About the Job
You will run surgical operations at our Butler, PA site, owning the day-to-day flow from presurgical workup through case completion. This is a hands-on manager role for someone who wants to be on the floor, not behind a desk.

iOR Partners is building the office-based surgery model for ophthalmology, bringing surgical capability directly into practices instead of routing patients to hospital ORs or traditional ASC's. It's a real shift in how cataract and ophthalmic surgery gets delivered, and this role puts you at the center of executing it! You will be our extension at this site - the local owner of clinical execution, compliance, and team performance backed by centralized teams in revenue cycle, accreditation, materials management, and provider relations.

This role is a strong fit for someone with ophthalmic surgical or ASC operations experience in ophthalmology who wants more ownership and a clear path toward broader operational leadership.

What You'll Own
Surgical day execution

• Run daily surgical operations: scheduling, patient flow, room turnover, and on-time case starts.
• Drive throughout and minimize downtime by tightening the schedule and removing
• friction between clinical and surgical teams.
• Step in clinically when patient flow demands it to perform pre-surgical diagnostics, workups, and testing coordination (biometry, topography, OCT, visual fields).

• Make sure clinical findings translate cleanly into surgical planning so cases are ready when the surgeon walks in.Compliance and accreditation

• Coordinate OSHA, HIPAA, and state and federal compliance at the site.
• Lead accreditation readiness and maintenance (QUAD A/AAAASF, or TJC where applicable), including audits, documentation, and survey preparation.
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation across all surgical cases within our EHR.

Team and site leadership

• Coordinate, train, and oversee surgical personnel on-site (specific scope depends on the site model).
• Serve as the on-site point of contact across iOR's centralized teams: revenue cycle, accreditation, compliance, materials management, and provider relations.
• Track and improve operational performance including utilization, efficiency, and patient experience.

Growth and referrals

• Partner with our Provider Relations Manager on optometric outreach: build and maintain relationships with referring optometrists and represent the practice in market.
• Work with our materials management team on inventory, vendor coordination, and cost control.
• Collaborate with revenue cycle on documentation and reimbursement workflows so clinical operations and billing stay aligned.

What We're Looking For
Required

• 3+ years in ophthalmic surgical operations, an ASC, or office-based surgery.

• Experience managing or coordinating teams in a clinical or surgical environment.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, as well as the judgment to know when to step in versus when to escalate.
• Based locally in the Butler, PA market. This is an on-site role.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.
