Own Your Market. Build Meaningful Relationships. Make a Difference When It Matters Most.
Visiting Nurse Health System (VNHS) is looking for a Director of Business Operations (DBO) who is energized by getting the details exactly right. This role owns the financial, operational, and regulatory infrastructure behind our Medicaid Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program - the systems, data, and compliance frameworks that determine whether high-quality, member-centered care can be delivered consistently and accurately, day after day.
You will be the person others rely on to know the regulations cold, catch what others miss, and build the reporting and process infrastructure that holds up under audit. This is a role for someone who trusts data over assumptions, prefers a well-documented process to a shortcut, and takes real pride in being the resident authority on how the program should run. You'll work with a fair amount of autonomy, own a defined set of financial and compliance functions outright, and partner with clinical leadership and program managers where systems intersect - not as a matter of constant collaboration, but where precision on your end genuinely changes the outcome on theirs.
What You'll Do:
Strategic & Operational Leadership
Develop and implement operational strategies that support program growth, sustainability, and service excellence.
Support process improvement initiatives to enhance service delivery, efficiency, and client satisfaction.
Own the KPI reporting process end-to-end - monitor performance metrics, build the action plans they call for, and be the one who can explain exactly why a number moved.
Coordinate data collection and analysis to support case management operations.
Support expansion initiatives, partnerships, and community engagement efforts in collaboration with the EDO.
Collaborate with the EDO in budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting for the program.
Ensure fiscal accountability, cost control, and responsible resource allocation.
Manage revenue cycle processes, including billing, reimbursement, and contract oversight.

Compliance & Risk Management
Know the regulatory requirements, accreditation standards, and payer guidelines well enough to be the final word on whether something is compliant.
Oversee policy development and implementation to maintain operational compliance.
Manage audits, reporting requirements, and risk mitigation strategies.
Investigate internal and external complaints related to referrals, communication, provider relations, and case management activities.
Maintain documentation systems aligned with healthcare and community care regulations.

Why This Role Suits a Deep Subject-Matter Expert
This job is built for someone who would rather be right than be popular about it. You'll have real independence over your area of the program, a structured, process-driven environment to operate in, and few direct reports to manage rather than a large team to keep herded. Recognition here comes in the form of being trusted as the authority on your subject - the one people come to when they need the real answer, not the quick one. If you'd rather dig into the regulation, the spreadsheet, or the audit trail yourself than delegate it, and you take satisfaction in a system that’s finally airtight, this role was written with you in mind.
