Job description

Location: Florida-based support center; primarily remote with periodic in-office time and travel

About the Company

Our client is a rapidly growing, private equity-backed specialty physician group operating across multiple states, with more than 700 providers and a large ancillary business that includes ambulatory surgery centers, laboratory and imaging services. The organization continues to grow through acquisitions and physician recruitment. It is actively investing in technology and AI, including ambient clinical documentation, AI-enabled call centers and Microsoft Copilot.

Position Summary

The VP of Health Informatics is a strategic, hands‑on leader who drives how the organization uses clinical technology and data to improve patient care, provider experience and operational efficiency. The role owns EHR and clinical applications, clinical data quality and quality reporting, and the interoperability that ties a complex ancillary environment together. Data and analytics are part of the scope but a smaller part of the role.

This leader serves as the organization’s “wide-angle lens”: someone who sees how a change in one system (for example, a laboratory platform) ripples through interfaces, clinical workflows and regional billing, and who plans for those effects before they happen.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a comprehensive health informatics strategy aligned with the organization’s clinical, operational and growth goals

What Success Looks Like

• Systems thinker: anticipates downstream effects, positive and negative, across clinical, technical and revenue cycle workflows
• Business athlete: connects technology decisions to provider experience and financial results, and moves at the pace of a growing, acquisitive organization
• Exceptional communicator: equally effective with physicians, clinical boards, executive leadership and the board of directors, and able to translate technical topics for non‑technical audiences
• Highly motivated: thrives in a demanding, fast‑paced role that sometimes requires after‑hours and weekend availability
