Job description

Baycrest is a globally recognized leader in the field of aging, offering a unique and rewarding opportunity to be part of an organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults. As a comprehensive academic health sciences centre, Baycrest provides a full spectrum of care, including independent living, long-term care, specialized hospital services, and innovative research. The campus is a dynamic and supportive environment where every team member contributes to transforming the way they care for older adults and advancing groundbreaking research in brain health.

Following Baycrest’s recent transition to a new corporate structure, the Vice President, Hospital Finance and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will provide strategic and operational leadership across all finance and reporting functions for the hospital’s post-acute and long-term care operations. This includes oversight of financial planning, reporting, analysis, and compliance, as well as supporting performance measurement and resource optimization. The VP & CFO leads the financial stewardship for the organization and utilizes best practices to implement financial, procurement and business intelligence systems compliant with regulations and legislation in an environment that informs the organization for decision making, clinical planning and supports excellence in the delivery of patient care. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a pivotal moment in Baycrest’s evolution – helping to modernize financial systems, strengthen integration across entities, and enable data-driven decision-making in support of the organization’s mission to advance care, research, and innovation in aging and brain health.

The ideal candidate is a strategic yet hands-on financial leader who thrives in complex, evolving environments. You bring both the discipline of sound financial stewardship and the creativity to find innovative solutions within a resource-constrained sector. You are collaborative and approachable, build strong relationships with clinical and corporate partners, and are adept at translating financial information into meaningful insights that support operational and strategic priorities. You hold a CPA designation and bring 10 years of progressive financial management experience in a hospital or closely related setting. Comfortable navigating ambiguity and change, you will be a trusted advisor to senior leadership and the Board, helping to ensure Baycrest’s financial sustainability and continued impact in the healthcare system.
