Deployed by over 85 health plans, including many of the top 20, and representing more than 270 million lives, Machinify brings together a fully configurable and content-rich, AI-powered platform along with best-in-class expertise. We’re constantly reimagining what’s possible in our industry, creating disruptively simple, powerfully clear ways to maximize financial outcomes and drive down healthcare costs.\nAbout the Opportunity\nThe Director, Business Operations & Strategy sits in the Office of the Chief Transformation Officer and works directly with the Chief Executive Officer. The role turns executive strategy into finished material and closed action loops: Board of Directors presentations, private equity sponsor updates, decision memos, and the commitment tracking that holds the Executive Leadership Team accountable between meetings.\nThis is a build role. You will write the analysis, construct the slides, and drive the open items to closure yourself. It suits someone with a consulting or investment banking foundation who has moved in-house and wants proximity to the decisions, not one layer removed from the work.\nWhy This Role\nA front-row seat to private equity value creation, working directly with the CEO and the Chief Transformation Officer on a multi-year agenda backed by New Mountain Capital.\nDirect exposure to the Board of Directors, the sponsor, and the Executive Leadership Team of one of the largest platforms in healthcare payment integrity.\nAn environment where you are expected, and equipped, to use AI tooling at the leading edge of executive productivity rather than building everything by hand.\nWhat You Will Do\nStrategic Analysis and Decision Support\nBuild decision memos that lay out the options in a trade-off table, recommend a path with rationale, and name risks with owners and target close dates.\nRun market, competitor, and client analysis to support go-to-market, pricing, and product prioritization decisions.\nPartner with Finance on value capture quantification and EBITDA bridge inputs. Finance owns the numbers; you build the analysis and narrative around them.\nTake on problems that have no natural owner in the organization today, structure them, and drive them to a recommendation.\nM&A Analysis and Synergy Capture\nBuild the strategic analysis and investment thesis on prospective acquisition targets: market and capability fit, competitive positioning, total addressable market, the specific gap the target would close in the Machinify platform, and the proof points the Board and the sponsor will test.\nQuantify synergy capture across revenue and cost, with assumptions, phasing, and named owners. Build the EBITDA bridge from the target's standalone performance to its contribution under Machinify.\nSupport diligence end-to-end, from capability mapping and target prioritization through management presentations and the diligence request list.\nConvert an approved thesis into the post-close value capture plan with a defined baseline, milestone set, and measurement approach, then track realized synergy capture against the thesis and report variance with the reason, not only the number.\nExecutive Presentations and Narrative\nOwn the build of Board of Directors decks, the weekly sponsor update, and investor presentations, from raw functional inputs through to finished, sourced material.\nRun version control and pre-read discipline so the CEO and the Executive Leadership Team are never seeing a document for the first time in the room.\nPartner with the VP of Communications on written CEO and company communications, supplying the analysis, narrative structure, and source material.\nExecutive Operating Cadence\nPrepare weekly and monthly Executive Leadership Team agendas and pre-reads.\nMaintain action item hygiene in Notion and in the strategic initiative tracker.\nAdminister the quarterly OKR cycle, including collection, formatting, scoring, and variance reporting.\nDocument decisions, owners, and rationale with precision.\nTechnology-Enabled Productivity\nUsing AI tooling well is central to this role. Machinify is an AI-native platform, the Transformation Office owns AI enablement across the back office, and we expect this role to model how we want the rest of the company to work.\nUse AI tools, including Claude, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Notion, and Slack, to produce strong first drafts of analyses, summaries, briefing material, and internal documents.\nBuild reusable prompt systems and workflows for recurring executive deliverables rather than treating every cycle as a new task.\nVerify AI-assisted output before it reaches an executive. Speed does not excuse an unsourced number.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nIn the first 90 days, you have taken over production of the weekly sponsor update, stood up the CEO commitment tracker, and delivered your first independent decision memo.\nBy six months, you produce a full Board of Directors section without a rework cycle on structure or sourcing, and the Executive Leadership Team routes materials work to you by default.\nBy twelve months, Board and sponsor materials ship on schedule with no corrections issued after distribution, commitment closure runs above 90% on or before target date, and at least three of your memos have changed a decision or a resource allocation.\nThe Ideal Candidate\nComes from top-tier management consulting (MBB or Big 4 strategy), investment banking, or private equity, or from a Chief of Staff or business-operations seat beside a CEO. Builds rather than just advises, and we weigh the work over the title.\nThinks in frameworks and moves quickly when a question is ambiguous, structuring the problem and coming back with an early hypothesis the team can react to.\nWrites conclusion first, then builds the evidence behind it. Handles tough, fast edits without getting defensive.\nHolds two speeds at once. A Board narrative one hour, chasing a missing slide the next, with equal care for both. Closes the loop without being asked twice.\nInfluences across functions without formal authority. Gets Finance and functional leaders to deliver what the work needs, and treats escalation as a last resort, not a first move.\nPrecise about sourcing and discreet by default. Will not put a number in front of an executive without knowing where it came from, and handles Board, sponsor, and personnel information without exception.\nSees a CEO-facing build role as the fastest route to real exposure across the Board, the sponsor, the Executive Leadership Team, and live M&A, and to the runway it creates toward a Chief of Staff or VP seat.\nSkills and Qualifications\nRequired\nSeven to twelve years of professional experience, including at least three years in management consulting, investment banking, or an equivalent corporate strategy function.\nDemonstrated ownership of Board-level or investor-level materials. You can walk through a document you built and defend the structural choices.\nDirect working experience with a CEO, a C-suite executive, or a Board, not filtered through a layer of management.\nAdvanced PowerPoint and Excel. This is a build role, not a review role.\nDemonstrated daily use of AI tools such as Claude, Claude Cowork, or ChatGPT to produce executive work product, with the ability to describe a specific workflow you built and what it changed in cycle time or quality.\nWorking fluency with Notion and Slack, or the ability to pick them up quickly.\nExceptional written communication.\nBachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\nAbility to work on-site in our Dallas, TX office.\nPreferred\nHealthcare experience: payer, provider, health technology, or healthcare data. Payment integrity, claims, or revenue cycle exposure is a strong plus.\nPrivate equity-backed company experience, including sponsor and investor reporting.\nPrior Chief of Staff, business operations, or strategy and operations experience supporting a CEO or C-suite executive.\nPost-acquisition integration or M&A exposure.\nMBA or equivalent analytical training.\nWork Arrangement and Availability\nTravel is approximately 10% to 20%, driven by Board, Executive Leadership Team, and townhall cycles. Given the executive-facing nature of the work, the role also calls for flexibility outside standard business hours at times.\nWhat We Offer:\nTop Medical/Dental/Vision offerings\n\nFSA/HSA\n\nTuition reimbursement\n\nCompetitive salary, 401(k) with company match\n\nAdditional health and wellness benefits and perks\n\nFlexible and trusting environment where you’ll feel empowered to do your best work\nThe salary for this position is based on an array of factors unique to each candidate: Such as years and depth of experience, set skills, certifications, etc. We are hiring for different levels, and our Recruiting team will let you know if you qualify for a different role/range. \nPay range: $180,000-$210,000 + Annual Bonus\nEqual Employment Opportunity at Machinify\nWe are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status.
