About Warbird Healthcare Advisors

Warbird Healthcare Advisors is a leading healthcare consulting firm specializing in strategic advisory services, operational improvement, and executive leadership solutions. We partner with hospitals and health systems nationwide to drive financial stability, operational efficiency, and leadership excellence.

We are seeking a Senior Revenue Cycle Executive to join our team of Executive Transitional Advisors. This role is designed for a proven revenue cycle leader who has sat in the seat—as a VP or SVP—and can now apply that experience to high-impact advisory engagements and interim executive leadership.

This is not a traditional consulting role, nor is it a purely operational assignment. We are looking for a rare profile: a senior operator with consultative acumen who can rapidly assess performance, quantify opportunity, and communicate clearly at the executive level.

What You Will Do

• Lead enterprise revenue cycle assessments across hospitals, health systems, and physician organizations
• Diagnose performance gaps across the full revenue cycle (front-end, HIM, coding, billing, denials, AR, cash)
• Quantify financial opportunity related to AR, DNFB, denials, underpayments, and cash acceleration
• Translate complex operational findings into clear, executive-ready insights and recommendations
• Deliver concise, compelling C-suite and Board-level readouts
• Develop pragmatic, prioritized improvement roadmaps aligned to organizational capacity
• Serve as Interim VP/SVP of Revenue Cycle when needed, providing stability and momentum
• Partner with executive teams to strengthen governance, accountability, and performance management

What Sets This Role Apart

• You will be expected to dive deep into the data—claims, denials, workqueues, KPIs—and elevate those findings into strategic, client-facing narratives and solutions

Required Background

• Former VP or SVP of Revenue Cycle (or equivalent enterprise role)
• Demonstrated success leading revenue cycle operations for hospitals or multi-entity health systems
• Proven experience delivering revenue cycle advisory engagements or enterprise assessments
• Deep, hands-on expertise in revenue cycle analytics, denial prevention, and revenue integrity
• Experience with major EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, Meditech)

Ideal Candidate

• A seasoned revenue cycle executive who has evolved into a trusted advisor
• Comfortable in ambiguity and complex environments
• Highly analytical, structured, and decisive
• Able to simplify complexity for non-technical executive audiences
• Credible with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Boards, and physician leadership
