Portland, Oregon

PRAXIS HEALTH — NOW HIRING

Director of Primary Care

Location & Work Model

Location: Portland, Oregon — 100% On-Site

Travel: Approximately 20% regional travel within your assigned area

The Opportunity

Are you someone who thrives in motion — who sees a shifting landscape as an invitation, not an obstacle? Praxis Health is building the future of primary care, and we need a leader ready to build it with us.

As Director of Primary Care, you’ll own a geographic region end-to-end — its performance, its people, and its potential. This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain; it’s for someone who wants to transform. You’ll drive the transition to value-based care, lead a diverse team of clinic managers and providers, and create care experiences that patients remember for all the right reasons.

You’ll have real authority and real accountability: full P&L ownership, a seat at the strategic table, and the autonomy to design regional initiatives that move the needle.

Compensation

This position offers a salary of $140k+ annually, commensurate with experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package. Final compensation reflects the candidate’s background, qualifications, and alignment with the scope of the role.

What Sets You Apart

  • Builder mentality — you create, you don’t just manage
  • Thrives in ambiguity and leads others through uncertainty
  • Data-driven decision-making with a bias toward action
  • Entrepreneurial energy with a track record of initiating change
  • Exceptional communicator across all levels of an organization
  • Financially fluent — you translate numbers into operational strategy
  • Committed people developer who builds high-functioning teams
  • Deep healthcare knowledge with an eye on what’s coming next

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and execute region-specific objectives that advance corporate strategy
  • Attract and recruit medical providers across employment, partnership, or management models
  • Use predictive analytics, AI dashboards, and operational data to drive informed decisions
  • Supervise and develop clinic managers, nurse care coordinators, and physicians/APPs
  • Manage a regional budget with full P&L accountability and a focus on cost containment
  • Monitor local, state, and national healthcare shifts — then act on them proactively
  • Ensure compliance with Certified Rural Health Clinic (RHC) requirements
  • Ensure compliance with Patient Centered Medical Home (PCPCH) model standards
  • Drive successful execution of quality-based payment models
  • Represent Praxis Health with local and state agencies
  • Champion continuous improvement and innovative process adoption across your region
  • Develop and implement strategic initiatives in alignment with executive leadership

Qualifications

Minimum Education

Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration, Business Administration, Health Administration, or equivalent — or a licensed healthcare professional with relevant management experience.

Minimum Experience

5+ years managing employees in a clinic setting or equivalent; proven track record of leading teams through change and organizational development.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
