Chief Executive Officer

The New York Health Plan Association (HPA) seeks a dynamic and influential leader to serve as its next President & Chief Executive Officer. Representing health plans that provide coverage to millions of New Yorkers, HPA is a respected voice in healthcare policy, legislative advocacy, regulatory affairs, and industry leadership throughout the state. As healthcare organizations navigate an increasingly complex political, regulatory, and market environment, the next CEO will have the opportunity to shape policy discussions, strengthen the association's influence, and advance solutions that improve access, affordability, and quality of care for New Yorkers.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the President & CEO will serve as HPA's chief strategist, spokesperson, and advocate, working closely with member organizations, policymakers, regulators, legislators, and healthcare stakeholders. The successful candidate will build upon HPA's strong reputation while helping the association become even more proactive, visible, and effective in addressing emerging challenges and opportunities facing the healthcare industry. This leader will balance the interests of a diverse membership, foster collaboration and consensus, and champion a forward-looking advocacy agenda that positions HPA as a trusted and influential voice in New York healthcare.

The ideal candidate will bring a demonstrated track record of leadership, policy influence, and relationship building within complex organizations or public affairs environments. They will possess strong political acumen, exceptional communication skills, executive presence, and the ability to navigate competing priorities while advancing strategic objectives. Experience within healthcare, government, public policy, association management, or a similarly complex sector is highly desirable, as is a deep understanding of New York's political, regulatory, and healthcare landscape.

Salary range: $325,000-$375,000. Compensation will be commensurate with both experience and achievement and includes a highly competitive array of benefits and incentives.
