Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Company is in search of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization through a critical and transformative period in healthcare. The CEO will be the primary advocate, strategist, and spokesperson, working closely with member CEOs, governing boards, policymakers, and key stakeholders to provide visionary leadership and advance a unified agenda. This role is pivotal in shaping the future of healthcare delivery for the state's most vulnerable populations, particularly in the face of the acute challenges related to the political environment, systemic underfunding, and rising healthcare costs. The successful candidate will be responsible for setting and executing the strategic direction, building consensus among diverse constituencies, and ensuring the sustainability and strength of the public healthcare systems. Applicants for the CEO position at the company should be dynamic, highly respected, and relationship-driven executives with a proven track record in healthcare leadership. The role requires a leader who can effectively coalesce members, influence policy leaders across party lines, and support a dedicated team. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape, including issues such as Medi-Cal financing, delivery system transformation, and value-based care. A strong background in advocacy, policy development, and a commitment to improving access, quality, and health outcomes for vulnerable populations is essential. The CEO will also be expected to partner with the Board, engage with the community, and represent the organization at the state and federal levels.
