Position summary

Austin Cardiology Clinic, PLLC is hiring a full-time Cardiovascular Nurse Manager to lead clinical operations for our office-based lab (OBL) and outpatient cardiology clinic in Austin, Texas. This is a hands-on leadership/clinical hybrid role: you will run the medical assistant team, own pre-and post-procedure nursing care for our peripheral vascular and cardiac procedures, and be the clinical point of contact for patient questions.

Team leadership

• Supervise, schedule, and train medical assistants; run daily huddles and set clear expectations for rooming, vitals, ECGs, and workflow
• Onboard new MAs, verify competencies, and conduct performance reviews
• Serve as the go-to person when the day goes sideways: add-ons, staff call-outs, delayed cases, equipment issues

OBL pre-procedure

• Conduct pre-procedure phone calls and visits: history, medication reconciliation, allergy and contrast review, and patient education
• Manage anticoagulant and antiplatelet holds and resumption per physician orders; flag diabetes medications and renal function (GFR) for contrast risk
• Confirm labs, consents, H&P, NPO status, transportation, and prior authorizations are complete before the procedure day

OBL post-procedure

• Monitor patients in recovery: vitals, access site checks (femoral, radial, pedal), distal pulses, bleeding and hematoma surveillance
• Apply and manage closure devices and manual compression per protocol; recognize and elevate complications
• Deliver discharge teaching, then make next-day follow-up calls and track wound and access site concerns

Patient communication

• Triage and return patient calls and portal messages: symptoms, medication questions, test results, and post-procedure concerns
• Escalate urgent issues to the physician the same day; document every contact in the EHR

Clinic and OBL operations

• Maintain clinical supply and device inventory, crash cart checks, and equipment maintenance logs
• Keep the OBL survey-ready: infection control, emergency drills, policies and procedures, and accreditation standards
• Coordinate the procedure schedule with front desk, scheduling, and billing so cases, authorizations, and charges line up
• Track quality metrics (complications, same-day discharges, follow-up completion) and suggest process improvements

Qualifications

Required

• Active, unrestricted Texas RN license (or multistate compact license)
• Current BLS and ACLS
• 3+ years of acute care, procedural, or cardiology nursing experience. Previous OBL experience a plus
• 1+ year in a charge nurse, lead, or supervisory role
• Experience with conscious/moderate sedation monitoring and post-procedure recovery
• Proficiency with an EHR and comfort learning new scheduling and practice-management software

Preferred

• Cath lab, IR, OBL, ASC, or cardiovascular PACU experience
• Knowledge of peripheral arterial and venous disease, limb salvage, and common vascular procedures (angiography, atherectomy, stenting, venous ablation)
• BSN; CVRN, PCCN, or CCRN certification
• Familiarity with OBL or ASC accreditation surveys and regulatory compliance
• Bilingual English/Spanish

Who thrives here

• Personable: patients and families feel at ease with you, and referring offices like dealing with you
• Highly motivated: you see what needs doing and do it without waiting to be asked
• A natural leader: you coach, hold people accountable, and earn your team's respect by working alongside them
• Exceptionally organized: you build checklists and systems so nothing depends on memory
• Calm under pressure: you prioritize clearly when a patient, a case, and a staffing gap all need attention at once
• Growth-minded: you want to help build a growing practice, not just maintain one

Schedule, compensation, and benefits

Schedule: Monday-Friday daytime hours. No nights, weekends, or holidays; occasional early starts or late finishes on procedure days.

Compensation: Based on experience

Benefits: Medical insurance, paid time off, retirement plan
