ASC Administrator – High-Volume Multispecialty Surgery Center (Houston, TX)
A leading national surgery center operator is hiring an ASC Administrator (Ambulatory Surgery Center Administrator) to run one of its busiest multispecialty centers in the Houston area. This full-time surgery center leadership role offers a base salary of $110,000 to $155,000, plus annual and quarterly incentive bonus plans and relocation consideration.
- Job title: ASC Administrator / Surgery Center Administrator
- Location: Houston, TX
- Job type: Full-time, permanent
- Base salary: $110,000 – $155,000
- Incentives: Annual performance bonus and quarterly growth bonus plans
- Relocation: Consideration offered for out-of-area candidates
The Opportunity You’ll take the helm of a well-run, profitable ambulatory surgery center and own its results end to end: operations, finances, people, quality and growth. The seat is open only because the current leader is moving to another market within the organization, so you’ll inherit a stable team and engaged physician owners.
The Center
- Hospital-affiliated joint venture between a major health system and its physician partners, managed day to day by our client
- Accredited by The Joint Commission
- 4 operating rooms and 2 procedure rooms performing roughly 700 cases a month
- 21 physician partners and a team of 39
- GI-led case mix, with pain, general surgery, urology, ENT, orthopedics and gynecology
- Strong financial footing and clear room to add surgeons and service lines
Why This Role Stands Out
- Growth runway: Volume is healthy and still climbing, and leadership sees openings to recruit physicians and add specialties.
- Clinical partner on site: A Clinical Director runs nursing and clinical care, which frees you to focus on the business and the medical staff.
- Real upside: Quarterly bonuses reward case growth over budget, on top of an annual incentive that can pay above target.
- National backing: You’ll have a corporate support team behind you for finance, HR, compliance and best practices.
ASC Administrator Responsibilities
- Running the surgery center’s business, clinical support and administrative functions every day
- Partnering with the board of managers and medical staff, and reporting to regional leadership
- Keeping the center survey-ready and compliant with state, federal and accreditation requirements
- Building and hitting the operating, labor and capital budgets
- Tracking financial and operational results and fixing problems early
- Hiring, developing and holding the team accountable, and planning staffing to volume
- Growing physician loyalty and overseeing credentialing and medical staff affairs
- Negotiating and managing vendor, service and physician agreements
- Driving patient safety, infection prevention, quality and patient satisfaction
- Finding new cases, new surgeons and new service lines
Who We’re Looking For You are a proven ASC Administrator or Surgery Center Director, or a hospital director (or above) who has led perioperative or surgical services and worked with surgery centers.
Must Have
- Three or more years in a senior healthcare leadership role
- Full P&L or budget ownership with a record of meeting or beating targets
- Strong, trusted relationships with surgeons and clinical leaders
- A bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience
Nice to Have
- RN or other clinical background (not required, given the on-site Clinical Director)
- A master’s degree in healthcare or business administration (MHA, MBA)
- Experience growing case volume and recruiting physicians
- A track record of building a positive, accountable culture
