About The Role

Veritas Veterinary Partners seeks an analytical, hospital-minded Director, Financial Planning & Analysis to turn Partner Hospital data into revenue growth and stronger EBITDA performance.

The Director, Financial Planning & Analysis owns hospital-level financial analytics across the network, working side by side with hospital directors, regional operations leaders and medical directors to understand what drives case volume, revenue and margin in a 24-hour specialty and emergency setting.

It is a strong fit for a finance leader who enjoys getting close to operations and helping hospital teams see the numbers behind the care they deliver.

• Maintain monthly hospital-level forecasts that roll up to the enterprise forecast owned by the VP, Financial Planning & Analysis.
• Project doctor compensation expense under production-based and salary models, including the effect of new hires, departures and compensation changes on hospital margin.
