About Premier Inpatient Partners
Premier Inpatient Partners is Florida's leading physician-owned and operated hospitalist group. Founded in Naples with a mission to transform the hospital experience, we provide 24/7 acute and post-acute care across major healthcare systems. Unlike large corporate staffing firms, we are an independent, "family-feel" practice where clinical excellence and operational efficiency go hand-in-hand. We are now looking for an administrative innovator to help us pioneer the next phase of healthcare operations.
Position Overview
We are seeking a tech-forward HR & Operations Associate to support our growing administrative team. This is a dual-focus role: you will manage essential daily functions for our providers while actively learning to map our business processes and optimize them using Artificial Intelligence.
We do not require a background in engineering, we require strong operational experience and a drive to replace manual workflows with automated, AI-driven solutions.
Key Responsibilities
1. Process Mapping & Optimization
Audit Workflows: Document current operational steps for credentialing, provider onboarding, and shift scheduling.
Identify Inefficiencies: Pinpoint manual bottlenecks and repetitive tasks suitable for automation.
Develop AI Solutions: Research and configure AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to streamline these workflows (e.g., drafting policy updates, summarizing clinical data, cleaning rosters).
Act as the company’s AI champion by trying out new tools, helping team members learn to use them, and making sure they blend smoothly into everyday workflows.
Contribute to building long-term AI systems that improve accuracy, speed, and overall operational efficiency.
2. Human Resources & Operations Support
Provider Onboarding: Coordinate credentialing logistics and maintain accurate provider files to ensure our physicians are ready to work without delay.
HR Administration: Assist with policy maintenance, benefits coordination, and compliance tracking.
Operational Execution: Support provider scheduling and daily administrative logistics to ensure 24/7 coverage.
Support payroll activities by verifying hours and preparing the necessary information for accurate and timely processing.
Maintain strong attention to detail, protect confidential information, and provide responsive support across all HR and operational duties.
Qualifications
Experience: 3–7 years in Human Resources, Operations, or Healthcare Administration.
Tech-Curiosity: Demonstrated interest in technology and AI. You are an "early adopter" who actively seeks tools to work faster.
Process Mindset: Naturally organized with the ability to create clear checklists, SOPs, and process maps.
Healthcare Knowledge: Familiarity with hospitalist operations, credentialing, or HIPAA compliance is strongly preferred.
