Executive Director, Clinical Performance & Transformation

The Company is seeking an Executive Director, Clinical Performance & Transformation to lead strategic and operational initiatives across adult inpatient and emergency care. The role translates organizational priorities into implementation plans, measurable outcomes, and sustained improvements in clinical performance, patient experience, and workforce engagement. Working with clinical, operational, physician, quality, and frontline teams, the leader will use performance data to identify gaps, coordinate evidence-based improvements, remove implementation barriers, and monitor progress. Key priorities include preventing hospital-acquired infections, pressure injuries, and falls; improving discharge planning, patient flow, and care transitions; and strengthening performance against external benchmarks. Candidates must hold a master’s degree in nursing, healthcare administration, public health, organizational development, business administration, or a related field; a doctoral degree is preferred. At least 10 years of nursing experience, including progressive operational leadership in a complex healthcare environment, is required, along with current or eligible registered nurse licensure in the relevant state. Applicants should bring experience leading system-wide improvement, transformation, or change initiatives and working directly with frontline leaders and interdisciplinary teams. Strong analytical, communication, and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and drive accountability without direct authority. National nursing certification is strongly preferred, and training in Lean/Six Sigma, change management, project management, or organizational transformation is valuable.
