Lexington Health, located in the South Carolina Midlands, seeks a strategic and accomplished executive to serve as the organization’s inaugural Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). This is an exceptional opportunity to provide enterprise leadership over revenue cycle operations and managed care strategy within a highly respected, independent nonprofit health system with a long-standing commitment to quality, community care, and financial stewardship.
Lexington Health is a comprehensive network of care anchored by Lexington Medical Center, a 607‑bed Magnet®‑designated teaching hospital. The system serves the healthcare needs of the region through a broad and integrated delivery network that includes more than 80 physician practices, six accredited urgent care centers, and a range of specialized clinical and extended‑care facilities. With approximately $1.8 billion in annual revenue, more than 9,000 employees, and a medical staff of nearly 900 physicians and advanced practice providers, Lexington Health delivers care across inpatient, outpatient, urgent, and post‑acute settings throughout the Midlands.
The CRO represents a new and important addition to Lexington Health's leadership team, created to further strengthen and align revenue cycle and managed care capabilities amid an increasingly complex reimbursement environment. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, the CRO will serve as a key financial and operational leader driving the modernization and transformation of the function into a highly integrated, forward-looking model. The executive will play a central role in advancing the organization’s revenue strategy by ensuring coordinated, high‑performing operations across patient access, coding and documentation, billing and collections, denial management, and payer contract performance. A central mandate of the CRO will be to partner closely with leaders across Lexington Health to connect disparate functions and develop a unified strategy. Another key priority for the CRO will be evaluating and deploying new technologies to improve denial prevention, coding accuracy, revenue integrity, and administrative efficiency. It is imperative that the CRO partner closely with IT, compliance, and clinical leaders to deploy new tools and accelerate adoption across the enterprise as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve.
The Chief Revenue Officer will inherit a highly experienced and stable leadership team, providing a strong foundation for advancing the organization’s strategic objectives. A key priority will be to establish and align clear KPIs and performance metrics with the broader strategic and financial plan, ensuring that day‑to‑day execution directly supports enterprise goals.
The ideal candidate will be a data‑driven and collaborative leader with the ability to balance strategic vision with operational discipline. Success in the role will require strong executive presence, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to build trust and alignment across a complex organization. This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned revenue cycle executive to step into a newly created enterprise role and shape the future of revenue strategy at an independent health system where stability, performance, and purpose are deeply embedded in the culture.
