$2000.00 Signing Bonus! Lead a High-Performing Ophthalmic Surgical Team

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.

What You’ll Lead

Operational Excellence

• Own daily ASC operations: surgical schedule, staffing models, room turnover, vendor coordination, and real-time issue resolution
• Maintain smooth, on-time case flow with zero compromise on safety

Team Leadership

• Build, coach, and retain a strong perioperative team across pre-op, OR, PACU, and sterile processing
• Set clear expectations, reinforce standards, and hold accountability

Clinical Quality & Safety

• Drive a robust, data-driven QAPI program
• Lead infection prevention, risk management, and incident follow-up
  Reduce variation and close gaps before they become problems

Sterilization & Infection Prevention

• Ensure airtight instrument reprocessing and infection prevention workflows
• Maintain continuous readiness- not reactive, fixed

Regulatory & Survey Readiness

• Maintain compliance with CMS Conditions for Coverage, accreditation standards, and Washington ASC regulations

Physician & Financial Partnership

• Serve as the operational counterpart to surgeons- anticipating needs and standardizing where it matters
• Partner with leadership on labor management, supply chain discipline, and budget performance

• Familiarity with ophthalmic instrumentation, lasers, microscopes, and surgeon workflow needs

Core Strengths

• Clear, confident communicator
