Men's Health Boston is a leading multi-specialty men's health medical practice generating approximately $7 million in annual revenue across two Boston-area locations. Owned and operated by Dr. Evan Appelbaum, the practice has built a strong regional reputation and is entering its next phase of growth — expanding clinical capacity, service lines, and operational infrastructure. To lead this growth, the practice is creating a newly consolidated executive leadership role.
Position Summary
The Executive Director is a newly created, single-point executive role that combines the responsibilities of strategy leadership, financial management, and operational/administrative oversite. Reporting directly to the Owner and Medical Director, the Executive Director will run the day-to-day business of the practice and own the strategic plan to take it to its next level of growth — while Dr. Appelbaum remains focused on clinical care, medical leadership, and final decision authority on major initiatives. The practice's two on-site Practice Managers will report to the Executive Director, who will set direction, budgets, and policy while the Practice Managers continue to own day-to-day site operations.
This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned healthcare executive to build and run the full business function of a growing, physician-owned medical practice, with broad authority over finance, operations, strategy, and people.

- Prior experience in human resources, compliance, and healthcare operations leadership.
