Ambulatory Surgery Center; ASC Manager

Description

Are you a clinically grounded ASC leader who runs a tight operation - calm, disciplined, and survey-ready every day? Do you keep surgeons moving, patients safe, and teams engaged without chaos or guesswork?

Northwest Eyes is seeking an experienced ASC Manager (RN) to lead our high-performance ophthalmic Ambulatory Surgery Center in Seattle.

Northwest Eyes is a nationally recognized ophthalmic medical and surgical practice known for advanced technology, specialty expertise, and exceptional patient outcomes. We believe operational excellence starts with accountability, clarity, and a culture where people are respected and heard.

This role is built for someone who already understands ASC leadership- and knows that readiness, quality, and culture are not projects, but systems.

Physician & Financial Partnership
