Strategic Finance Manager

Description

Harbor Health

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.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role with significant growth opportunity as Harbor scales. We're looking for someone who builds the models themselves, pulls and cleans their own data, and does the unglamorous work alongside the high-visibility analysis. The role is fully remote and open to candidates anywhere in the United States, with periodic travel to Austin for in-person working sessions, executive meetings, and team offsites. It reports to the VP of FP&A with close partnership and direct exposure to the CFO.

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

• 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; takes responsibility for outcomes with 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
• Preferred: experience evaluating M&A or partnership opportunities end-to-end
• Preferred: SQL proficiency and comfort working directly with data, with the ability to pull and analyze numbers independently
• Preferred: track record of partnering with non-finance leaders and earning their trust as a thought partner
• Preferred: 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
