We're seeking passionate individuals to help us create a member-centered experience that connects comprehensive healthcare with a modern payment model. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic environment where your contributions are valued, please bring your talents to our team!The Strategic Finance Manager is the analytical engine behind Harbor's most consequential forward-looking decisions. This role partners with business leaders to develop financial forecasts, pressure-test new ventures, leads the financial design of zero-to-one initiatives, and works directly with the CFO on M&A and corporate development activity.
