Description:

                       Certificate of Need Executive Director (WMS Band 2)

Health Systems Quality Assurance – Office of Community Health Systems

Tumwater, WA (Remote Optional)

DOH7082P

Our ideal candidate has a driving passion for the work, brings humility to their job and interactions, and understands how their actions affect others. They see the needs and objectives of others and take them into account while achieving their own objectives, and they adapt their approach and expectations accordingly.

Our ideal candidate strives for engagement and partnership, even when confronted with others who are not open or collaborative. They are nimble and adaptive when faced with resistance, demonstrate resilience, and can have courageous conversations when needed.

The Certificate of Need Executive Director is responsible for directing the statewide Certificate of Need (CN) Program. Responsibilities include developing policy and practice standards, as well as managing complex external stakeholder relationships (e.g., hospitals, dialysis centers, hospice, etc.). This position steers the department and the program through difficult policy decisions in a rapidly evolving healthcare system.

The position is accountable for all aspects of section management including personnel, budget development and administration, legislation development, communications, and public education. The position is responsible and accountable for administering a biennium budget of approximately $2.25 million dollars.

When we talk to our Executive Director about their values, they’ll see themselves in words like Human-Centered, Partnership, Equity, and Excellence. They’ll also see in these words a challenge to improve—personally and organizationally—in pursuit of a better impact on people and better business outcomes.

When we ask others about our Executive Director, they’ll describe a person of remarkable capability, diligence, and focus. They’ll tell us about someone who:

• Sees and understands the objectives and challenges of people they work with and people they impact.
• Makes adjustments to what they’re doing based on what they learn.
• Holds themselves accountable for actually helping those around them succeed, as well as achieving their own business results.

It takes personal courage, tenacity, and humility to achieve big things in this way. Our ideal candidate probably wonders whether they’re up to this challenge. But they want to take it on because they’re hungry for personal growth and hungry to help build this kind of business, team, and workplace culture at the Department of Health.

The incumbent may be located anywhere within the State of Washington. Telework (mobile work) is currently expected. When approved, the incumbent will work with their supervisor to identify an appropriate work schedule and balance, including telework and reporting to the Tumwater duty station for work activities, if needed. 

Compensation

 This position reports to the Community Health Systems Office Director.  The annual compensation is between $85,020 and $114,360, depending upon qualifications.
