Grow repeat-client revenue and manage the prepaid treatment liability owed to clients.

Review clinical incidents and complaints, and confirm corrective actions are completed.

Operations
Enforce one operating standard across clinics: procedures, service standards, client experience.
Run the management cadence: weekly performance reviews, monthly business reviews and quarterly planning.
Ensure accurate, timely reporting from every clinic through shared dashboards.
Oversee major projects such as openings, relocations, system changes and equipment purchases.
Finance and Risk
Deliver the annual budget, including profit and cash-flow targets.

Maintain cash controls, reconciliation and audit readiness in every clinic.
Identify the main business risks and keep mitigation plans current.
People and Culture
Hire, develop and, where needed, replace the senior leadership team and General Managers.
Set performance indicators and incentives for each leadership role and review them at least twice a year.
Maintain a clear delegation of authority so decisions are made at the right level.
Build succession for critical roles and a pipeline of future Clinic Managers and General Managers.

Give the Board accurate monthly reporting and early warning of material issues.
Manage relationships with shareholders, landlords, key suppliers, banks and partners.
