🏢 About the Role

Our client operates a specialized hair restoration clinic providing consultations and surgical hair transplant procedures, alongside a prescribing, lab testing, and vitality platform serving clinical practices nationwide.

Led by a physician-founder who personally oversees all clinical care and surgical procedures, the organization is currently undergoing operational expansion and relocating to a new office. With a growing support team and an extensive network of remote contractors handling marketing, creative production, and patient-related content, the business needs a dependable operational partner to keep everything running smoothly.

As the Executive Assistant to the physician-founder, you will take ownership of the clinic's non-clinical administrative, logistical, and patient-facing operations. Your responsibilities will cover everything from managing incoming calls, coordinating patient consultations and procedures, maintaining CRM records, handling pharmacy orders, and overseeing clinical inventory to supporting executive priorities and digital marketing workflows.

This is an admin-first and patient-facing position that requires exceptional organizational skills, strong customer service, and the ability to manage multiple workflows independently.

You will also have the opportunity to leverage AI tools like Claude to improve processes, build automations, and document recurring workflows into standardized operating procedures (SOPs), helping create a scalable operational system as the business continues to grow.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

• 📞 Phones & Scheduling: Serve as the primary responder for incoming calls through the softphone system, aiming to answer within two rings. Manage patient consultations, procedures, and treatment schedules through Acuity and Google Calendar. Conduct 48-hour and 24-hour appointment confirmations, verify deposits, and join patient video calls when needed.

• 📋 CRM & Patient Pipeline Management: Track prospective patients from initial advertising or website inquiries through consultations and procedures using Zoho CRM. Maintain complete patient records, including lead sources, treatment plans, and amounts. Create patient folders in Dropbox and set up accounts within the vitality portal.

• 💳 Post-Consultation & Administrative Processing: Coordinate quotes with the sales team and front desk. For patients ready to book, prepare invoices, verify financing through CareCredit, Cherry, or PatientFi, collect deposits, preload prescriptions through RXNT, and send patient intake forms.

• 🏥 Post-Procedure Patient Support: Follow up with patients regarding recovery progress, post-procedure instructions, medications, and upcoming appointments. Immediately escalate medical concerns or clinical questions to the doctor.

• 💊 Pharmacy Operations & Coordination: Process prescription orders through digital portals such as Pure, Empower, and VPI, as well as compounding pharmacies. Track shipments and assist patients with pharmacy portal access and order-related inquiries.

• 📸 Patient Photos, Video & Marketing Coordination: Review daily Dropbox uploads, match patient photos to the correct records, and maintain organized photo documentation. Coordinate creative production workflows involving face-swapping contractors, image editors, and videographers. Maintain Canva templates, social media schedules, and marketing tracking sheets.

• 🤝 Vendor & Meeting Coordination: Liaise with marketing partners, specialty vendors, and external contractors. Attend meetings, prepare minutes, track action items, and ensure the founder's pending reviews and tasks are completed.

• 📦 Inventory & Invoice Management: Monitor clinical inventory and order supplies through Henry Schein and other vendors. Organize vendor invoices and payment deadlines for the founder's review and prepare regular financial and Zoho KPI reports.

• 📅 Executive & Personal Assistance: Manage and prioritize the founder's inbox, coordinate professional and personal/family calendar events, and handle personal purchasing requests when needed. Maintain daily communication and coordination through Slack.

• 🤖 AI & SOP Development: Use Claude daily for problem-solving, drafting, workflow improvements, and marketing or operational automations. Document recurring processes into clear, standardized SOPs to support consistency and future team expansion.
