The Role

The Medical Manager, Clinical Operations, is a shoreside clinical leader responsible for supporting the safe, high-quality, and ethical delivery of medical care across the fleet. This is an entry-level role designed for a licensed physician transitioning from direct clinical practice into shoreside medical operations. The Medical Manager serves as a real-time clinical decision-support resource for shipboard medical teams, provides oversight of clinical quality and case management, participates in the company's 24/7 emergency medical support helpline response function, and travels to vessels to conduct medical training, audits, and other tasks as delegated.

Consistent with fleet medical governance, this position provides guidance, advice, and clinical decision-support to shipboard medical teams but does not make direct patient-care or treatment decisions. The final decision on the treatment of any patient, including the need to evacuate a patient, rests with the ship's treating doctor(s). The role combines clinical judgment, operational coordination, and stakeholder collaboration. The successful candidate will grow into progressively greater responsibility for fleet medical governance while receiving structured mentorship from senior medical managers and executive leadership.
