Job Summary

Point32Health is seeking a seasoned enterprise affordability leader to drive and accelerate our organization-wide affordability strategy across Commercial, Individual & Small Group, Medicare, Duals, and Medicaid lines of business throughout New England.

This executive will lead enterprise efforts to reduce Total Cost of Care (TCOC), improve medical cost performance, and strengthen long-term affordability for members, employer groups, and the broader healthcare ecosystem. The role requires a highly strategic and influential leader who can translate complex financial, clinical, operational, and market dynamics into clear enterprise action and measurable results.

This is not solely an analytics or reporting role. Success requires the ability to influence senior executives, align highly matrixed teams, challenge conventional thinking, and drive enterprise execution across clinical, operational, financial, and provider-facing functions.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in healthcare affordability, medical economics, provider economics, value-based care, utilization management, and payer operations, along with the executive presence and communication skills necessary to operate effectively with the CEO, ELT, Board committees, regulators, and external partners.

This leader will oversee and partner closely with the Medical Economics function and collaborate across Clinical Operations, Finance, Actuary, Product, Provider Partnerships, Government Programs, Population Health, Care Management, Pharmacy, and line-of-business leadership to identify affordability opportunities, drive accountability, and improve enterprise performance in a highly dynamic and evolving healthcare environment.

• Integrate health equity considerations into affordability and care model strategies where appropriate

Provider Strategy & Value-Based Care

• Collaborate with Provider Partnerships, Finance, and Actuarial teams to strengthen value-based payment strategies and provider performance models

• Support provider incentive structures, risk-sharing arrangements, and network affordability initiatives aligned to enterprise TCOC goals

• Drive transparency, accountability, and partnership with providers around affordability outcomes and performance expectations

Leadership & Organizational Effectiveness

• Operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving, and complex environments requiring agility, sound judgment, and executive maturity

• Contribute to broader enterprise transformation and performance improvement efforts as a strategic leader

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive executive leadership experience in healthcare affordability, medical economics, health plan finance, provider economics, or related areas
