Vice Chair - Practice Administration (RST)

Mayo Clinic•Rochester, MN

About The Position

The Vice Chair-Practice Administration serves as a senior administrative leader partnering closely with clinical leaders and the Associate Administrator(s) to provide strategic, operational, and governance oversight across complex clinical support and infrastructure domains. This role is accountable for guiding Rochester and enterprise-level priorities spanning reprocessing and distribution services, equipment and technology governance, space activation and capital coordination and other high-impact operational portfolios. Additional accountability may also span across the various CPC subcommittees (OPS, HPS, and S&P). The Vice Chair is expected to bring seasoned judgment, strong execution capability and credibility in a physician-led, committee-driven environment—often stepping into leadership gaps where work is growing in scale, complexity, or cross-departmental dependence. Success in the role requires the ability to balance strategic vision with hands-on operational leadership; to mentor and support the development of senior administrators; to steward resources responsibly; and to proactively navigate ambiguity across institutional committees, capital planning and external partnerships. Candidates should anticipate a role that demands broad systems thinking, deep collaboration and sustained leadership presence to translate strategy into coordinated execution across the Rochester practice.
