Operations Director

THE BEST CARE STARTS WITH THE BEST PEOPLE. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

We're partners. Partners with each other and partners with our patients. Helping people feel safe, comfortable, trusted, and confident. Guided by a sense of compassion, generosity, and protectiveness, we focus on empowering others with the knowledge they need to be the very best version of themselves.

Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Mayfair Diagnostics has been helping people find clarity for their health for over 100 years. At our clinics in Calgary and area and Saskatchewan, our team of radiologists, technologists, and support staff work in a truly integrated way to provide exceptional experiences for our patients. Joining our team is more than a job. It's an investment in your future, a plan for success.

Position Purpose
The Operations team supports the overall mission and goals of Mayfair Diagnostics. Mayfair Diagnostics' mission is to provide the highest quality of diagnostic services to our patients, in partnership with hospitals and community practitioners. This is achieved through attracting and developing outstanding clinical and support staff, investing in state-of-the-art technology, and improving access by leveraging our digital infrastructure and multijurisdictional clinic network.

Reporting to the Executive Committee, the Director of Operations provides senior level operations oversight, leadership, delivery, and support. This role will require the candidate to work closely with the head office operations team as well as the clinical operations managers and modality coordinators. Critically, the Director will need to develop a close understanding of the roles managers and coordinators play in the running of the organization to help develop and facilitate ideal employee role designations and operational processes while eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy and role duplication. The Director will also contribute to Mayfair as an important member of the administrative Leadership Team, guidance from which is key to ongoing organizational success.

As the Director gains familiarity with the organization, it may be required they come to oversee the Customer Contact Centre and the Radiologist/Teleradiology Operations Department. Should this occur, it will be done gradually and organically, as these two entities already benefit from effective managers guiding competent teams. Such oversight is expected to promote common purpose, help adhere to a shared strategy and culture, and foster collaboration between groups.

Reporting
The Director of Operations is a member of the Leadership Team and reports to the Executive Committee.
