Assistant Vice President of Oncology Services, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center

As the Assistant Vice President of Oncology Services at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, you will serve as the administrative leader and liaison for our cancer services across Medical, Radiation, and Surgical Oncology. Reporting directly to the VP of Clinical Operations and the corporate VP of Oncology Services, you will connect inpatient and outpatient services, drive strategic growth, strengthen clinical operations, optimize financial performance, develop high performing teams, and support facilities planning. Most importantly you will serve as a collaborative leader to advance exceptional cancer care at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

As the Assistant Vice President of Oncology Services, a typical day might include the following:

• Leading Operations & Teams: Partnering frequently with practice leaders to evaluate overall efficiency and capacity for medical oncology, hematology, radiation oncology and surgical oncology.
• Driving Financial Strategy & Revenue Cycle: Reviewing financial dashboards and volume metrics, auditing reimbursement processes, or modeling ROI for a proposed clinical program, equipment upgrade, or new business venture.
• Collaborating with Executive & Medical Leadership: Meeting with the VP of Clinical Operations, VP of Oncology, North Region, physician leaders, and department chairs to align strategic goals, address physician feedback, and implement oncology initiatives.
• Advancing Strategic Growth & Business Development: Partnering with hospital and service line leadership to grow campus volume for oncology clinical services, infusion, radiation and surgical oncology. With a goal of creating long-range business plans to capture market share.
• Focusing on Quality & Patient Experience: Responsible for leading and collaborating on initiatives for clinical quality metrics, regulatory compliance, and patient satisfaction scores, to ensure care delivery meets accreditation standards while fostering a top-tier patient experience.
• Engaging Community & Health System Partners: Joining marketing, public relations, or philanthropy teams to plan community outreach programs, strengthen regional awareness, or support fundraising campaigns for cancer services.

This role might be for you if you have experience with:

• Administrative Oversight: serving as the central operational leader bridging executive strategy with day-to-day healthcare delivery. This includes managing outpatient operations, overseeing affiliated physician practices, resolving physician-administrative conflicts alongside physician leaders, and recruiting high-performing teams to sustain programmatic growth.
• Financial Management: providing fiscal accountability for oncology programs—including infusion centers, radiation, and surgical oncology. Beyond managing capital and operating budgets, you build long-range financial models, evaluate return on investment (ROI) for new clinical programs, analyze revenue cycle metrics, and navigate complex managed care reimbursements to ensure strong bottom-line performance.
• Strategic Planning and Program Growth: acting as the primary ambassador for oncology programs. Partnering with local and service line leadership to develop outreach initiatives, representing organizations in public and community health initiatives and collaborating on philanthropic fundraising to support new equipment and patient care programs.
• Quality Management: Leading the clinical standards and reputation of the Oncology Program. This includes ensuring full compliance with state, federal, and voluntary accrediting bodies, establishing patient-centered safety programs, and building integrated processes designed to boost overall patient satisfaction scores to top-tier levels.

To be considered for this opportunity, you will need:

• A minimum of seven years of leadership experience within an oncology program or a similar healthcare management environment.
• A master's degree—such as an MHA, MBA, or MS—focused on healthcare administration, business administration, nursing, public health, or a related field.
