Role Summary
Spring Fertility is seeking an innovative, hands-on technology transformation leader to help shape the future of how technology and artificial intelligence enhance the patient and employee experience. The Director of AI Transformation and Digital Patient Experience will lead the evaluation, development, implementation, and ongoing optimization of AI-enabled and digital solutions across the patient journey and broader organization. This individual will translate established business priorities and operational needs into thoughtful, scalable technology solutions that improve responsiveness, streamline workflows, strengthen continuity of care, expand team capacity, and drive operational efficiency.
This is an opportunity to bring emerging technology into a high-touch, patient-centered healthcare environment—ensuring that innovation meaningfully enhances the experience without compromising clinical safety, data privacy, empathy, or trust.
We are looking for a strategic thinker and pragmatic operator who can move seamlessly from identifying opportunities to evaluating solutions, managing technology partners, overseeing implementation, and measuring results. The ideal candidate understands how to leverage AI and digital innovation to solve real business challenges and deliver measurable value.
This is a technology transformation and solution delivery leadership role, not a traditional data science or AI model-development position. The Director will own the technology strategy and execution required to bring approved AI and digital initiatives to life, including solution architecture, build-versus-buy decisions, vendor selection and management, systems integration, implementation, governance, and ongoing performance optimization.
Working in close partnership with Strategy & Operations, clinical leadership, and operational teams, this leader will ensure technology initiatives align with organizational priorities and support the evolution of the patient and employee experience.
Key Responsibilities
AI Strategy, Roadmap & Solution Design
- Own and advance the organization's AI and technology roadmap, translating approved business priorities into actionable technology initiatives.
- Evaluate emerging AI capabilities, digital platforms, and technology solutions to identify opportunities to improve the patient journey, employee experience, and organizational effectiveness.
- Translate business requirements, operational workflows, established baselines, and success measures into functional and technical requirements, solution recommendations, implementation plans, and budgets.
- Develop solution architecture and make informed build-versus-buy recommendations based on scalability, security, integration requirements, cost, and long-term business value.
- Establish a practical approach to sequencing and prioritizing technology implementation in partnership with business and operational stakeholders.
Technology Implementation & Delivery
- Lead end-to-end delivery of AI-enabled and digital solutions, from evaluation and vendor selection through implementation, integration, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
- Oversee technology partners and vendors, ensuring solutions meet organizational requirements, timelines, performance expectations, and security standards.
- Partner with internal technology teams and external providers to ensure seamless integration with existing systems and platforms.
- Drive adoption of new technology through thoughtful implementation, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with operational leaders.
- Identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce administrative burden, improve responsiveness, and increase organizational capacity through technology.
Governance, Risk & Performance Management
- Establish and maintain governance frameworks for AI and digital technology, including appropriate oversight, privacy, security, compliance, and responsible AI practices.
- Ensure technology solutions are implemented with appropriate safeguards, monitoring, and escalation processes, particularly in a clinical and patient-facing environment.
- Develop performance metrics and reporting mechanisms to evaluate technology effectiveness, adoption, reliability, and realized business value.
- Monitor solution performance and continuously identify opportunities for improvement, optimization, and enhanced functionality.
- Maintain accountability for technical outcomes, implementation success, and ongoing technology performance.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Collaboration
- Partner closely with Strategy & Operations, clinical leadership, and operational teams to understand business needs, evaluate opportunities, and translate approved priorities into effective technology solutions.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to support future-state workflow design and ensure technology enables more effective, scalable operating processes.
- Serve as a trusted technology advisor to leadership, bringing forward recommendations, emerging capabilities, and practical solutions to complex operational challenges.
- Build strong relationships across the organization to ensure technology initiatives are aligned, appropriately governed, and successfully implemented.
Education and Skills
7+ years of experience in business transformation, technology enablement, or operational strategy, ideally within a fast-paced or entrepreneurial environment.
Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional initiatives, implementing technology solutions, and identifying opportunities to improve workflows, efficiencies, and cost effectiveness.
Strong business and technical acumen, including an understanding of systems architecture, technology integration, and emerging technologies such as AI.
Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and influencing skills, with the ability to build relationships and drive alignment across all levels and functions of an organization.

Who's Hiring



What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in director of patient experience jobs.
- Five or more years of experience in patient experience, patient relations, or healthcare service leadership
- Demonstrated knowledge of HCAHPS, Press Ganey, or CG-CAHPS survey methodology and improvement strategies
- Bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, nursing, business, or a related field
- Experience leading interdisciplinary teams and managing change across clinical and non-clinical departments
- Certified Patient Experience Professional (CPXP) credential from the Patient Experience Institute
- Proficiency with patient feedback platforms and electronic health record systems
Tips for Your Director of Patient Experience Job Search
Quantify patient satisfaction outcomes on your resume
Hiring committees want to see HCAHPS score improvements, Press Ganey percentile gains, or grievance resolution rates you drove. Replace phrases like 'improved patient satisfaction' with the actual before-and-after numbers your initiatives produced.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of patient experience openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your application to the facility type
A community hospital wants rounding protocols and complaint resolution. An academic medical center often emphasizes service line strategy and faculty alignment. Read the posting carefully and reframe your experience to match the specific care environment.
Demonstrate cross-functional influence in interviews
Interviewers for this role test whether you can move nursing, environmental services, food and nutrition, and clinical staff without direct authority. Prepare two or three stories where you changed behavior in departments you didn't manage.
Get your CPXP credential before final-round interviews
The Certified Patient Experience Professional credential signals you understand the field's methodology, not just your own facility's approach. Many health systems list it as preferred, and having it removes a common objection late in the selection process.
Negotiate scope during the offer stage, not after
Director of Patient Experience roles vary enormously in authority, from advisory to full operational ownership of service teams. Clarify reporting lines, budget control, and whether you own rounding programs before you accept, so expectations are aligned from day one.
Director of Patient Experience Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of patient experiences?
The companies hiring the most director of patient experiences right now include NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals, Sodexo, and Spring Fertility, with the largest share of openings in Indiana, Missouri, and Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Health systems with multiple campuses and large regional hospital networks tend to post the most consistently.
How many director of patient experience jobs are remote?
About 100% of director of patient experience openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the role is predominantly on-site given its rounding, service recovery, and staff coaching responsibilities. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are patient experience consulting, strategy, and health system analytics roles rather than facility-based positions.
How do you become a director of patient experience?
Start by building experience in patient relations, guest services, or a clinical support role within a healthcare setting, then move into a patient experience coordinator or manager position where you own survey improvement projects. Earning the CPXP credential strengthens your candidacy. Most directors reach the role after leading service excellence programs and demonstrating measurable HCAHPS or Press Ganey gains over several years.
Can you get a director of patient experience job without direct experience in the title?
Yes, candidates from adjacent backgrounds regularly make the transition if they can show relevant outcomes. Strong entry points include healthcare operations management, nursing leadership, social work leadership, and patient advocacy program management. Highlight any work involving complaint resolution, service recovery, rounding, or interdisciplinary team facilitation, and pair it with the CPXP credential to close the experience gap.
What does the director of patient experience interview process look like?
Most health systems run a multi-stage process starting with a phone screen from HR, followed by a video or in-person interview with the chief nursing officer, COO, or VP of Operations. A panel interview with department heads and frontline staff is common, and some organizations request a brief presentation on a past improvement initiative. References from clinical leaders carry significant weight at the final stage.
