Summary:

Lead a team that makes a difference for patients and families during some of the most important-and sometimes most challenging-moments of their lives.

We are seeking an experienced and engaged Patient Services Manager II to lead our clinical team at UNC Maternal Fetal Medicine in Raleigh.

Our MFM practice provides specialized care for patients experiencing high-risk and medically complex pregnancies. This is a unique leadership opportunity for a nurse who enjoys building strong teams, improving the way care is delivered, and creating an environment where both patients and staff feel supported.

What You'll Do

As the Patient Services Manager II, you will provide day-to-day clinical and operational leadership for our MFM nursing and clinical support teams. You'll partner closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, nursing leadership, and other members of the interdisciplinary team to ensure safe, efficient, patient-centered care.

In this role, you will:

• Lead, coach, and support nurses and clinical support staff, fostering a culture of teamwork, accountability, professional growth, and respect.
• Oversee daily clinical operations and help ensure appropriate staffing and workflow across the practice.
• Recruit, orient, develop, and retain an engaged and highly skilled team.
• Support staff through coaching, mentoring, performance management, and ongoing professional development.
• Promote high standards for patient safety, quality, service, and the patient experience.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, access, efficiency, and coordination of care.
• Partner with clinical and operational leaders on practice initiatives and organizational priorities.
• Support three sub-specialty clinic nurse navigators (Fetal Care, Diabetes, and Cardio-Obstetric/PAS programs)

Why Maternal Fetal Medicine?

MFM is a dynamic specialty that combines advanced clinical care, close interdisciplinary collaboration, patient education, and long-term relationships with patients and families.

Our patients may be navigating complicated pregnancies, chronic medical conditions, unexpected diagnoses, or significant uncertainty. Excellent MFM care requires not only clinical expertise, but also communication, coordination, compassion, and teamwork. The Patient Services Manager plays an important role in making all of that possible.

Our clinic is located in Raleigh, NC near UNC Health Rex Hospital. This position requires management of a specialty clinic at UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill one day a week.
