The Manager of Practice Optimization will work in close partnership with the Director of Practice Optimization as well as the VP of Practice Optimization and the Practice Services Group to support the Specialty Practice Division's independent specialist partnership strategy. This role plays a critical part in supporting the operational integration and performance of practices post-transaction, contributing to diligence processes, project management, and the identification of opportunities for operational improvement.

While this position does not have direct reports, it requires strong cross-functional collaboration and an ability to influence without authority. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience in specialty practice operations, problem-solving skills, and a collaborative mindset to support both prospective and existing partner practices.

• Support Director of Practice Optimization and broader MSO operations team with diligence and integration activities for prospective practice partnerships.
• Assess operational readiness of partner practices, including leadership structure, workflows, systems, policies, and procedures.
• Collaborate with the MSO team to identify gaps, validate assumptions, and provide recommendations that support integration success and long-term practice performance.
• Participate in special projects and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing operational performance of practices.
• Build strong relationships with MSO leadership and assigned practice teams to support alignment and ensure a smooth transition into the MSO structure.
• Identify operational obstacles within partner practices and collaborate with appropriate internal stakeholders to propose and implement practical, scalable solutions.
• Assist in the development of deliverables and documentation that guide integration efforts, process improvements, and stakeholder communication.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in specialty practice operations.
• Experience working with independent physician practices; exposure to procedural specialties such as orthopaedics, cardiology, ENT, or urology preferred.
• Prior experience in or with a Management Services Organization (MSO) or similar entity providing services to physician practices.
• Demonstrated ability to support or collaborate with development and integration teams during transactional processes.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build trust and credibility with diverse stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel up to 40% or more, as needed.
• Highly organized, solutions-focused, and proactive in approach.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities.
