Modmed Jobs in Atlanta, GA (NOW HIRING)

About the Practice

The practice is a physician-owned, four-location dermatology and aesthetics practice serving the greater Atlanta area. The practice provides comprehensive medical dermatology, Mohs surgery, and a full-service aesthetics division, and continues to expand its clinical service lines and footprint. The practice is independently owned, with no private equity involvement.

Position Summary

The Chief Operating Officer serves as the senior-most administrative executive in the organization, reporting directly to the physician Owners. The COO holds full accountability for the operational and financial performance of all four clinics and the aesthetics division, leads the practice's management team, and partners with the Owners on strategic planning, growth initiatives, and major business decisions.

This position carries unusually broad authority for a practice of this size. The COO directs financial operations in partnership with the Controller, owns all vendor and contract relationships, oversees human resources, information technology, and facilities, and represents the practice with external partners including landlords, suppliers, and service providers. The successful candidate will be a versatile executive comfortable operating across every business function of the organization.
