About Gather Records

Gather Records specializes in efficiently obtaining and carefully evaluating medical records for gestational surrogates and egg donors, ensuring timely access to comprehensive and accurate medical histories. Our expanded offerings include background checks and access to MFM consultations when needed—providing Surrogacy and Egg Donation agencies, as well as Intended Parents, with a streamlined, all-in-one solution to make informed decisions with confidence.

Our promise is simple: we understand the urgency behind medical records collection and review, and we deliver expertise that stands out. We are committed to providing exceptional support and the highest standard of service—because our work impacts real people and time-sensitive decisions.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Director of Operations to lead and scale end-to-end service delivery across medical records collection and clinical review/medical summary writing (supported by experienced Labor & Delivery / NICU nurses). This is a highly visible leadership role reporting directly to the President and CFO.

The right leader will bring stability and clarity to an environment that has experienced meaningful change, building consistency, fairness, and trust. They will work closely with the team to understand how work happens today, turn pain points into practical improvements, and strengthen operational flow through thoughtful process design and technology-enabled solutions that reduce manual work and improve turnaround time and quality. They will translate our vision into an executable operating model, building the roadmap, rhythms, and systems that make it real.

Experience operating in a healthcare or clinical services environment, where documentation quality, accuracy, and sensitive information matter, is strongly preferred.

What You Will Own

• Learn the operation from the inside by spending time in the workflows, staying close to the work, and partnering with the team to improve how cases move start-to-finish.
