Job Summary GENERAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW STATEMENT: As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham (MGB) is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community by leading innovation across our system. Founded by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, MGB supports a complete continuum of care including two academic medical centers, community and specialty hospitals, a managed care organization, a physician network, community health centers, home care and other health-related entities. The DOM is the largest academic department at both BWH and MGH – and will likely be the largest in the country when fully integrated – and supports a balanced portfolio of clinical services, biomedical research, and education. The DOM is a Harvard Medical School (HMS)-affiliated academic department with >1,900 faculty members, ~20 combined divisions plus research institutes, >500 trainees in accredited programs, nearly $695 million in annual total direct research expenditures, and annual operating revenue of >$1.15 billion dollars across both the hospital and physician organizations. Information on each DOM division with clinical, research, and educational components may be found in the supplement. The Division Administrator (DA) is the lead administrator for the Division, within the Department of Medicine (DOM) for Mass General Brigham’s Academic Medical Centers (AMCs): Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital (BWFH), Brigham and Women’s ambulatory sites, and Brigham and Women’s Physicians Organization (BWPO), Mass General Hospital (MGH), Mass General ambulatory sites, and the Mass General Physicians Organization (MGPO). The DA reports jointly to the DOM AMC Executive Director (ED) of Research and to the Chief of Genetics. The DA is accountable for the overall administrative and strategic leadership, operating results, and cost center financial performance of the Division, and may serve as an institutional leader across both the physicians organizations and the hospitals. The DA partners closely with leaders within the DOM and its central team, as well as leaders across BWH/BWFH, BWPO, MGH, MGPO, and MGB. The DA will have accountability for managing the resources of the Division to meet the AMC-wide expectations of performance, MGB integration, and optimization. Due to the senior level of this position, the DA may also communicate with, prepare materials for, receive direction from, and provide counsel to the Chair, Executive Vice Chair, or Vice President (VP) of the Department of Medicine, the Senior Vice President for AMC Medical Departmental Operations (SVP), and other executive leaders. The scope of this management role spans the AMC entities. The DA will serve as one of the principal architects of a unified Division across the AMCs. In doing so, the DA will work with the Chief, ED, VP, Chair, and SVP to develop and execute upon a multi-year plan to horizontally integrate most activities and structures that are presently distinct across the two DOM divisions. This will require not only strategic acumen and interpersonal sensitivity during a time of significant change, but also an integrated administrative leadership team that can simultaneously support ongoing integration efforts and the day-to-day operations of the Division with broadly distributed people, ensuring the continued successful functioning of the clinical, education, research, and community-serving activities.
