Job Description

Transform Healthcare Leadership: Nursing Director Opportunity – Greater Charlotte, NC! 

Your Next Career-Defining Move Starts Here

Imagine walking into work each day knowing you're shaping the culture of three care environments. As our Nursing Director for Inpatient Services, you won't just manage units—you'll architect the future of nursing practice across Med/Surg, Progressive Care, and Intensive Care.

The Opportunity

This isn't your typical director role. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Chief Nursing Officer, bringing fresh perspective and operational excellence to every corner of inpatient care. Think of yourself as both strategist and mentor, building systems that empower nurses while ensuring patients receive nothing less than extraordinary care.

What You'll Own:

Culture Architect – Build an environment where clinical teams don't just work—they flourish and innovate

Quality Visionary – Design and implement initiatives that set new benchmarks for patient safety and care delivery

Operational Excellence – Turn complex challenges into streamlined solutions across multiple specialty units

Around-the-Clock Guardian – Provide leadership presence and decision-making authority 24/7 for your service lines

Talent Developer – Identify potential, nurture growth, and create pathways for the next generation of nursing leaders

Strategic Partner – Collaborate at the executive level to align nursing operations with organizational goals

Who You Are

Your Academic Foundation:

  • Master’s degree in nursing

Your Professional Journey:

  • At least 2 years leading nursing teams in a hospital environment (manager, director, or similar leadership capacity)
  • Current RN licensure or multistate compact
  • BLS certification through the American Heart Association

Your Leadership Philosophy:

You believe great nursing leadership is about removing barriers, not creating them. You communicate with clarity and empathy. You see potential in people before they see it in themselves. You make tough calls while keeping your team's well-being at the forefront. You're equally comfortable presenting to the C-suite and rounding at the bedside.

What Makes This Different

This role offers something rare: genuine autonomy paired with executive support. You'll have the resources to implement your vision and the backing to take calculated risks. Our organization values innovative thinking, collaborative leadership, and people who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo when patient care is on the line.

Ready to Redefine What's Possible?

If you're energized by the prospect of leading transformational change in inpatient nursing, let's talk. This is where your experience meets opportunity, and where your leadership can create lasting impact.

Because exceptional nursing leadership changes everything!
