Scope of practice, title and compensation will be commensurate with licensure, experience and clinic needs. The ideal candidate will have: · A passion for patient care, · Strong leadership skills, · Exceptional communication skills (the majority of the patients we see at TCHP speak Spanish as their primary language, therefore the ideal candidate will also have a high level of proficiency communicating in Spanish - both orally and in writing.) · Excellent organizational skills, and · Effective people skills. In this position, you will play a pivotal role in making a positive impact on the lives of people we serve. You will be a key member of our leadership team, co-leading the medical clinic with our Clinical Care Manager, and reporting to the Executive Director, with close partnership from the Medical Director. This role is well-suited for a clinician leader who enjoys wearing multiple hats, values mission-driven work, and thrives in a collaborative, resource-conscious nonprofit environment. The Medical Clinic Operations Manager will have meaningful autonomy, direct access to organizational leadership and the opportunity to shape systems and programs that directly impact patient care.

  • General Manager: HYOU Fine Jewelry

    Operations manager job in Chicago, IL

    About the Brand “We've spent decades inside the jewelry industry designing, scaling, watching the same stories get told. We saw who it celebrated. And who it left out. HYOU was born from the decision to do things differently. To reimagine what jewelry could mean when it's made for her, not handed to her. If you've ever felt unseen in the brilliance, we made this brand with you in mind. And we're just getting started.” - Founders, Aakrosh & Kinnari. HYOU Fine Jewelry creates pieces that move with you - bold, personal, and unapologetically modern. We design jewelry that looks elevated, feels effortless, and celebrates individuality. Our collections feature lab-grown diamonds and high quality gemstones, set in solid 10K gold and 14K gold vermeil layered over sterling silver. Every piece passes strict quality checks to ensure it's made to last - jewelry meant for everyday wear, not special occasions only. By working directly with our makers, using lab grown diamonds, and keeping our model lean, HYOU delivers the same sparkle without inflated markups. The result: meaningful, modern fine jewelry that's accessible, intentional, and personal. HYOU is for the woman who doesn't wait to be chosen. She chooses herself. Not someday. Every day.
