Director Finance - Labor Productivity and Benchmarking

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 Role: 

The Director, Finance - Labor Productivity and Benchmarking is responsible for the following: 

• Owning labor productivity as an operational finance discipline, not just a reporting function. This role will translate worked hours, premium pay, agency usage, volume, acuity, and unit-of-service trends into clear opportunities that leaders can act on.
• Building credible benchmarking that leaders trust. The director will compare departments, facilities, service lines, and external benchmarks while adjusting for real operational differences such as patient mix, acuity, staffing models, geography, regulatory requirements, and service intensity.
• Partnering directly with operators, nursing, clinical leaders, HR, and finance. Success requires being able to sit with department leaders, explain variances without blame, challenge assumptions respectfully, and turn productivity findings into practical staffing and workflow decisions.
• Moving beyond “hours per unit” into root-cause analysis. The role will investigate what is driving 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.

• Developing tools, governance, and routines that create sustained performance improvement. This person will help maintain productivity standards, monthly review processes, dashboards, action plans, accountability forums, and savings validation so improvements are measurable and repeatable.

   

 Other responsibilities include the financial oversight of assigned ministries, including monitoring financial performance, variance reporting, supporting achievement of productivity and supply chain targets, and participating in ministry-level management meetings.

Primary responsibilities also include development and management of dashboards, supporting achievement of internal audit recommendations, and leading special projects at both the ministry and regional level.
