The Opportunity

This role is with a large, multi-site healthcare services organization undergoing continued growth and operational evolution.

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for an experienced operator who thrives in dynamic healthcare environments and is comfortable navigating complexity, ambiguity, and scale.


Role Overview

The Vice President will lead operations across a broad portfolio of clinical services, partnering closely with physician leadership, functional executives, and frontline teams to improve access, efficiency, financial performance, and patient outcomes.


This role requires a leader who can operate both strategically and tactically—setting direction while also ensuring disciplined execution across a multi-site environment.

Physician & Clinical Partnership

  • Collaborate closely with physician leaders to align operational priorities with clinical objectives
  • Support service line growth, provider engagement, and practice optimization initiatives
  • Build trust and credibility across clinical and administrative stakeholders

Strategic Execution & Transformation

  • Lead key enterprise initiatives, including service line expansion, operational redesign, and performance improvement efforts
  • Translate strategic priorities into executable plans with clear milestones and outcomes
  • Drive change management across a distributed organization with diverse stakeholders

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead and develop a team of operational leaders, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Build organizational capabilities to support scale, including talent development and succession planning


Qualifications

  • 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in healthcare operations, ideally within multi-site provider organizations
  • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale operations with significant P&L responsibility
  • Strong track record of driving operational performance and leading complex initiatives
  • Experience working closely with physicians and clinical leadership in ambulatory or outpatient environments
  • Familiarity with both fee-for-service and value-based care models
  • Proven ability to lead through influence in matrixed, fast-paced organizations


Profile

  • Strategic thinker with strong execution orientation
  • Comfortable operating in complex, evolving environments
  • Data-driven decision maker with strong financial acumen
  • Collaborative leader with executive presence and the ability to influence at all levels
  • High level of ownership, accountability, and adaptability


Location
