Director, Finance Operations | High-Growth, PE-Backed Healthcare Platform

Ascension Search Partners has been exclusively engaged by a PE-backed healthcare organization with 100+ locations seeking a Director, Finance Operations to lead procurement and cost strategy as the platform continues to scale.

This isn’t a traditional accounting or controller-track role. It’s a high-impact seat for an analytical finance leader who wants to turn spend into savings. You’ll own enterprise-wide vendor and systems consolidation, build the analytics behind every sourcing decision, and present results directly to senior leadership. The company would rather teach procurement to a strong finance professional than hire a procurement specialist, so finance horsepower matters most.

Why this role stands out:

• Own procurement strategy, vendor negotiations and cost-saving initiatives from day one
• Lead enterprise-wide vendor and systems consolidation across a multi-state footprint
• Measurable impact: savings you can quantify and present to executive leadership
• Support M&A integration as the platform keeps acquiring
• Build and lead a team, starting with one direct report and room to add more
• Clear runway into broader finance and operations leadership

Ideal for a finance leader with strong analytics and team leadership who wants more ownership, variety and executive exposure than a traditional accounting path offers.
