This role manages project initiatives relative to aligning resources to increase operational efficiency via process improvement and managing large-scale operational projects.
The Executive Director is responsible for leading the development of business plans, developing financial and administrative systems to support the plan and monitoring of progress in accomplishing the short and long-term business and strategic goals. A proactive data-driven approach is required. 30% of UCSF Health is nursing/clinical labor.
