About the Role
As the Senior Manager, FP&A (Health Plan & Health Systems), you will serve as the primary financial architect and strategic partner for our newest and most dynamic vertical. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, you will act as the financial and strategic partner for the Health Plan and Health Systems business unit, providing the data-driven insights necessary to scale operations, optimize clinical outcomes, and drive profitability.
This is not a "back-office" role. You will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, working side-by-side with the President of the Health Plan vertical and their leadership team to influence long-term planning and real-time decision-making. You will also be responsible for building and mentoring a high-performing team, starting with the direct management of a Manager, FP&A.

Lead Vertical Planning: Direct the annual budgeting and multi-year forecasting processes for the Health Plan & Health Systems vertical, ensuring alignment with corporate financial targets.
Executive Advisory: Act as a key stakeholder in leadership meetings, translating complex financial data into actionable strategies for the President and vertical heads.
New Initiative Support: Provide financial modeling and "what-if" analysis for new product launches, geographical expansions, and potential value-based care arrangements.

Performance Management: Develop and monitor vertical-specific KPIs to identify risks and opportunities.
Monthly P&L Ownership: Lead the month-end close analysis for the vertical, providing deep-dive variance reporting that explains the why behind the numbers.

Process Improvement: Design and implement scalable financial processes and reporting tools specifically tailored to the unique needs of health systems and payer models.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the bridge between the vertical leadership and the broader Corporate Finance team to ensure consistency in reporting and data integrity.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. An MBA or CPA is strongly preferred.
Experience: 7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A or Corporate Finance. At least 3+ years within the Healthcare industry (specifically Health Plans, Payers, or Integrated Delivery Networks).
Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of healthcare-specific financial metrics, including PMPM (Per Member Per Month) analysis, Value-Based Care models, and healthcare regulatory environments.
Leadership: 2+ years of experience directly managing and developing professional-level staff.
Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (financial modeling is a core requirement) and experience with ERP/EPM tools (e.g., Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, or NetSuite).
