Why You'll Love This Job
Role Summary
The Vice President, Transformation & Enterprise Execution is responsible for leading the Hopebridge Transformation Office and serving as the CEO's strategic execution partner. This leader translates enterprise strategy into action, aligns leaders around the organization's highest-priority work, and ensures critical initiatives are governed, resourced, sequenced, measured, and delivered with discipline. Acting as the connective tissue across the Officer Team, functional leaders, field leadership, and execution teams, the VP drives enterprise governance, operating cadence, performance management, analytics, value realization, and organizational change management. The role requires the judgment and influence to challenge assumptions, accelerate action when progress is lagging, and slow initiatives when additional planning, stakeholder alignment, sequencing, or risk mitigation is required.
This is a highly operational transformation leadership role. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable shaping the enterprise transformation agenda, building the operating system to manage it, and rolling up their sleeves to solve cross-functional execution challenges. They must build credibility quickly by helping leaders clarify ownership, make decisions, remove barriers, and focus on the few priorities that matter most. The VP does not replace functional leaders or absorb operational accountability. Rather, this role ensures business functions collectively execute against enterprise priorities by creating alignment, driving accountability, surfacing risks, and ensuring commitments translate into measurable outcomes.
Success in this role will be measured by the organization's ability to establish a durable Transformation Office, improve speed and quality of decision-making, create a single enterprise view of performance, reduce cross-functional execution friction, and deliver measurable progress against Project Uplift and other strategic priorities.

Responsibilities
Enterprise Transformation & Execution Strategy
- Lead Hopebridge's enterprise transformation operating system, translating strategic priorities into a sequenced roadmap with clear owners, milestones, dependencies, KPIs, risks, and expected business outcomes.
- Serve as the enterprise integrator across Operations, Clinical, Finance, Talent, Technology, Compliance, Growth, and Communications to ensure transformation work is aligned to enterprise priorities and value creation.
- Partner with the CEO and Officer Team to identify the few priorities that matter most and ensure leadership time, resources, and decision-making are focused accordingly.
- Establish the discipline to distinguish activity from impact, ensuring initiatives are measured by outcomes rather than volume of work.
- Stand up and lead the Transformation Office, including governance structure, meeting cadence, initiative intake, prioritization, portfolio reviews, progress reporting, and escalation pathways.
- Create practical standards, templates, and tools for initiative charters, milestone tracking, risk management, benefit realization, decision logs, and executive reporting.
- Ensure Project Uplift and other enterprise initiatives are managed through a consistent operating rhythm that provides transparency into progress, decisions needed, risks, and value delivered.
- Build the organizational muscle required to sustain transformation beyond individual projects by embedding discipline into the broader operating model.
- Design and manage the executive operating cadence required to govern enterprise priorities, including leadership forums, monthly operating reviews, initiative reviews, decision forums, and CEO follow-up mechanisms.
- Help leaders move at the right pace: accelerating action when work is stalled and slowing efforts when risks, dependencies, readiness gaps, or unclear ownership could create rework or change fatigue.
- Prepare CEO-ready materials, decision briefs, issue summaries, and follow-up actions that enable timely, informed executive decisions.
- Track commitments made by senior leaders and ensure accountability for follow-through, escalation, and resolution.
- Partner with Finance, Analytics, Technology, Operations, and functional leaders to establish the enterprise scorecard and single source of truth for transformation and operating performance.
- Define and monitor leading indicators, KPIs, benefits, and risks tied to enterprise priorities, including access, intake conversion, clinician capacity, utilization, workforce stability, revenue cycle, margin, and center performance.
- Use data to surface emerging risks, execution gaps, cross-functional dependencies, and business performance trends before they become larger operational or financial issues.
- Support CEO, Board, and executive reporting with clear, credible, action-oriented analysis and recommendations.
- Create governance forums that clarify decision rights, resolve cross-functional tradeoffs, remove barriers, and prevent work from stalling between functions.
- Differentiate between leaders who participate in the work and leaders who are accountable for outcomes, ensuring ownership is named, visible, and reinforced.
- Constructively challenge senior leaders when assumptions are unclear, progress is lagging, priorities are misaligned, or plans lack operational readiness.
- Drive transparency into execution misses, unresolved decisions, dependencies, resource constraints, and risks requiring leadership action.
- Ensure major initiatives include practical change plans, stakeholder impact assessments, communication strategies, training/readiness support, adoption measures, and sustainability plans.
- Coordinate initiative sequencing and messaging to reduce confusion, duplication, and change fatigue across field and corporate teams.
- Partner with Communications, Talent, Clinical Operations, and functional leaders to equip leaders with clear narratives that explain what is changing, why it matters, what support is available, and what is expected.
- Create feedback loops that surface frontline barriers, adoption risks, and operational friction quickly so leaders can respond with practical support.
- Assess enterprise initiatives based on business impact, operational readiness, capacity, dependencies, risk, and change burden.
- Recommend sequencing decisions that balance urgency with discipline, ensuring the organization can execute critical work without overwhelming teams or creating avoidable rework.
- Identify risks early and escalate unresolved issues to the CEO and appropriate executive forums with options, tradeoffs, recommendations, and decisions needed.
- Ensure strategic initiatives are connected to measurable value creation and that benefits are tracked through implementation, adoption, and sustained performance.
