RN Manager - Operating Room

This is a permanent OR Manager opportunity at one of the Pacific Northwest's most recognized surgical programs — a Magnet-designated medical center in Portland operating 21 suites and performing more than 12,500 inpatient and outpatient adult surgical cases annually. The case mix is broad and complex: general, bariatric, gynecologic, urologic, colorectal, orthopedic, neurosurgical, vascular, endovascular, thoracic, ENT, oral and maxillofacial, plastic, and podiatric surgery, with a strong emphasis on complex cancer resection and reconstruction. The program is a regional referral center and a recognized leader in robotic-assisted surgery across the da Vinci SP, Xi, and DV5 platforms.

One full-time opening is available on a Monday through Friday day schedule, typically averaging 50 hours per week.

This role carries a $10,000 sign-on bonus for eligible external hires. Relocation assistance is also available for the right candidate. The benefits package is comprehensive, designed around long-term caregiver well-being, professional development, and financial security. You will be leading a team of approximately 160 caregivers — including six Associate Nurse Managers and a Surgical Services Supervisor — inside a culture built on nursing excellence and genuine caregiver empowerment. Compensation is competitive based on experience.

Required qualifications include a BSN from an accredited nursing program, an Oregon RN license upon hire, current BLS through the American Heart Association, and a minimum of three years of clinical experience with recent first-line management responsibility. Preferred candidates bring five or more years of RN experience within surgical services or a procedural area, progressive leadership responsibility, CNOR certification, and a Master's degree in nursing or a related field.

This is a high-visibility leadership role with real scope and a team infrastructure already in place. If you are a perioperative leader ready to operate at that level, reach out or submit your resume to start a confidential conversation.

Portland sits at the convergence of two major rivers in the northern Willamette Valley, with the Cascade Range to the east and the Coast Range to the west. Mount Hood is about 90 minutes from downtown — skiing, hiking, and climbing accessible as a weekend routine rather than a special occasion. The Columbia River Gorge begins practically at the city's edge, offering some of the best windsurfing, hiking, and scenic driving in the country. The Oregon Coast is roughly two hours west, and Seattle is three hours north on I-5. For a city of its size, Portland's geographic position is genuinely exceptional.

The city itself has built a well-earned reputation for food, independent coffee, craft beverage culture, and a walkable, neighborhood-driven lifestyle. Oregon carries no sales tax, which is a tangible financial benefit that compounds quietly over time. Housing costs, while they have increased over the past decade, remain meaningfully lower than San Francisco and Seattle, giving Portland a livability-to-cost ratio that is hard to match on the West Coast. For families, the region offers strong school options, abundant outdoor programming, and a community culture that tends to hold people once they arrive. Portland is the kind of market where healthcare professionals come for a role and end up building a career and a life.
