Interim Chief Ambulatory Officer
Start: ASAP | Duration: 3–6 Months (with potential extension)
Lead the Future of Ambulatory Care
Are you a seasoned ambulatory leader ready to step into a high-impact interim role at a large, mission-driven hospital in California? This organization is navigating a period of transformational change and seeks a strategic, hands-on Interim Chief Ambulatory Officer (CAO) to stabilize and elevate operations across a broad ambulatory footprint.
This is more than a stopgap assignment — it’s an opportunity to drive meaningful improvements in access, patient flow, clinic performance, and system alignment.
What You’ll Do
As Interim CAO:
- Lead and support multiple ambulatory service lines, including specialty and primary care clinics.
- Improve care coordination, operational efficiency, and throughput across the ambulatory enterprise.
- Partner with physician leadership and nursing to elevate performance, culture, and outcomes.
- Assess current structures and processes, recommending and implementing key improvements.
- Mentor and empower director-level clinic leaders and frontline teams.
- Contribute to strategic decisions that support both short-term stability and long-term growth.
What Sets This Role Apart
- Large-Scale Impact: Oversee operations across dozens of clinic sites serving diverse communities.
- Collaborative Culture: Work with forward-thinking executives who welcome expertise and fresh perspectives.
- Stability Meets Strategy: While the hospital seeks a permanent CAO, this role is critical for continuity and progress.
Who You Are
- A proven ambulatory operations leader, ideally at the executive or senior director level.
- Skilled in multi-site clinic management, operational turnarounds, and physician partnerships.
- Known for your ability to drive change, build trust, and get results.
- Previous interim experience is a plus, but not required.
