Job description

Lead a Mature, High-Performing Department

Nealy Pierce is recruiting an experienced Case Management Director (RN) for a well-loved, non-profit 700+ bed health system serving the coastal Southeast.

You will be well-supported by approximately 65 professionals including three (3) established managers across two hospital campuses.

Your Leadership Scope

• Complex placements and bed-availability escalations
• Relationships with skilled nursing, rehabilitation and home health partners
• Palliative Care coordination and Social Work services
• Care Coordination data, metrics and executive reporting

Why This Role Stands Out

• Mature department with experienced operational leadership in place
• Direct partnership with the Vice President of Medical Affairs
• Visibility with physicians and senior executives
• Opportunity to influence patient flow across an entire health system
• Up to $170,000 annually (DOE), with flexibility for an exceptional candidate
• Full relocation assistance
• Generous front-loaded PTO and executive benefits

Desired Background

• Active RN license
• Leadership experience in Case Management or Care Coordination within a large acute care environment
• Five to seven years of acute care experience, including three or more years in leadership
• Experience managing teams across multiple facilities
• Master’s degree required (BSN required with a non-nursing master’s degree)
• CCM certification preferred
