About the Company
Our client is a leading national provider of home-based healthcare services backed by one of the top middle-market private equity firms in the country. The organization delivers a broad range of in-home care services, including skilled home health, hospice, behavioral health, and personal care, serving tens of thousands of patients across multiple states.
With a mission centered on delivering high-quality, compassionate care in the home, the company partners closely with physicians, health systems, and payors to improve outcomes and reduce the total cost of care. The organization has experienced significant growth through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions and continues to invest in initiatives that strengthen its national footprint and leadership in home-based care.
Position Overview
The Chief Development Officer will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team and lead the organization’s enterprise growth and expansion strategy. Reporting directly to the CEO, this executive will oversee all corporate development activities, including mergers and acquisitions, market expansion, strategic partnerships, and de novo growth initiatives.
This is a highly strategic and operational leadership role designed for an experienced healthcare executive who can build and scale a sophisticated development function within a rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization. The Chief Development Officer will partner closely with executive leadership, operational leaders, and private equity sponsors to identify and execute opportunities that accelerate growth, expand market presence, and enhance enterprise value.
