Chief Flight Officer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Surgery Partners
Surgery Partners is a leading operator of surgical facilities and ancillary services across the United States, partnering with physicians to deliver high-quality, lower-cost surgical care. With a national footprint of surgical hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices, we are entering an exciting
chapter of operational modernization and growth.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a Chief Transformation Officer to lead one of the most significant operating model changes in our company's history. Reporting to the CEO, you will own end-to-end delivery of a multiwave enterprise transformation that modernizes our service delivery model, technology foundation, and corporate operations — while preserving day-to-day performance and our differentiated physician partnership model.
This is a high-visibility, mission-critical role for a seasoned transformation leader who operates as a decision-maker, not a coordinator — comfortable making cross-functional tradeoffs in real time, controlling the pace of change, and holding peers accountable to outcomes across matrixed teams.

What You'll Do
• Own end-to-end delivery of a multi-wave enterprise transformation, partnering with the CEO and Executive Leadership Team.
• Stand up and lead the Transformation Management Office (TMO) — governance, planning, change management, value realization, and risk.
• Make the calls — resolve cross-functional tradeoffs, control sequencing, and intervene quickly when execution drifts.
• Inventory, rationalize, and integrate existing in-flight initiatives into a unified program view.
• Lead the selection and stand-up of strategic vendor partnerships that accelerate modernization and unlock scale.
• Stand up Shared Service Centers and Centers of Excellence across Finance, HR, Supply Chain, RCM, and other corporate functions.
• Orchestrate delivery across five workstreams: Shared Services, Enterprise Capabilities, Core Platforms & Data, Technology & Digital Enablement, and Revenue Growth Value Streams.
• Sponsor physician partner and facility-level communications, including market roadshows and feedback loops.
• Translate direction into executable plans and synthesize progress into clear, actionable updates for leadership.
What You'll Bring
• Significant senior leadership experience, with deep tenure in enterprise transformation, operating model redesign, or large-scale program leadership.
• Demonstrated track record delivering transformations at scale in complex, multi-site organizations.
• Direct experience leading or overseeing ERP implementations (Workday, Oracle Cloud, SAP S/4HANA, or equivalent).
• Experience structuring and managing strategic vendor partnerships across technology and services.
• Proven success standing up Shared Service Centers and Centers of Excellence.
• Experience inheriting and rationalizing a portfolio of in-flight initiatives within a larger transformation.
• Proven ability to lead through matrixed and dotted-line accountability structures.
• Strong financial acumen, executive presence, and ability to navigate ambiguity and complexity.
• A decision-driven leadership posture — empowered to act, comfortable holding peers accountable, and biased toward outcomes over activities.
• Healthcare services experience strongly preferred; experience with physician-partnered operating models a significant plus.
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree strongly preferred.

Why This Role
• Direct reporting line to the CEO with full SteerCo and Board visibility.
• Mandate, sponsorship, and resources to execute one of the largest transformations in the surgical services industry.
• Opportunity to shape the long-term operating model of a leading national platform.
• Highly competitive executive compensation package, including base, bonus, and equity.

Location
Nashville, TN (corporate headquarters) preferred. Significant travel to facilities, division offices, and vendor sites is expected during core delivery phases.
