What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vice President, Operations & Strategy position at Career1Source - Executive Recruiting?
Vice President, Operations & Strategy
Atlanta, GA (Hybrid with Travel)
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a high-growth, private equity-backed healthcare platform that is scaling rapidly and investing heavily in operational excellence, infrastructure, and leadership.
It is a high-impact, highly visible role working directly with executive leadership and investors to drive growth, optimize performance, and build the operational engine of a multi-site, multi-state organization.
The Opportunity
This role is designed for a high-potential leader who thrives in fast-paced, build-and-scale environments and is looking for a clear path to enterprise leadership and full P&L ownership.
You’ll sit at the center of the organization—partnering with the COO and senior leadership team—to drive strategic initiatives, lead cross-functional execution, and elevate operational performance across the platform.
What You’ll Do
- Lead and execute enterprise-wide growth initiatives across multiple markets and service lines
- Drive operational excellence by building scalable processes, KPIs, and performance infrastructure
- Oversee cross-functional initiatives including procurement, training & development, and operational support functions
- Partner with clinical and operational leaders to enhance performance, efficiency, and patient outcomes
- Support M&A integration efforts, ensuring seamless onboarding of new locations and sustained performance post-close
- Champion continuous improvement and change management, helping the organization evolve as it scales
- Collaborate with executive leadership and investors, contributing to strategy, reporting, and board-level discussions
What We’re Looking For
- 5–10 years of experience in consulting, private equity, healthcare operations, or high-growth environments
- Exposure to or experience within a private equity-backed business
- Strong analytical and data-driven mindset, with experience building KPIs and performance dashboards
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders at all levels
- Experience in multi-site, multi-state environments (healthcare experience a plus)
- Executive presence with the ability to communicate effectively with leadership, physicians, and investors
- A hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves mentality with the ability to operate both strategically and tactically
Why This Role Stands Out
- Direct exposure to executive leadership and private equity sponsors
- Opportunity to build and scale critical functions from the ground up
- Significant runway for career advancement into senior executive and P&L leadership roles
- High-growth environment with meaningful impact on strategy and operations
- Competitive compensation, including bonus and long-term incentives
The Bottom Line
This is a career-defining opportunity for someone who wants to be in the middle of a fast-growing, PE-backed organization—driving real change, building infrastructure, and positioning themselves for senior leadership.
