Operations Coordinator

MISSION

Kheir’s mission is to increase and provide access to culturally and linguistically-sensitive quality primary healthcare and human services support to the underserved and uninsured residents of Southern California.

ASSIGNMENT SUMMARY

Kheir Clinic seeks a disciplined and service-minded Operations Coordinator to work directly with the CEO. This individual will support executive functions, contribute to key initiatives, and be exposed to all dimensions of clinic operations—clinical, administrative, financial, and policy. The Coordinator will serve as a close observer, information gatherer, and thought partner. With proximity to the CEO, the Board, senior leadership, policymakers, donors, and media, this role provides rare access to internal and external decision-makers and insight into the drivers of an innovative, mission-focused healthcare organization. This role blends high-level analysis with day-to-day operational execution. The Coordinator will be responsible for reviewing complex documents, preparing highlights, supporting project development, assisting with internal communications, and relaying the CEO’s priorities as directed. Equally important, the Coordinator will embrace hands-on responsibilities—such as setting up meetings, coordinating hospitality, and assisting with guest experiences—reflecting the values of humility, reliability, and team service.

This is an ideal pathway for an ambitious individual seeking future leadership opportunities in either clinical or administrative healthcare roles.
