- Leading the identification, development and communication of financial, efficiency and value opportunities, ensuring alignment with value-based healthcare programmes and effective engagement with Clinical Care Groups.
- Providing leadership and direction for the Business Intelligence and Value, Costing and Commissioning finance teams, working closely with Finance Business Partners to support delivery of Health Board objectives.
- Lead role within the commissioning agenda, focused on Long-Term Agreements and Service Level Agreements with other Health Boards and healthcare providers, assessing in-year performance and supporting effective financial negotiations to secure value and financial sustainability.
- Working closely with the Head of Strategic Commissioning and other senior colleagues to support the development of regional working and collaborative service arrangements.
- Continuing to develop and refine the Health Board's costing methodology.
- Providing oversight and expert input into financial impact reviews.
- Developing the Health Board's understanding of the financial impact of healthcare demand.
- Working with the Assistant Director of Finance - Commissioning, Business Intelligence and Value across the Team's agenda.
- Leading the Commissioning, Value and Business Intelligence team in supporting the development of annual business plans and three-year strategies.

We work in partnership with the three local authorities, as well as public, private and third sector colleagues, including our valued team of volunteers.
The successful candidate will lead and shape key areas of the Commissioning, Business Intelligence and Value agenda, including support for service transformation, financial sustainability, medium and long-term planning, costing, commissioning arrangements and regional working. You will work collaboratively with colleagues within the Health Board and with external partners to ensure robust financial advice, effective agreements and a clear focus on improving value for patients and communities, whilst raising understanding of costs of service delivery and of efficiency opportunities within the Health Board.
We are committed to supporting colleagues to develop and succeed. You will be joining a finance function that values professionalism, collaboration, improvement and constructive challenge, with opportunities to contribute to the future direction of both the team and the wider organisation.
