SkyWater is excited to partner with a leading Midwest-based nonprofit healthcare organization (~$500M revenue) as they bring on a Vice President of Finance to step into a clearly defined CFO succession plan within 6-9 months.
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven organization at scale while shaping the future of its financial strategy and infrastructure.
Initially focused on operational finance leadership, you will oversee financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and regional finance teams across a multi-site organization. In short order, you will transition into the CFO role, assuming responsibility for enterprise financial strategy, capital planning, treasury, revenue cycle, and technology alignment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Defined, near-term path to CFO
Significant influence on organizational transformation
Mission-driven culture with strong leadership alignment
Opportunity to modernize systems and drive enterprise impact

What if your analytics work directly drove $100M+ business decisions?
If you are looking for a role that operates at the intersection of strategy, operations, and data where you’ll partner directly with executive leadership to help shape business decisions, this is the opportunity for you!
SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with a rapidly scaling, data-driven services company as they look to hire a Director of Strategic Analytics. This is a fully remote position focused on building and leading a high-impact analytics function. It’s a true “build + influence” opportunity reporting directly to the President, not a reporting role. As the head of this department, you will define KPI’s, build dashboards, and drive strategy across the full business lifecycle (marketing ? operations ? case outcomes).
This organization has grown to $400M in revenue with strong profitability and is on a trajectory towards multi-billion-dollar scale, and analytics will sit at the center of that growth.
What Sets This Apart:
Direct influence on company-wide strategy
Fully remote, high-performance culture
Opportunity to build analytics from the ground up
Significant growth trajectory and executive visibility
