPAs is strongly preferred
- Familiarity with neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, and culturally responsive approaches to speech therapy
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to translate clinical concepts for a practitioner audience
- Prior experience in content development, curriculum design, continuing education (CEU/ASHA CE provider work), or clinical education is a plus
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a remote, fast-moving environment
