- Support the Physician’s consulting business by managing scheduling, invoicing, and client communications in alignment with business objectives.
- Track project timelines, deliverables, and follow-ups to ensure commitments are met.
- Conduct research, compile data, and prepare presentations or reports as needed.

- Build positive working relationships and represent the clinic with professionalism and warmth.
- Uphold strict confidentiality and discretion in all aspects of the role.
- Three years of experience as an Assistant, Administrative Coordinator, or similar role supporting a senior leader.
- Experience in a clinic, healthcare, or professional services environment is an asset.
- Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (especially Outlook and Excel) and comfort using digital tools (e.g., Google Workspace, project management or accounting platforms).
