Location: Remote – United States

The Opportunity

PX3 Medical is seeking a Vice President of Permanent Placement to lead and scale our permanent physician, advanced practice provider and healthcare leadership recruitment business.

This is a senior player-coach position for someone who has produced at a high level, built successful recruiters and understands how to turn individual recruiting performance into a scalable division.

You will personally manage selected searches and strategic client relationships, particularly during the early stages of the role. However, your larger mandate will be to build the team, systems, performance culture and growth strategy required to expand the permanent placement business.

This is not a purely administrative or internal leadership role. You will be expected to generate revenue, solve difficult searches and lead by example.

What You Will Own

• Lead the performance and growth of the permanent placement division.
• Personally manage selected searches, priority candidates and strategic client relationships.
• Recruit, develop and retain high-performing recruiters and sourcing professionals.
• Create a repeatable search-delivery model across physicians, APPs and healthcare executives.
• Establish production expectations, scorecards, forecasting and performance-management practices.
• Review search progress and intervene when sourcing, candidate engagement or closing activity is insufficient.
• Improve candidate quality, presentation quality, search velocity and placement conversion.
• Help develop existing client accounts and identify opportunities for new business.
• Partner with the CEO on division strategy, hiring, compensation, technology and resource allocation.
• Provide reliable forecasts covering search activity, placements, revenue and team capacity.
• Build a culture of urgency, ownership, transparency and continuous improvement.

What We Are Looking For

• Significant success in healthcare permanent placement, physician recruitment, executive search or a comparable staffing environment.
• A strong record of personal production and closing difficult searches.
• Experience building and managing recruiting teams.
• Ability to coach both experienced recruiters and developing talent.
• Strong operational discipline and comfort using metrics to manage performance.
• Commercial judgment, client credibility and executive-level communication skills.
• Experience improving recruiting processes, systems and accountability.
• Ability to move between strategy and direct execution without hesitation.
• Comfort operating in a growing company where not every process has already been built.

Experience leading retained physician or healthcare executive searches is highly desirable.

How Success Will Be Measured

Success will be measured through personal and team placement revenue, search velocity, candidate quality, recruiter productivity, client retention, forecasting accuracy and sustainable division growth.

Why PX3 Medical

PX3 Medical specializes in complex healthcare searches, with a particular focus on rural and underserved organizations.

The Vice President will have the opportunity to shape the division rather than simply maintain an established corporate structure. The role offers substantial performance-based upside and the ability to build a meaningful long-term platform.
