Job Description

Vice President, Operations

Healthcare Services Organization | Midwest


The Opportunity

This role is with a large, multi-site healthcare services organization undergoing continued growth and operational evolution. The business delivers care across a diverse set of service lines and operates within a complex, physician-centric environment, balancing both fee-for-service and value-based care models.


The Vice President of Operations will serve as a senior leader responsible for a significant portion of the organization’s operating footprint, overseeing multiple service lines and a P&L exceeding $150M. This individual will report directly to executive leadership and play a critical role in driving performance, standardization, and scalable growth across the platform.


This role will have responsibility for a core portion of the organization’s Midwest footprint, partnering closely with leadership to support continued expansion and operational consistency across markets.


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. The VP will be expected to drive alignment across service lines, elevate operational consistency, and build infrastructure to support continued growth.


Key Responsibilities

  • Hold full accountability for a $150M+ P&L, including revenue growth, cost management, and margin improvement
  • Partner with finance to develop budgets, forecasts, and performance improvement plans
  • Identify and execute opportunities to improve efficiency and optimize resource allocation

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

  • Midwest-based preferred, with regular in-market presence required


Why This Role

This is an opportunity to step into a senior leadership role within a scaled healthcare organization at an important inflection point. The position offers meaningful scope, direct exposure to executive leadership, and the ability to drive impact across a broad operational footprint.


The ideal candidate will be energized by the opportunity to lead at scale, influence strategy, and drive measurable results across a complex, multi-site healthcare environment.
