About the Role

The Clinical Operations Director is responsible for the day-to-day operation of our clinical practice and the systems that support it. This role oversees clinical operations, patient operations, compliance, physician capacity, and the Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) team to ensure patients receive a consistent, high-quality experience while the organization continues to grow.

You'll partner closely throughout the organization to improve workflows, solve operational challenges, and ensure teams are working together effectively. You'll own many of the operational processes that keep the practice running—from patient onboarding and renewals to physician licensing, operational reporting, SOP development, and compliance initiatives.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable managing today's priorities while building better systems for tomorrow. Some days you'll be resolving operational issues in real time, while others will be spent improving processes, coaching managers, reviewing performance metrics, or implementing new initiatives. You'll be expected to identify problems before they become bottlenecks and create practical solutions that improve both team performance and the patient experience.

This position reports to the COO.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
