Strategic Finance Manager

Position Overview

At Harbor Health, we're transforming healthcare in Texas through collaboration and innovation. We're seeking passionate individuals to help us create a member-centered experience that connects comprehensive healthcare with a modern payment model. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic environment where your contributions are valued, please bring your talents to our team!

The Strategic Finance Manager is the analytical engine behind Harbor's most consequential forward-looking decisions. This role partners with business leaders to develop financial forecasts, pressure-test new ventures, leads the financial design of zero-to-one initiatives, and works directly with the CFO on M&A and corporate development activity. The ideal candidate brings exceptional analytical horsepower paired with sharp business judgment and is equally comfortable building a robust unit economics model and stepping back to ask whether the strategy itself holds up. 

This is a hands-on role that will initially operate as an individual contributor with significant growth opportunity as Harbor scales. An ideal candidate is someone who can build the models themselves, pull and clean their own data, and do the unglamorous work alongside the high-visibility analysis. 

This is a remote role open to candidates anywhere in the United States, with periodic travel to Austin for in-person working sessions, executive meetings, and team offsites. The role reports to the VP of FP&A with close partnership and direct exposure to the CFO.

Position Duties & Responsibilities

• Partner with business leaders across clinical operations, network, growth, and product to evaluate new business ventures, geographic expansion, payer partnerships, and product extensions
• Build defensible business cases that hold up under scrutiny from the executive team, the board, capital partners, and regulators, grounded in real unit economics rather than directional math
• Develop and own scenario and sensitivity analyses that pressure-test the assumptions executives are about to bet the company on
• Lead the financial design and operational stand-up of zero-to-one initiatives, from blank-page business model through pilot economics through scale-up plan
• Build the analytical scaffolding (data structures, KPIs, reporting cadences) for businesses or product lines that do not yet exist
• Partner directly with the CFO on M&A and corporate development opportunities, from initial screening through diligence through integration planning
• Build acquisition and partnership models, run diligence workstreams, and develop point-of-view memos for executive and board discussion
• Support capital raising and strategic financing workstreams, including investor materials, lender presentations, and term sheet analysis
• Partner with the VP of FP&A on business planning, and step in on select monthly close activities as needed
• Translate complex analyses into clear recommendations and synthesize them into board-ready materials

Desired Professional Skills & Experience

Required

• 3-6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, growth equity, or top-tier strategy consulting, or a combination including 2+ years at a high-growth operating company in a strategic finance or corporate development role
• Exceptional financial modeling skills, with the ability to build models that are clean, auditable, and survive a director-level review without being rebuilt
• Strong analytical horsepower paired with sharp business judgment, including the ability to spot when a model is mathematically right but commercially wrong
• Comfort moving between detailed analysis and executive-level synthesis without losing the thread
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, structure unstructured problems, and deliver under deadline pressure
• A strong ownership mentality and low sense of entitlement; you take responsibility for outcomes
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to write a one-page memo that a busy executive can act on
• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline (finance, economics, engineering, math, sciences) preferred
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup environment with evolving priorities and structures

Preferred

• Exposure to healthcare services, health insurance, or value-based care, or genuine intellectual curiosity about how the U.S. health system works and where its economics break down
• Experience evaluating M&A or partnership opportunities end-to-end
• SQL proficiency and comfort working directly with data, with the ability to pull and analyze numbers independently
• Track record of partnering with non-finance leaders and earning their trust as a thought partner
• Familiarity with Harbor Health's payvider model and the strategic considerations that come with operating across insurance, clinical, and network functions

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape Harbor Health's strategic direction at a pivotal stage of organizational growth
• Meaningful equity ownership, so the business you help build is one you hold a real stake in
• A growth path that expands with the company, with room to grow into senior strategic finance and corporate development leadership as Harbor scales
• Direct line of sight to executives, the board, and capital partners; work that lands in front of decision-makers rather than getting filtered through layers of review
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment with a team that values clarity, judgment, and being right over being agreeable
• An organization made of people who are passionate about changing the healthcare landscape
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Professional development and growth opportunities
• A transparent and unique culture
