Practice Operations Manager, Neurology

About the Job

We are partnered with a confidential neurology practice in the Greater Los Angeles area on the search for its inaugural Operations Manager. Led by one of LA's most prominent and respected neurologists - trained at a top academic medical center - this practice has built a distinguished reputation for delivering compassionate, evidence-based neurologic care to patients across Greater Los Angeles.

The founding physician is at an exciting inflection point: the practice is growing, and he is ready to bring on a trusted operational partner who will learn the business from the ground up - directly under his mentorship - and help build the infrastructure to support future expansion, including the opening of additional locations.

This is not a "manage the status quo" role. This is a career-defining opportunity for an operationally sharp, patient-centric leader who wants to grow into a senior operations executive alongside one of LA's most respected physicians.

The Mandate

The physician is clear about who will thrive in this role - and who will not.

He is not looking for someone who needs to reinvent the wheel or impose new systems on day one. He is not looking for a bureaucrat or someone who manages from a distance.

He is seeking an operator-learner: someone grounded in healthcare operations, eager to absorb existing systems and processes, and energized by the challenge of running a high-touch, patient-centered practice with excellence. The right person will earn trust quickly, grow into the go-to operational voice of the practice, and ultimately help shape its next chapter of growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and oversee day-to-day practice operations - scheduling, patient flow, billing coordination, compliance, and facilities
• Absorb and master existing systems, workflows, and processes before driving optimization or change
• Manage human resources functions including recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and staff development
• Support and execute marketing initiatives to grow the practice's patient base and community presence
• Partner with the founding physician on financial oversight including budgeting, expense management, and revenue cycle performance
• Serve as the primary point of contact for vendors, insurance partners, and external stakeholders
• Champion a culture of compassion and responsiveness - ensuring every patient touchpoint reflects the practice's commitment to exceptional care
• Collaborate with the founding physician on strategic planning and operational groundwork for future practice expansion

Ideal Profile

• Hands-on operations experience in a medical practice, outpatient clinic, care facility, physical therapy practice, or similar healthcare environment
• Solid foundation in practice administration - scheduling, staffing, compliance, billing cycles, and day-to-day operational execution
• A learner's mindset: eager to understand how things work before proposing change
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced clinical setting
• Genuine commitment to patient-centered care and a people-first approach to team leadership
• Entrepreneurial energy paired with operational discipline - you want to build something, not just maintain it
• Clear desire to grow into a Senior Operations Manager or Director of Operations role as the practice scales
• Ambition to be part of - and eventually help lead - the opening of new practice locations

Location & Work Model

• Full-time, on-site
