ASC Center Administrator

Center Administrator – Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)

Location: Greater Tampa, FL

Salary: $100-120k base + 15% annual bonus

Reports To: Director of Clinical Operations

This position is with a PE-backed physician-led nephrology group, responsible for the day-to-day clinical and operational management of a vascular access surgery center. The Center Administrator oversees all aspects of center operations, including staffing, scheduling, inventory, compliance, and financial performance.

This role requires a balance of strategic leadership and hands-on management to ensure quality patient outcomes, strong physician and teammate engagement, and adherence to regulatory standards. This is a hands-on operational leadership position
. You’d be responsible for the day-to-day management of the center, including staff oversight, compliance, financial performance, and Joint Commission accreditation.
