PACS and IT Administrator – Hospital-Based Radiology Practice

Location: Remote position serving southeast Florida (Miami/Broward area)
Position Type: Full-Time
Reports To: Executive Director & Executive Committee (Physicians)
Travel: 0-10%

About Us

We are a growing, hospital-based private radiology practice providing 24/7 diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, and neurointerventional surgery services across multiple hospitals in Florida. As our clinical footprint expands, we are seeking an experienced PACS and IT Administrator to support our imaging operations, optimize radiologist workflow, and serve as a critical liaison between our group and hospital IT departments. Our current imaging volume is 750k imaging studies per year across six hospitals within a single health system.

We will be launching our own cloud-based AI-supported PACS in early 2026 that will sit on top of the hospitals' PACS. The hospital system's PACS will remain the system of record. This PACS Admin will lead the implementation of this project.

Prior experience with PACS conversions, third-party interfaces, HL7 interfaces, and hardware/software installs and maintenance is preferred. While all qualified candidates will be considered, preference will be given to applicants living locally in southeast Florida.

Position Summary

The PACS and IT Administrator is responsible for the daily management, maintenance, and optimization of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), imaging modalities, and associated hardware/software infrastructure. This role ensures seamless imaging workflows, supports clinical efficiency, and manages upgrades, deployments, and integrations—including new PACS installations—as our practice expands.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise, hands-on experience implementing or migrating PACS platforms, and excellent communication skills for coordinating with radiologists, technologists, hospital IT teams, and third-party vendors.

The PACS Administrator will also oversee training for new (internal) radiologists and new (external) hospital radiology technologists.

Liaison & Communication

• Serve as the primary point of contact between the radiology group and hospital IT/PACS teams.
• Attend hospital meetings, participate in workflow planning, and represent the radiologists' operational interests.
• Translate radiologist needs into technical requirements and escalate issues appropriately.

Qualifications

• Required:
• 3+ years of experience as a PACS Administrator in a hospital or high-volume imaging environment.
• Hands-on experience with PACS configuration, DICOM, HL7, networking fundamentals, and workflow setup.
• Experience implementing or migrating PACS solutions (e.g., Synthesis, Visage, Sectra, Philips, GE, Intelerad, Change/BSW, New Lantern, etc.).
• Strong hardware knowledge: workstation builds, server components, GPUs, image display calibration, VPNs, and networking basics.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with radiologists, technologists, and hospital IT staff.
