Strategic Finance Manager

POSITION OVERVIEW

Harbor Health is seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to serve as the analytical engine behind our most consequential forward-looking decisions. This role partners with business leaders to develop financial forecasts, pressure-test new ventures, and lead the financial design of zero-to-one initiatives — while working directly with the CFO on M&A and corporate development activity. The ideal candidate brings exceptional analytical capability paired with sharp business judgment, and is equally comfortable building a robust unit economics model and stepping back to ask whether the strategy itself holds up.

POSITION DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Strategic Planning & Business Case Development

• Partner with business leaders across clinical operations, network, growth, and product to evaluate new business ventures, geographic expansion, payer partnerships, and product extensions
• Build defensible business cases grounded in real unit economics — structured to hold up under scrutiny from the executive team, the board, capital partners, and regulators
• Develop and own scenario and sensitivity analyses that pressure-test the assumptions executives are about to bet the company on
• Translate complex analyses into clear recommendations and synthesize them into board-ready materials

• Zero-to-One Initiative Leadership

• Lead the financial design and operational stand-up of zero-to-one initiatives, from blank-page business model through pilot economics through scale-up plan
• Build the analytical scaffolding — data structures, KPIs, reporting cadences — for businesses or product lines that do not yet exist

• M&A & Corporate Development

• Partner directly with the CFO on M&A and corporate development opportunities, from initial screening through diligence through integration planning
• Build acquisition and partnership models, run diligence workstreams, and develop point-of-view memos for executive and board discussion
• Support capital raising and strategic financing workstreams, including investor materials, lender presentations, and term sheet analysis

• FP&A Partnership

• Partner with the VP of FP&A on business planning and step in on select monthly close activities as needed
• Contribute to organizational initiatives and mission-aligned activities across the finance function

DESIRED PROFESSIONAL SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Required:

• 3–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, growth equity, or top-tier strategy consulting — or a combination including 2+ years at a high-growth operating company in a strategic finance or corporate development role
• Exceptional financial modeling skills, with the ability to build models that are clean, auditable, and survive a rigorous review without being rebuilt
• Strong analytical capability paired with sharp business judgment, including the ability to spot when a model is mathematically correct but commercially wrong
• Comfort moving between detailed analysis and executive-level synthesis without losing the thread
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, structure unstructured problems, and deliver under deadline pressure
• Strong ownership mentality; you take responsibility for outcomes and have a low sense of entitlement
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to write a concise memo that a busy executive can act on
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, startup environment with evolving priorities and structures
• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline — finance, economics, engineering, math, or sciences — preferred

• Preferred:

• Exposure to healthcare services, health insurance, or value-based care — or genuine intellectual curiosity about how the U.S. health system works and where its economics break down
• Experience evaluating M&A or partnership opportunities end-to-end
• SQL proficiency and comfort working directly with data, with the ability to pull and analyze numbers independently
• Track record of partnering with non-finance leaders and earning their trust as a thought partner
• Familiarity with Harbor Health's payvider model and the strategic considerations that come with operating across insurance, clinical, and network functions

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary and incentives
• Generous PTO
• 10 paid holidays
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) Investment Plan
• Meaningful equity ownership in the business you help build
• Direct exposure to executives, the board, and capital partners
• A growth path that expands with the company, with room to grow into senior strategic finance and corporate development leadership as Harbor scales
