Senior Office Manager (Healthcare Operations) -Gilbert

About Therapy Tree

Therapy Tree is a fast-growing, multi-location pediatric therapy company providing speech, occupational, and physical therapy services across Arizona. We serve thousands of families each month and operate high-volume clinics with 148 therapists and seven locations. We are scaling into a platform organization with best-in-class systems, outcomes, and patient experience.

We are looking for Senior-level Office Managers who can take full ownership of clinic operations, team performance, and workflow execution.

Position Summary

The Senior Office Manager is responsible for running a busy outpatient therapy clinic like a business unit — ensuring smooth operations, high staff performance, and achievement of key metrics including utilization, scheduling efficiency, therapist productivity, and patient experience.

This is not an entry-level role. Candidates must have demonstrated experience managing teams, hitting numbers, resolving problems independently, and leading a clinic without daily oversight. The Senior Office Manager must be confident, emotionally steady, data-driven, solutions-oriented, and comfortable holding others accountable.

• Identify operational gaps and implement corrective action quickly and independently
• Staff Leadership & Accountability
• Directly supervise front desk staff and clinic assistants
• Partner with the Clinical Director to ensure therapists meet productivity and scheduling expectations
• Hold team members accountable to performance standards with consistency and professionalism
• Conduct coaching, performance improvement plans, and corrective actions when needed

• Billable hours
• No-show/cancellation rates
• Schedule utilization
• Patient flow and throughput
• Therapist productivity targets
• Monitor dashboards and take proactive action to correct trends
• Provide accurate, timely data and ensure the clinic hits monthly operational targets
• Scheduling & Capacity Management
• Ensure therapist schedules are filled to targeted levels and optimized daily
• Manage waitlists, cancellations, and capacity forecasting
• Collaborate with Recruiting, Scheduling, and Home Office teams to maintain staffing and appointment availability
• Patient Experience & Communication
• Ensure families receive exceptional customer service, clear communication, and timely follow-up
• Resolve escalated patient concerns with maturity and professionalism
• Maintain a welcoming, organized clinic environment
• Administrative & Technical Skills
• Use Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets proficiently (filters, pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, basic formulas)
• Manage clinic documentation accuracy
• Ensure completion of daily/weekly checklists, logs, and compliance tasks
• Use EMR and scheduling systems independently and accurately.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 4–7 years of leadership experience in healthcare, education, hospitality, or similar operational environments
• Proven ability to lead teams, enforce standards, and drive results
• Strong math and analytical skills — must be comfortable working with metrics and spreadsheets

• Ability to operate independently, make decisions, and anticipate needs without micromanagement
• High emotional intelligence with the ability to receive and give feedback constructively
