THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE
Where Talent Meets Opportunity
Director of Surgical Services
Southeast
The department is stable. Staffing is solid. Core service lines are established.
What it needs now is leadership that raises the bar on culture, accountability, physician alignment, and operational performance.
What You’re Walking Into
- 10+ ORs with full perioperative scope: Pre-op, OR, PACU, SPD
- Strong nursing and tech base already in place
- Executive support from a dedicated CNO
- System-level backing, including a Regional Surgery Director who understands both the strategy and the local culture
This is not a turnaround.
It is an elevation.
Where You Will Make Impact
- Strengthen physician relationships and OR efficiency
- Improve throughput and block utilization
- Develop emerging leaders within the department
- Standardize best practices across perioperative services
- Align culture with accountability and measurable outcomes
You will have visibility with executive leadership and the authority to implement change that holds.
Who This Will Resonate With
- Experienced Surgical Services Directors ready for broader influence
- OR Managers who are already functioning at a Director level and want the seat
- Leaders who understand metrics, margin, and team engagement
Background
- RN and Bachelor’s required, Master’s preferred
- 3+ years of progressive leadership experience in Surgical Services/Perioperative Services
- Open to Manager-level candidates looking to move into a Director role
Competitive compensation and strong system resources.
If you are a perioperative leader who wants to shape a department instead of simply maintain it, this deserves a confidential conversation.
