The Director – Centre Operations will lead the day-to-day functioning of the centre with a primary mandate of operations and execution. You will lead a multidisciplinary team of approximately 20-25 people comprising doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, technicians, supportive staff, administrative and marketing personnel. Business continuity is the mandate, and Business development is a secondary responsibility and is expected to evolve through operational excellence, relationships and patient satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations and ensure seamless execution across all services.
• Drive operational efficiency, SOP implementation, process excellence and continuous quality improvement.
• Recruit, develop and retain high-performing teams; build a strong hiring pipeline and professional network to support future growth.
• Manage and motivate diverse teams including doctors, paramedical staff, support services, administration and marketing.
• Supervise marketing execution and ensure initiatives translate into measurable outcomes.

What VAAYU needs/What Will Make You Successful in This Role

A dependable, high-integrity professional with experience in healthcare operations or hospital administration who enjoys execution and ground-level excellence. You should be meticulous, process-oriented and organised, with excellent communication skills in English and Kannada. You take ownership, follow through, develop people, earn respect, solve problems and enjoy making systems work better every day.

Specific Points – Please Read Carefully Before Applying

We are looking for a long-term team member who enjoys building people, systems and organisations.

• This is a hands-on execution role. It involves working closely with doctors, patients and staff every day. If you are primarily looking for a strategic, desk-based or corporate management role, this position is unlikely to be the right fit.
• At VAAYU, we value sincerity, integrity, ownership, meticulous execution and follow-through far more than polished presentations or management jargon.
• Applicants should have sufficient experience in healthcare operations or hospital administration with demonstrated responsibility for leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering measurable operational outcomes.
• We read every application carefully. Thoughtful applications that demonstrate genuine interest in the role are greatly appreciated.
