Director | Financial Planning & Analysis (enterprise)

Department: Finance

Reports to: VP of Finance and Accounting

Position Summary: The Director of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) will play a pivotal role in transforming the financial planning function into a strategic powerhouse that drives enterprise-wide performance and decision-making. This leader will be responsible for building and scaling a FP&A Center of Excellence (COE), delivering proactive, data-driven insights that empower senior leadership to make informed, agile decisions in a dynamic healthcare environment.
