Overview
Chief Operating Officer Jobs in Washington DC-Baltimore Area at Green Key Resources
Title: Chief Operating Officer
Company: Green Key Resources
Location: Washington DC-Baltimore Area
Chief Operating Officer – Acute Care Hospital
Greater DMV Area | Level I Trauma Center | National Healthcare Network
A rare executive leadership opportunity is available for an accomplished hospital operations leader to step into a highly visible Chief Operating Officer role with a major acute care hospital in the Greater DMV area.
This is not a maintenance role — it is an opportunity to lead, influence, build, and elevate operations in a complex, high-acuity environment. The hospital is a Level I Trauma Center and part of a large national healthcare network, offering the resources, infrastructure, and career runway of a major system while still giving the COO the ability to make a direct and meaningful local impact.
The ideal leader is someone who enjoys being close to the business, visible with teams, engaged with physicians, and deeply involved in improving how the hospital operates day to day. This role is well suited for an executive who can balance strategy with execution, financial performance with quality, and operational discipline with strong relationship-building.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Lead operations for a high-acuity acute care hospital with Level I Trauma capabilities
Join a nationally recognized healthcare network with significant resources and long-term growth potential
Partner closely with the CEO and senior leadership team on strategy, performance, and culture
Oversee broad hospital operations across multiple service lines and departments
Drive meaningful improvements in quality, patient experience, staffing, efficiency, and financial performance
Work in a dynamic Greater DMV market with strong professional visibility
Step into a role with competitive executive compensation, relocation support, and career advancement potential
What This Leader Will Influence
Hospital operations, service line performance, and department accountability
Operational efficiency, throughput, staffing models, and resource utilization
Quality, patient safety, patient experience, and service excellence
Financial performance, expense management, productivity, and growth initiatives
Employee engagement, leadership development, and culture
Physician, vendor, and stakeholder relationships
Execution of strategic priorities in partnership with hospital and system leadership
The Leader We’re Looking For
This opportunity is best aligned with a progressive acute care operations executive who has successfully led teams, improved performance, and partnered across clinical, operational, and financial areas of a hospital.
The strongest candidates will bring a track record of leading in complex hospital environments, building trust with physicians and staff, developing strong leaders, improving operational outcomes, and creating a culture of accountability and service excellence.
A background in hospital operations, acute care leadership, executive administration, service line oversight, or multi-department leadership would translate well into this role. Advanced education in healthcare administration, business, or a related field is valued.
Compensation & Benefits
Executive compensation package with a base range of $260,000 – $340,000
Relocation support available
Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and prescription benefits
401(k) with company match
Generous paid time off
Growth opportunities within a large national healthcare system
This is a compelling opportunity for a hospital operations executive who is ready to lead at scale, make an impact in a Level I Trauma Center environment, and continue growing within a major national healthcare platform.
