Strong candidates will be good listeners and naturally empathetic, creating a collaborative and supportive environment that fosters professional growth and exceptional performance.

· Drive practice P&L: Be accountable for growing existing practices and minimizing expenses so as to maximize profitability

· Implement Operational Standards: Establish, communicate, and enforce policies, practices, and standards to maintain consistent, efficient, and effective operations across all teams. Embed best practices into EMR workflows where possible.

· Troubleshoot and Resolve Issues: Proactively address operational challenges, including equipment issues, patient complaints, inefficiencies, and workplace conflicts, ensuring smooth and continuous operations.

· Own Healthcare Compliance Protocols: Ensure that all practices not only meet but exceed the latest regulatory healthcare standards, maintaining a culture of compliance and safety across the organization.
