Who we are

At Blue Cross Blue Shield Global SolutionsSM (BCBS Global SolutionsSM), we make it easy for people and organizations to access and pay for healthcare abroad. By combining digital innovation with human-centered care, we go above and beyond for our customers and deliver an international healthcare experience that’s simple, efficient, and human.

Whether our customers live, work, travel or study abroad, we give them the confidence and peace of mind to embrace every journey and say “yes” to new possibilities.

What we’re looking for in our Director/Senior Director – Financial Strategy & Planning

You’re a strategic finance leader with a strong enterprise mindset and a passion for helping organizations make better, more informed decisions. You bring deep expertise in financial planning, forecasting and performance management within the healthcare industry.

You’re comfortable operating at the enterprise level, partnering closely with executives and Boards, influencing capital allocation and growth initiatives and asking the right questions when trade-offs need to be made. You can build the model, explain the implications and help leaders decide what’s next — all with clarity and confidence.

But you also understand this role isn’t just about numbers. It’s about people and relationships. You’re a trusted thought partner, a collaborative leader, and a developer of talent. You enjoy building strong teams, working across functions and raising the bar for how finance shows up for the business.

You aren’t a gatekeeper. You’re a strategic enabler. You translate numbers and complex analysis into language and clear insights everyone can understand.
