About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead its nationally recognized, nonprofit critical care air medical transport organization. The CEO will be the strategic leader, chief steward of safety and quality, and primary ambassador, responsible for advancing the mission of providing safe, reliable, and life-saving care to critically ill and injured patients. This role demands a seasoned executive with a background in healthcare, aviation, emergency services, or a similarly regulated, high-reliability environment. The successful candidate will be accountable for the organization's safety, quality, and regulatory compliance, and must have a proven track record of leading complex organizations with multiple stakeholders. Key responsibilities include strategic leadership, safety and high-reliability operations, financial stewardship, and fostering a culture of mission commitment and collaboration. Candidates for the CEO position at the company should have progressive senior executive experience, strong strategic and financial acumen, and the ability to lead organizational change within a mission-driven institution. Experience in healthcare reimbursement, revenue cycle performance, and a strong understanding of the regulatory framework governing air medical transport and aviation operations are highly valued. The CEO will work closely with the Board of Directors and member health systems, balancing enterprise priorities with individual member interests. The role requires a leader who can inspire trust, engage with external partners, and elevate the organization's national standing. A bachelor's degree is required, with a preference for an advanced degree in a related field, and the ideal candidate will have a strong aptitude for quickly developing fluency in the specialized domains of the organization.
