About the Role

The Director of Specialty Operations serves as the operational leader for an assigned clinical specialty within Schweiger’s multi-state platform and as the enterprise subject matter expert on how that specialty operates. The position is accountable for the specialty's performance, including budget, expense, revenue, provider productivity, and recruitment objectives, and for building the organizational capability required to operate and scale that specialty across the clinic network. The work is performed in clinics by teams that do not report to this position, so the Director achieves objectives through structured cross-functional partnership and by developing field leaders who own day-to-day execution.

The Director advocates for the specialty across the enterprise, ensures supporting functions have what they need, and ensures the specialty’s requirements are reflected in evolving enterprise processes. Assignments are portable by design, leading a specialty through build, development, and integration phases until operational maturity, then transitioning to the next priority.

The first assignment is the allergy specialty, which is established and performing, moving from its build phase into deeper integration across the organization. The focus is embedding the specialty into everyday field operations so General Managers and Regional Managers lead it as part of their core business.

Responsibilities

• Hold accountability for the assigned specialty's budget, expense, revenue, and productivity targets.
• Own specialty metrics and P&L reporting in partnership with the Sr. Vice President, establishing consistent, repeatable reporting standards.
• Identify performance variances by region, office, and provider, and drive corrective action through operational owners.
• Define the specialty's operating standards and criteria for successful performance at the clinic level.
• Develop General Managers and Regional Managers to a level of specialty acumen allowing them to lead independently within their clinics and regions.
• Partner with clinical leadership, training, and operations to build the specialty’s education curriculum, standard operating procedures, and reference materials, focusing on field adoption.
• Establish and measure field acumen benchmarks in partnership with Operations Vice Presidents.
• Serve as the development and escalation resource for General Managers and Regional Managers.
• Maintain expert-level command of the specialty’s operating model, workflow, staffing, supply chain, documentation, coding, regulatory obligations, and growth levers.
• Partner with clinical leadership on protocols, quality standards, and provider-facing guidance, ensuring operational design supports them.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for integration, workflow development, and enterprise initiatives touching the specialty.
• Translate specialty requirements into actionable specifications for non-specialty functions.
• Advise executive leadership on specialty strategy, investment, and operational risk.
• Build and scale the specialty through cross-functional partnerships, including Clinical Leadership, Integration, Finance, Revenue Cycle Management, Marketing, Training, Talent Acquisition, Business Development, Legal/Compliance, and IT.
• Scope, build, and launch new services within the assigned specialty.
• Develop operating documentation, including SOPs, workflows, and role definitions.
• Define the specialty’s growth roadmap and operational requirements.
• Evolve specialty workflows based on performance, compliance, or scale needs.
• Lead centralized teams and programs required by the specialty (e.g., laboratory operations, coordinator programs).
• Build and execute transition plans for centralized functions as the specialty reaches maturity.
