Nurse Manager — Concierge Medicine

About the Role

Lead nursing in one of San Francisco's most personalized medical practices. This is an opportunity for a nurse leader who wants to step away from the pace and complexity of traditional hospital medicine and into a more thoughtful model of care—one built around long-term patient relationships, clinical excellence, collaboration, and time to do things well.

At Private Medical, our physicians care for a deliberately limited number of members, allowing our teams to know patients deeply and provide highly personalized, relationship-centered care. Our San Francisco practice is an established, sophisticated medical environment where nurses work closely with physicians and other clinicians to deliver an exceptional experience at every point of care.

We are looking for a leader who is equally passionate about people and clinical excellence—someone who can develop a strong nursing team, maintain rigorous clinical standards, and help create an environment where excellent nurses want to build their careers.

Why This Role is Different

• Lead and develop a talented team of RNs, MAs, and CPTs
• Build strong, lasting relationships with patients, physicians, and colleagues
• Partner closely with physicians and site leadership on clinical care and practice improvement
• Establish and maintain a culture of patient safety and clinical excellence
• Develop your team through coaching, mentoring, feedback, and professional development
• Improve clinical workflows and introduce thoughtful, evidence-based practices
• Help shape how nursing operates within a growing, physician-led organization
• Work in an environment where quality of care matters more than volume
• Become part of a team that values professionalism, curiosity, collaboration, and exceptional service
