Position Overview

Calling all Esteemed Leaders! Are you a finance leader who excels at partnering with operational and clinical leaders to deliver financial clarity, accountability, and performance? Do you thrive in complex healthcare environments where data, insight, and collaboration drive outcomes? This leadership opportunity invites your expertise.

The Director Finance Labor Productivity & Benchmarking is responsible for advancing labor productivity as a core operational finance discipline across assigned ministries, translating worked hours, premium pay, agency usage, volume, acuity, and unit-of-service trends into clear, actionable opportunities for leaders.

• Own labor productivity as an operational finance discipline, translating worked hours, premium pay, agency usage, volume, acuity, and unit-of-service trends into clear opportunities that leaders can act on.
• Build credible benchmarking that leaders trust, comparing departments, facilities, service lines, and external benchmarks while adjusting for operational differences such as patient mix, acuity, staffing models, geography, regulatory requirements, and service intensity.
• Partner directly with operators, nursing, clinical leaders, HR, and finance, explaining variances without blame, challenging assumptions, and turning productivity findings into practical staffing and workflow decisions.
• Move beyond "hours per unit" into root-cause analysis, investigating drivers of labor variation including volume changes, scheduling practices, overtime, call-offs, skill mix, contract labor, sitters, care model design, throughput issues, and inconsistent unit-of-service definitions.
