Your role

As a Practice Director – Operational Readiness, you are a senior leader responsible for driving growth, delivery excellence, and capability development within your area of practice, with a focus on healthcare environments. You lead strategic accounts and complex operational readiness initiatives, ensuring strong financial performance, high-quality outcomes, and client satisfaction across clinical and operational settings.

You act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, shaping delivery, resourcing, and operational readiness strategies while proactively identifying risks and opportunities across your portfolio.

  • Shape and contribute to business development, including strategic pursuits, account planning, and market intelligence
  • Establish and continuously improve delivery methodologies, quality standards, and best practices (QMS) including the developing of standardized tools and processes.
  • Coach and develop senior and intermediate practitioners, building high-performing, collaborative teams
  • Provide expert guidance to stakeholders, influencing decisions on delivery, resourcing, and operational readiness strategy

  • Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop senior-level professionals
  • Established industry network and active engagement in relevant professional or trade associations
  • Professional Healthcare designation is considered a strong asset
  • Exceptional leadership, stakeholder management, and strategic thinking skills

At Colliers Project Leaders, we’re not looking for “perfect matches.” We’re looking to welcome people to our diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. So, if you’re excited about this role but don’t have every single qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. Whether it’s this role or another one, you may be just the right candidate.

What You Can Expect

  • An opportunity to truly impact our communities
  • A flexible work environment
  • A comprehensive onboarding experience
  • Significant professional development, training, and a mentorship program
