Administrative Manager: Radiology

About the role

Radiology at St. Jude isn’t a traditional hospital department; our teams work across clinical care and research in a highly collaborative environment where discoveries can move from bench to bedside, and strong operations help make that work possible. We’re looking for an Administrative Manager who can bring people, processes, and priorities together to help a complex, dynamic department do its best work. This role sits at the center of things: building relationships across specialties, asking the right questions, creating structure where needed, and turning many moving pieces into a clear path forward. You’ll partner closely with departmental leadership and teams across St. Jude, with visibility into both the clinical and research sides of Radiology. You’ll lead key administrative and operational functions for the department, including resource coordination, process improvement, program support, vendor relationships and contracts, and administrative operations. Just as importantly, you’ll help lead the people behind that work — coaching and developing team members, strengthening collaboration, and creating the systems and processes that allow the department to operate effectively. Why this role is different: you don’t need to be a radiology expert; you need to be an excellent operator and people leader energized by complexity. At St. Jude, Radiology sits at a particularly interesting intersection of research and clinical care, offering the opportunity to help shape the operations behind work that spans disciplines, supports both researchers and clinicians, and ultimately contributes to the St. Jude mission.
