Job Description:

The Director for Emergency Management and Business Continuity (EMBC) provides strategic and operational oversight to ensure readiness, response, recovery, and resilience capabilities of caregivers and leaders across the entire system. The EMBC Director will strategically lead and manage emergency management and business continuity teams to maintain a culture of proactive preparedness while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations, along with collaborating and supporting the strategic procurement of necessary equipment, conducting routine program reviews, and leading activation of the enterprise emergency operations plan. Additionally, the EMBC Director will develop and implement long-term strategic plans to enhance the system's emergency management capabilities, assuring effective and efficient service delivery across all levels of the organization.

Along with offering a chance to work in a stable, strong, mission-based environment, this role provides the opportunity to experience the Mountain West’s diverse culture and incredible landscapes. You’ll be able to explore abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, hiking, and fishing, as well as stunning national parks and forests, all within hours of where you’ll call home. Becoming a part of the Intermountain team means gaining a family and finding a place to plant your roots.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind, and spiritual well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling, and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

With this position, you are eligible to participate in an annual pay-for-performance opportunity (“AP4P”). This plan enables Intermountain Health to provide leaders with an additional performance compensation opportunity. The AP4P opportunities are calculated as a percentage of your base salary. Awards are paid out based on attainment of selected Intermountain Health Board-approved goals.

**The ideal candidate must live within the Intermountain geographical footprint (Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah or Nevada) and be willing to travel throughout the system regularly for rounding.** To show our commitment to you and assist with your transition into our organization, we may offer a sign-on and/or a relocation bonus when applicable.
