Join the Nation’s Largest Urgent Care Network  At American Family Care (AFC), we’re not just leading urgent care - we’re redefining it. With the largest network of urgent care centers in the U.S., we set the standard for patient access, safety, and care quality. Now, we’re looking for a Director of Operations to take the helm of our largest and most visible region, overseeing 20–60 centers and a team of Regional Managers.  This is more than a leadership role - it’s a chance to shape the future of urgent care. You’ll inherit a strong foundation, but also a blank canvas: a system ready for change, standardization, and optimization. If you’re a healthcare operations leader who thrives on driving results and leading transformation, this is your opportunity to leave a legacy.   Why This Role Matters As Director of Operations, you will: 

• Lead Regional Managers and guide Center Administrators across a multi-state footprint. 
• Own P&L performance and ensure financial and operational outperformance. 
• Standardize and implement best practices in quality, compliance, and patient safety. 
• Act as the “strategic executor” - turning vision into action across multiple markets. 
• Play a visible role in our Birmingham core market, home to AFC’s corporate operations. 

This role offers high visibility with executive leadership, a broad span of control, and the ability to directly impact patient care, financial performance, and culture.   What You’ll Bring 

• 7–10 years of progressive, multi-site operations leadership (healthcare or related services strongly preferred). 
• Experience leading leaders (Regional/Area Managers and their teams). 
• Proven success in P&L ownership, budget management, and operational reporting. 
• Expertise in change management and executing system-wide initiatives. 
• A compliance and quality mindset, with experience in auditing, accreditation, or patient safety programs. 
• Strong presence: articulate, polished, and able to inspire trust across all levels. 

Locations 

• Preferred: Birmingham, Alabama (close to corporate HQ and core market) 
• Also acceptable: Tennessee (Nashville area) or Florida Panhandle 
• Relocation: Required if not currently residing in the above listed locations

Why Join AFC? 

• Largest urgent care provider in the U.S. - unmatched scale and reach. 
• High visibility role with direct impact on centers of excellence. 
• Blank canvas for change - drive standardization, optimization, and growth. 
• Less bureaucracy, more impact - the ability to execute change quickly. 
• Culture of engagement and accountability where your leadership makes the difference.
