Operations Coordinator - Healthcare Executive Search & Interim Leadership

Peregrine Search & Succession

John's Landing | Portland, Oregon

Full-Time | Monday-Thursday (Four-Day Workweek)

Starting at $50,000 + Benefits + Profit Sharing Opportunity

Join a company that's redefining healthcare executive search.

Peregrine Search & Succession is one of the fastest-growing boutique healthcare executive search firms in the country. We partner with independent hospitals and health systems nationwide to place interim and permanent healthcare executives into some of healthcare's most critical leadership roles. We're a small team that believes exceptional service wins every time. We move quickly, care deeply about our clients and interim leaders, and obsess over the details that most companies overlook. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us—not just fill a position.

About the Role

You'll work side-by-side with our Interim Program Logistics Manager, learning every aspect of our interim operations while becoming the backup for one of the most important functions in our company. During busy periods, you'll help coordinate travel, housing, credentialing, onboarding, and countless behind-the-scenes details that allow our interim executives to arrive at hospitals ready to lead. As you become proficient, you'll cross-train across virtually every administrative function in our business and provide support to our Associate Partners and Principal Partners when operations allow. This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, loves solving problems, and takes pride in making everything appear effortless—even when a hundred moving pieces are happening behind the scenes.

What You'll Do

Every day is a little different, but responsibilities may include:

• Coordinate airfare, rental cars, hotels, furnished housing, and travel logistics for healthcare executives across the country


• Assist with credentialing, licensing, onboarding, and compliance documentation


• Learn every aspect of interim operations so you can seamlessly support the team during vacations or peak workload periods


• Help monitor assignment timelines, renewals, extensions, and important deadlines


• Communicate with hospitals, interim leaders, vendors, and internal team members


• Research housing options and negotiate accommodations


• Prepare documents, presentations, and reports


• Support our recruiting team with administrative projects as needed


• Identify ways to improve processes and help us continue scaling efficiently


• Jump in wherever needed—because startups don't have job descriptions, they have missions

Who Thrives Here

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Loves organization and gets genuine satisfaction from checking things off a list


• Notices details that other people miss


• Enjoys solving problems before anyone else realizes they exist


• Is comfortable juggling multiple priorities without becoming overwhelmed


• Takes ownership rather than waiting for direction


• Enjoys working with people and providing exceptional service


• Wants to learn how a growing business operates from the inside

Healthcare experience is helpful, but it is not required.

We can teach our business.

What we can't teach is curiosity, work ethic, kindness, and a genuine desire to help others.

Why Our Team Loves Working HereWe're intentional about creating a workplace people actually enjoy coming to.

You'll have:

• A true four-day workweek (Monday through Thursday)


• Fridays reserved for personal time, flexibility, or occasional remote work when needed


• Your own private office


• A beautiful office in John's Landing (South Portland) next to Willamette Park


• A collaborative, no-politics culture


• A dog-friendly workplace


• Our dedicated Zen Den for quiet reflection, recharging, sitting in a massage chair, meditating, or taking a breather.


• Team lunches, celebrations, and plenty of laughs along the way


• Direct mentorship from experienced business leaders


• The opportunity to grow as our company continues expanding

Most importantly, you'll be joining a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

Compensation & Benefits

• Starting salary of $50,000 per year with Quarterly discretionary bonuses


• Health insurance


• Paid time off (Unlimited)


• Four-day workweek


• Significant opportunities for advancement as the company grows


• Eligibility for our company's profit-sharing program after one year of demonstrated success

A Note About Our Culture

This is an in-office role because we believe the best ideas happen when talented people work together. We invest heavily in creating an environment that's enjoyable, collaborative, and energizing—not because we have to, but because we believe people do their best work when they feel connected to their teammates. If you're looking for "just another administrative job," this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place where your work matters, your ideas are heard, and you'll have an opportunity to grow alongside an ambitious company, we'd love to meet you.
