Its annual operating budget is approximately $1.6 billion.
THP’s mission is to create a new kind of health care for a healthier community.

The Position Reporting to the Senior Vice President, Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer, the interim Director, Financial Strategy and Planning provides strategic and operational leadership across all aspects of THP’s financial and business operations.

Provide leadership for THP’s operational, capital and treasury financial planning and reporting capabilities.

Provide support to key finance managers overseeing the operational planning, internal and OHRS external reporting, capital planning and reporting, as well as the treasury, cash, and investment management functions.
Support a range of corporate strategic projects and initiatives of the hospital related to capacity building projects, integrated care, capital and other strategic endeavours.
Provide support for the continued development of a best-in-class customer service model, working in partnership with a broad group of clinical and enabling services leaders across the organization.
Fostering a healthy, safe, respectful, equitable and inclusive workplace for diverse teams and individuals to thrive.
Experience The successful candidate will have leadership experience in health care and/or a similarly complex environment/sector, with experience at the Director-level an asset. With 5-7 years of progressive leadership experience, the successful candidate will ideally have in-depth knowledge of hospital finance, as well as broader health care industry knowledge. Knowledge and experience in leading strategic planning and service planning processes at the corporate-level is an asset. In addition to possessing an accounting designation, the candidate will be an energetic, strategic thinker with the ability to see beyond the numbers.

We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.
One of PHSA’s North Star priorities is to eradicate Indigenous-specific racism, which includes dismantling barriers to health care employment at every level. We welcome Indigenous individuals to apply and/or contact the Sanya'kula Team (Indigenous Recruitment & Employee Experience) for support at indigenous.employment@phsa.ca .
Indigenous-specific anti-racism initiatives are rooted in addressing the unique forms of discrimination, historical and ongoing injustices, and marginalization faced by Indigenous peoples. These initiatives align with an Indigenous rights-based approach, recognizing the inherent rights and self-determination of Indigenous communities. PHSA must uphold legislative obligations and provincial commitments found in the foundational documents such as including Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action (2015), In Plain Sight (2020), BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019), United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Reclaiming Power and Place Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Calls for Justice (2019), the Declaration Act Action Plan and Remembering Keegan: A First Nations Case Study.
