Description
We are seeking an experienced and strategic Director of Operations to lead and optimize all operational aspects of our growing organization. This executive-level role functions similarly to a Chief Operating Officer (COO) within a private practice environment and requires a hands-on leader capable of managing complex, multi-site healthcare operations.

- Partner closely with clinical leadership to align operational and clinical goals
- Collaborate with the Financial Controller on budgeting alignment and performance insights (no direct ownership of financial forecasting)
- Ensure regulatory compliance and best practices in healthcare operations
- Support strategic growth initiatives, including expansion and service line development
- Champion and strengthen organizational culture through leadership, engagement, and team development
Qualifications:
- Master’s degree required: Healthcare Administration (MHA) or MBA with Healthcare focus
- 7–10+ years of progressive leadership experience in healthcare operations
- Experience managing multi-site healthcare or dental organizations strongly preferred
- Membership or involvement with the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), New Hampshire chapter preferred
- Proven track record of scaling operations and leading large teams

- Exceptional leadership, communication, and organizational abilities

This is a rare opportunity to step into a top operational leadership role within a thriving private practice. You will have direct impact on organizational growth, culture, and patient care delivery while working alongside a dedicated and experienced clinical team.
