The Kind of Leader Who Thrives Here

You don't have to lead from the sidelines.

You are willing to scrub in, solve a problem, help a teammate, answer a question, communicate a concern, or step into another position when that's what the team needs.

You understand that great leadership in surgery requires both confidence and humility. You know when to give direction, when to listen, when to coach, and when to simply roll up your sleeves and help.

You don't just say you're a strong leader. The people who have worked beside you, reported to you, and led you can tell us how you lead.

Most importantly, you understand that everything we do ultimately comes back to taking exceptional care of our patients.

Why ClearSight?

For 30 years, ClearSight and our surgeons have helped people experience life with greater visual freedom.  ClearSight is a privately owned company.

Our surgery team plays an important role in that experience. From preparing the surgical environment to supporting our physicians and reassuring patients, every detail matters.

We're looking for someone who wants to do more than perform the technical responsibilities of the job. We're looking for someone who wants to lead well, serve well, and help a great team become even better.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
