Director, Strategic Financial Analysis

hireneXus
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 5/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/12/2026
Reports to: CEO

This position is with one of the largest multi-specialty physician groups in the country. Based in Chicagoland, the organization is also one of the fastest-growing healthcare networks in the U.S. and is backed by a leading private equity sponsor. The platform continues to invest heavily in enterprise strategy, operational excellence, and scalable infrastructure as it drives growth, performance improvement, and long-term value creation.

The organization is seeking a high-performing finance professional to join in a newly created role focused on enterprise-wide financial analysis and executive decision support. This position sits at the center of a complex, multi-entity business and provides direct exposure to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, and Private Equity stakeholders.

This role is the “A” in FP&A, fully dedicated to analysis, performance insight, and executive-level storytelling. The individual will work across large, complex datasets to develop clear perspectives on business performance, key value drivers, and opportunities to enhance EBITDA.

This is an ideal opportunity for candidates from investment banking, private equity, or top-tier consulting looking to transition into a highly visible, operator-facing role with real impact.

Work environment: Hybrid work model with approximately 50% in-office and 50% remote. Candidate should reside in the greater Chicago area.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own analysis of enterprise-wide financial and operational performance, identifying key drivers of revenue, cost, and EBITDA
  • Develop high-quality, executive-ready materials for the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, and Private Equity stakeholders
  • Translate complex, multi-variable data into clear insights and actionable recommendations
  • Partner directly with senior leaders across Finance, Operations, and Clinical teams to validate assumptions and refine analyses
  • Build and maintain detailed financial models to support performance tracking and strategic decision-making
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses on key business questions, including performance gaps, margin optimization, and growth opportunities
  • Support Board- and investor-level reporting with rigorous, insight-driven analysis

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field
  • 4-10 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or management consulting
  • Strong grasp of EBITDA, pro forma analysis, and core value creation levers
  • Advanced financial modeling skills and comfort working with large, complex datasets
  • Proven ability to independently structure analyses and produce executive-level outputs
  • Strong communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders

Preferred

  • Experience working with or within private equity-backed companies
  • Exposure to healthcare or other complex, multi-site operating models
  • MBA or equivalent experience

Why This Role

  • Direct, consistent exposure to CEO and Private Equity stakeholders
  • Opportunity to operate as a central analytical voice in a complex, high-growth business
  • Role focused on high-impact analysis, not budgeting or routine FP&A
  • Strong platform for transition from banking/consulting into an operator environment
