Job Title & Role Description:

The Vice President, Value-Based Finance is the enterprise owner of financial performance for Upward Health’s risk-based business model. This role reports to the CFO and currently has three direct reports. This role is accountable for how value-based contracts perform economically, how financial risk is measured and managed, and how those realities are reflected in company-wide planning and strategy.

This position operates as a hands-on executive leader, combining strategic influence with deep analytical rigor in a lean, high-impact finance organization. The VP serves as the primary financial authority on value-based care economics, directly influencing payer strategy, contract structure, and organizational risk appetite.

The role partners closely with the CFO, executive leadership team, and Board of Directors to translate complex healthcare economics into clear, actionable insights that guide enterprise decision-making. Unlike traditional FP&A roles, this position carries decision-shaping responsibility, owning both the interpretation and performance management of risk-bearing contracts.

Key responsibilities include enterprise ownership of value-based contract economics, leadership of FP&A processes embedded in risk models, actuarial-style financial analysis, advanced data engagement, and executive-level financial governance. The VP also leads and develops a small team of analysts while setting a high bar for analytical rigor and business impact.

Skills Required:

Deep expertise in value-based care economics and risk-bearing contract structures

Advanced financial modeling, scenario analysis, and forecasting capabilities

Strong FP&A leadership with experience supporting executive and Board-level decision-making

Proficiency in SQL and ability to work directly with large healthcare datasets

Actuarial-informed analytical thinking (medical cost modeling, risk exposure, utilization trends)

Ability to translate complex financial and healthcare data into clear strategic insights

Strong business acumen with understanding of payer-provider dynamics

Executive communication and presentation skills

Strategic thinking with the ability to influence enterprise direction

Leadership and team development in a lean, high-performance environment

Key Behaviors:

Acts as an Enterprise Owner: Takes full accountability for the financial performance of value-based contracts, not just reporting outcomes

Drives Decision-Making: Proactively shapes strategic decisions rather than reacting to them

Maintains Analytical Rigor: Grounds all conclusions in data validation and first-principles thinking

Operates with Executive Presence: Communicates complex topics clearly and confidently to senior stakeholders and the Board

Balances Strategy and Execution: Moves seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on analytical work

Exercises Sound Judgment Under Uncertainty: Makes informed decisions in complex, ambiguous, and risk-laden environments

Partners Cross-Functionally: Collaborates effectively with payer, clinical, actuarial, and operational leaders

Challenges Constructively: Provides independent, data-driven perspectives even when they may be unpopular

Builds Scalable Thinking: Establishes repeatable frameworks for financial and economic analysis

Develops Talent: Coaches and elevates team performance despite a lean structure

Competencies:

Value-Based Care Financial Expertise

Demonstrates deep understanding of payer-provider risk arrangements, including capitation, shared savings, and downside risk models

Strategic Financial Leadership (FP&A)

Leads enterprise forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning processes

Integrates contract-level economics into consolidated financial strategy

Influences executive and Board-level decision-making with actionable insights

Risk Assessment & Actuarial Thinking

Assesses margin volatility and downside risk across populations

Partners effectively with actuarial and analytics teams to refine assumptions and models

Advanced Analytics & Data Fluency

Engages directly with data using SQL and other analytical tools

Validates financial insights through detailed data interrogation

Establishes standards for rigorous, repeatable analysis

Translates complex healthcare and financial concepts into clear, concise narratives

Communicates effectively with executives, Board members, and external stakeholders

Frames trade-offs between growth, margin, risk, and outcomes

Business Partnership & Cross-Functional Leadership
