Job description

Job Summary

The Director, Market & Network Strategy is accountable for defining NVA's desired physical footprint market by market. This role determines where the enterprise should have a presence, how dense that presence should be, and how GP, Specialty and ER/Urgent Care locations should be configured across a market. The role's core output is a clear network point of view: which markets warrant investment and which footprint actions - expansion, relocation, consolidation, or new-site development - best position the portfolio for the future.

The Director leads the market-planning and network-design work required to reach those decisions. Using demand, competition, demographics, consumer economics, industry dynamics, and NVA's existing portfolio position, the role defines future-state facility mix, capacity, coverage, density, and white-space needs. The Director partners with Property Development, Finance, Growth, and Operations to test scenarios and recommend the portfolio moves that should advance into investment and execution planning.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the enterprise market-planning process and establish a prioritized view of where NVA should invest, maintain, reshape, or reduce its physical presence.
• Size and rank market opportunities using demand, competition, demographics, consumer economics, industry dynamics, and other relevant indicators.
• Assess NVA's existing GP, Specialty and ER/Urgent Care footprint to determine current coverage, capacity, density, competitive position, and structural gaps by market.
• Define the desired future-state network for each priority market, including facility mix, capacity, geographic coverage, network density, and white-space opportunities.
• Evaluate specific network actions - expansions, relocations, consolidations, and new sites - and compare the strategic advantages, tradeoffs, and sequencing of alternative footprint configurations.
• Develop market-level portfolio scenarios that show how different location and capacity choices would change NVA's coverage and market position.
• Set priorities for the Senior Analyst / Analyst, Market & Network Strategy and ensure analyses are designed to answer concrete footprint decisions rather than produce stand-alone market reporting.

Key Deliverables And Outcomes

• A prioritized enterprise market plan identifying where NVA should focus footprint investment and network actions.
• Future-state footprint blueprints for priority markets, defining facility mix, capacity, coverage, density, and white-space needs.
• Decision-ready scenarios comparing expansion, relocation, consolidation, and new-site alternatives.
• Clear market and network theses supporting proposed portfolio investments before they move into detailed feasibility or execution.
• A repeatable network-planning approach that enables comparable footprint decisions across markets.

Success Metrics

• Completion and decision-readiness of priority market footprint plans within enterprise planning and investment cycles.
• Clarity and specificity of recommendations on facility mix, capacity, coverage, density, and location actions.
• Quality of scenario tradeoffs and the degree to which recommendations distinguish among competing footprint options.
• Alignment of Property Development, Finance, Growth, and Operations around the market and network rationale for recommended actions.
• Consistency with which the network-planning methodology is applied across the portfolio.
