We are a growing, physician-led interventional pain management practice focused on providing comprehensive, evidence-based care in a professional, patient-centered outpatient environment. Our practice combines advanced interventional procedures with a strong emphasis on patient safety, clinical excellence, and a high-quality patient experience.

We are seeking an experienced and highly organized Nurse Manager to join our team and oversee nursing operations across our Arlington, VA and Washington, DC locations.

This individual will serve as a key clinical leader within the practice and work closely with physicians, advanced practice providers, and administrative leadership to ensure safe, efficient, and consistent patient care.

The ideal candidate is an experienced procedural nurse who is confident managing a busy outpatient environment, comfortable with moderate sedation and post-procedure monitoring, and capable of developing and leading a high-performing nursing team.
