About The Position

Alignment Health is breaking the mold in conventional health care, committed to serving seniors and those who need it most: the chronically ill and frail. It takes an entire team of passionate and caring people, united in our mission to put the senior first. We have built a team of talented and experienced people who are passionate about transforming the lives of the seniors we serve. In this fast-growing company, you will find ample room for growth and innovation alongside the Alignment Health community. Working at Alignment Health provides an opportunity to do work that really matters, not only changing lives but saving them. Together. The Senior Director, Enterprise Financial Systems (Remote) is the executive technology owner responsible for leading the implementation and long-term operational excellence of the organization's Oracle Cloud Financials platform — the financial backbone supporting our Medicare Advantage operations. This leader serves as the strategic bridge between Digital Technology Services (DTS) and Finance, partnering directly with the CFO, Corporate Controller, and VP of Finance to ensure our financial systems architecture is reliable, compliant, and built to scale. In the near term, this role spearheads a full-lifecycle Oracle Cloud ERP implementation spanning General Ledger, Payables, Receivables, Fixed Assets, Cash Management, and Enterprise Performance Management; post go-live, it transitions to directing ongoing platform operations, continuous improvement, and the long-term technology roadmap. This position is critical to the organization because financial system integrity directly enables our ability to serve Medicare Advantage members, meet CMS reporting requirements, and sustain the operational performance that underpins our growth.
