Director, Community Oncology

This role provides operational leadership for Community Hematology and Oncology (CHO), along with communitybased Palliative Care, across five community practice locations. The position ensures consistent, highquality care delivery and strong alignment with OHSU and Knight Cancer clinical, operational, and strategic priorities.

The role additionally serves as the OHSU CoManager for the OHSU Knight–Legacy Health Cancer Collaboration under a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA). Each organization appoints a comanager who jointly oversees daily operations of the collaboration, implements Executive Committee decisions, and functions as a liaison between their home organization and the Executive Committee.

The position also manages two collaboration practice sites in Clark County, Washington, and oversees partnership management for additional JOAs, including Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria and Adventist Health Columbia Gorge in The Dalles.

This is a hybrid position that requires onsite presence as well as regular travel to community and partner practice locations.

settings within the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Ensures efficient day to-day operations in collaboration with clinical leadership and contributes to financial and strategic 
planning. Drives performance and quality improvement initiatives across diverse anesthetic care 
areas while supervising key operational and administrative staff.

This is a director-level leadership role reporting to the Vice Chair for Administration. The position

administrative functions across multiple perioperative and pain care settings. It is distinguished from

strategies within an established departmental framework, rather than setting long-term clinical 
financial strategy at a system-wide level.

and Managers; ensures consistent delivery of high-quality, efficient patient care services.
