Job Description
A rare opportunity is available for a dynamic Manager of Nursing Obstetrics to lead a thriving family birthing center within a progressive healthcare organization on the Olympic Peninsula. This is more than a traditional Labor and Delivery Nurse Manager role — it is a chance to shape patient-centered maternity care inside a highly collaborative women's services team with strong physician partnerships and genuine leadership growth opportunity. If you are ready to influence culture, quality, and clinical excellence across the continuum of perinatal care, this role deserves your attention.
This healthcare organization offers the kind of practice environment seasoned leaders seek but rarely find: stable executive leadership, engaged medical staff, and a culture where nurse leaders are trusted decision-makers. Onboarding is intentional and supportive, designed to accelerate impact rather than slow it. Interdisciplinary collaboration is authentic, not performative, and leaders are encouraged to bring forward operational ideas that strengthen workflow, patient experience, and staff engagement. The structure supports long-term career development for ambitious leaders who want their voice at the table.
The Manager of Nursing Obstetrics oversees a comprehensive Obstetrics platform that includes Labor and Delivery, Mother Baby, Postpartum, and broader Women's Services. This is an active, relationship-driven environment where visibility on the unit matters. The leader holds operational oversight for staffing, scheduling, quality metrics, patient safety, and throughput while fostering a highly reliable, patient-centered maternity care model. Physicians are collaborative and accessible, creating a strong dyad partnership that supports evidence-based practice and clinical innovation. The scope allows meaningful autonomy to refine workflows, elevate team performance, and ensure a seamless experience from admission through discharge in a respected OB and L&D setting.
Reporting to senior nursing leadership, this role partners closely with fellow nurse managers, ancillary department leaders, and a committed group of obstetric providers. The Maternal Child Health Manager will influence recruitment, retention, professional development, and shared governance initiatives while aligning departmental strategy with broader organizational priorities. Success in this position requires operational fluency, financial awareness, and the emotional intelligence to build trust across disciplines.
Located on the Olympic Peninsula 🌲, the region offers unmatched access to mountains, coastline, and national park landscapes, all within an easy daily commute. Residents enjoy a slower pace of life without sacrificing vibrant local dining, arts, and community events. Excellent schools, welcoming neighborhoods, and year-round outdoor recreation create an exceptional environment for professionals seeking balance without compromise.
The compensation range for this opportunity is 157-205k, complemented by comprehensive executive benefits, retirement contributions, generous paid time off, and continuing education support. Leadership development resources are available for those eager to expand their influence. Qualified candidates are invited to confidentially connect with a Clinical Management Consultants recruiter to explore whether this Manager of Nursing Obstetrics role aligns with their next chapter in leadership. 👶
