Providence Living
Chief Financial Officer

Providence Living (PL), established by Providence Health Care (PHC) and St. Joseph’s General Hospital in 2017, is an independent, Catholic-sponsored, non-profit leader in long-term care and seniors services in British Columbia. PL is rethinking seniors care by designing environments that support independence and social connections. It operates homes in Vancouver and Comox and this summer will open Canada’s first public care village based on the concepts of a dementia village. Additionally, PL is expanding with a 200-bed village in Prince George and a 240-bed village in Vancouver. These expansions are part of a major growth strategy that may include acquiring PHC’s portfolio, adding six homes and over 800 beds.

An incredible opportunity exists for an individual to make a significant contribution to seniors’ care in our province. Reporting to the President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) assumes joint accountability for the attainment of strategic objectives and operations plans for the organization and is instrumental in supporting the organization’s transformation, redevelopment, and growth strategy for seniors’ care and other assisted living and community care services.

The CFO has a key role in the development and maintenance of the corporate and financial infrastructure of PL and provides executive oversight and organization-wide leadership in financial management and reporting, risk management, treasury management, and human resources. A member of the PL Senior Leadership Team, the CFO provides executive strategic leadership and operational oversight to teams carrying out the Accounting and Financial Reporting, Payroll, IT, and Human Resources functions, and effectively represents the organization’s interests and maintains relationships with organizations such as health authorities and other affiliate organizations, government ministries and agencies, community agencies, and contract providers.

As the ideal candidate you are a collaborative, innovative, and purpose-driven senior financial leader. A change-maker who can look beyond the pure numbers and identify opportunities, the CFO will work in tandem with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team in articulating a pathway for PL to work effectively with its key partner groups and the community as a whole. Ideally possessing health care experience and some knowledge or understanding of the unique nature of a faith-based enterprise, the CFO will thrive in a mission-driven organization. Bringing many years of senior financial leadership, along with a CPA designation, the ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to produce practical financial information that allows senior leaders to make informed decisions. Beyond the requisite technical financial skills and abilities, the CFO has a proven track record of effectively working with diverse groups in a shared vision and the ability to operate at both a strategic and operational level, identifying critical priorities to enable Providence Living to reach its ambitious goals.

The expected salary range for this position is $167,000 – $216,300 annually, supplemented by a competitive total compensation package.
