Registered Nurse Clinic Manager

HealthPartners is hiring a Registered Nurse Clinic Manager, Advanced Care Primary Care. This position provides overall direction and management of care delivery and support operations at assigned location(s) in partnership with the Chief of Professional Services and department leaders. Responsible for ensuring clinic staff provides high quality, accessible, cost effective and patient focused services. Collaborates with physicians and other health care providers to establish, implement and maintain patient care and quality service standards to meet members’ and patients’ expectations. Partner with the clinic medical director, Regional Clinic Director and the leadership team at the site to identify clinic priorities and initiatives in support of the mission and goals of HealthPartners. Work in collaboration with other primary, specialty, ancillary care and pharmacy supervisors, managers and directors to ensure the experience is seamless for the patient.

This role is seeking a highly operational leader who can bring structure, consistency, and strategic direction to a newer care model that is still being defined. While the program has experienced strong growth, each clinic has historically operated somewhat independently, creating variation in workflows, communication, and day-to-day operations. The ideal candidate will have experience leading through change, creating alignment across multiple sites, and implementing standardized operational practices while maintaining strong relationships with diverse teams.

This position requires a leader who can move beyond project coordination and effectively translate organizational priorities into frontline execution. Successful candidates will have demonstrated experience taking strategic goals, financial targets, and operational initiatives and turning them into meaningful action through training, communication, accountability, and ongoing team engagement.

Strong operational leadership experience is considered essential. Experience overseeing multiple clinics, large ambulatory practices, value-based care programs, home-based care models, or other complex healthcare operations will be highly valued. While primary care experience is helpful, it is not required. Candidates with experience in value-based care, population health, home-based medicine, complex care management, or innovative care delivery models may be particularly successful in this environment.
