Operations Manager — With a Clear Path to Director of Operations

Anderson Sport and Wellness | Newport Beach, CA

About Us

Anderson Sport and Wellness is a premier, privately-owned Physical Therapy and Wellness clinic in Newport Beach, CA. We are dedicated to delivering an exceptional, one-on-one patient experience in a warm, family-friendly environment.

Our team uses specialized manual therapy, advanced exercise techniques, high-end technology, and nutritional consultation — all tailored to the individual. We specialize in helping people overcome chronic pain, orthopedic injuries, and return to the sports and activities they love.

Beyond physical therapy, we offer free community health workshops — because we believe wellness is a lifestyle, not just a treatment.

We are a close-knit, values-driven team, and every person we bring on plays a critical role in delivering the kind of experience our patients talk about long after they leave our clinic.

The Role: Operations Manager

This is not a background role.

The Operations Manager is one of the most important positions in our clinic — and one of the most exciting opportunities we have ever offered.

You are the person who keeps everything running — the connective tissue between our clinical team, our front office, our patients, and our owner. You will be the central point of contact for the owner, client experience coordinator, physical therapists, aides, marketing assistants, and all other team members. When something needs to get done, you make sure it does. When something is not working, you spot it early and fix it. When the team needs direction, you provide it — calmly, clearly, and with confidence.

But this role goes well beyond traditional clinic operations.

Anderson Sport and Wellness is the foundation of a growing portfolio of health and wellness ventures — including the active scaling of our iCare PEMF device sales, a cutting-edge longevity technology, and the planned launch of a medical device company and nonprofit organization currently in development.

The right person in this role will not just keep the clinic running smoothly — they will help us grow. And as we grow, so will the opportunities available to them. For someone with ambition, drive, and a genuine interest in health and wellness innovation, this role could be the beginning of something far bigger than a single clinic.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in running a tight ship, and care deeply about delivering excellent experiences to patients and staff alike — we want to hear from you.

Who You Are

You do not wait to be told what to do. You see what needs to happen and you make it happen.

You are the kind of person who walks into a busy office, immediately reads the room, and knows exactly where to direct your energy. You hold yourself to a high standard — and you hold your team to one too, not by being demanding, but by leading by example and communicating with clarity and respect.

You are equally comfortable having a warm conversation with a nervous new patient on the phone as you are reviewing a financial report or managing a staff scheduling conflict.

You are also someone who thinks beyond the task in front of you. You see the bigger picture. You understand that a well-run operation is the foundation of a growing business — and you take pride in being the person who makes that possible.

People trust you — because you follow through.

Core Characteristics We Are Looking For

• Proactive — You anticipate needs before they become problems. You bring solutions, not just questions. You take initiative without being asked.
• High Emotional Intelligence — You read people well. You manage conflict with grace and communicate with empathy, even under pressure.
• Exceptional Phone & Customer Communication — You represent our clinic with warmth and professionalism every time. You know how to make people feel heard and cared for.
• Strong Problem-Solving Ability — When things do not go to plan, you adapt quickly. You find a way forward.
• People Manager — You know how to lead a team with firmness and kindness. You hold people accountable without creating unnecessary tension.
• Time & Priority Management — You manage a busy day with confidence. You know what is urgent, what is important, and what can wait — and you act accordingly.
• Systems-Oriented — You respect the systems and processes already in place, follow them consistently, and actively look for ways to improve them.
• Detail-Oriented — Nothing important slips through the cracks on your watch.
• Revenue-Minded — You understand that a well-run operation drives growth and you take pride in contributing to that growth directly.
• Resilient & Resourceful — You do not fold under pressure. You figure it out.

• Alert team members when critical tasks are overdue and follow up to ensure completion
• Identify gaps or inefficiencies in current systems and recommend practical improvements to the owner
• Assist in the implementation of new processes and ensure team compliance

• Audit the schedule regularly for double bookings and confirm that every patient with an active plan of care is fully scheduled out
• Oversee the front office to ensure patients are accurately charged for all services rendered

Opportunity for Growth

This role has a clear path forward — and we want to be transparent about exactly where that path leads.

Anderson Sport and Wellness is not just a physical therapy clinic. It is the foundation of a growing portfolio of health and wellness ventures, and the right person in this Operations Manager role will grow alongside it.

As you settle in and demonstrate your capabilities, the natural progression is to Director of Operations and Revenue — with expanded responsibility, compensation to match, and opportunities that go well beyond the walls of our clinic.

In that expanded role, you would:

• Conduct regular performance reviews for all team members
• Lead recruitment strategy and hiring decisions
• Oversee full clinic operations in the owner's absence
• Serve as the senior decision-maker for day-to-day problem resolution
• Play a key role in facilitating the growth of our iCare PEMF device sales — a cutting-edge longevity technology that we are actively scaling
• Support the launch and operations of a new medical device company and nonprofit organization currently in development

For the right person, this is not just a career advancement opportunity within a clinic. This is a chance to be part of building something genuinely significant in the health and wellness space — and to grow your own role, responsibilities, and earning potential alongside it.

We are a growing organization with big ambitions, and we want someone who shares that vision — someone who sees this not just as a job, but as a career with real upward momentum and a genuine stake in what we are building.

The owner is currently on-site daily and deeply involved in both clinical care and business development. There is an extraordinary amount of growth ready to be unlocked — and the right Operations Manager will be at the center of making it happen.

The right person in this role will gradually take operational responsibility off the owner's plate — creating the bandwidth needed to launch new ventures, serve more patients, and build something that extends far beyond a single clinic. That is how important this role is to the future of Anderson Sport and Wellness and everything we are building around it.

If you are the kind of person who wants to be part of something bigger than a job description — we would love to meet you.

• Experience in a healthcare, physical therapy, or wellness setting is a strong advantage
