Vice President Finance and Controller

Hoag Hospital Foundation (HHF) serves as the philanthropic arm of Hoag, one of California’s leading not-for-profit health systems recognized for delivering exceptional healthcare and innovation. With an unwavering commitment to advancing Hoag’s mission, the Foundation partners with donors, physicians, and the community to secure and steward the resources that sustain and expand Hoag’s clinical excellence and patient care.

The Foundation has played a critical role in Hoag’s growth and community impact, having successfully supported major capital campaigns that have transformed facilities, programs, and research. The organization is now nearing the close of its current $300 million campaign and preparing to launch an ambitious new campaign projected to exceed $1 billion—an extraordinary milestone in Hoag’s history.

Under the leadership of newly appointed President Caroline Pereira, the Foundation is entering a transformative phase focused on modernization, enhanced governance, and expanded impact. This includes elevating financial stewardship, strengthening donor confidence through transparency and compliance, and ensuring Hoag’s continued success as a premier healthcare destination in Southern California and beyond.

Vice President, Finance and Controller

The Vice President, Finance & Controller is a newly created executive leadership position that will report directly to Caroline Pereira, President of Hoag Hospital Foundation, and serve as a key member of the Foundation’s leadership cabinet.

This pivotal role was established following the retirement of long-tenured Senior Vice President of Finance Geoff McCloskey, as the Foundation strategically bifurcated the position into two new leadership roles—one dedicated to finance and treasury, and another focused on operations.

The VP, Finance & Controller will provide financial oversight, strategic leadership, and operational excellence across all Foundation financial functions, including accounting, finance/treasury, fund administration, and gift services. This leader will serve as a trusted advisor to the President and a liaison to the Foundation’s Board of Directors, routinely staffing Finance, Audit, and Investment Committees.

The ideal candidate is a mission-driven, strategic financial leader who brings deep nonprofit and foundation experience, proven technical expertise, and the ability to engage effectively with C-suite executives, board members, and major donors. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape the future of one of California’s most respected healthcare foundations during an exciting period of growth and transformation.
