Director: Healthcare Strategy

ATI Advisory is a healthcare research and advisory services firm changing how businesses, communities, and public programs serve complex populations. We deliver insight backed by original research and provide practical solutions for our clients and the families they serve. Our team includes nationally recognized experts across Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care, and provider delivery, and we bring an influential voice to efforts transforming health care.

ATI Advisory’s Growth and Innovation team builds new capabilities and takes ATI into new markets. Our strategy work serves a broad set of healthcare clients, including financial services firms such as private equity and growth equity firms, investment banks, and lenders; technology vendors and solution providers; life sciences companies; and operating companies. We help them understand what policy changes across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, long-term care, and programs for dual eligible individuals mean for their growth strategy, market position, and value.

The Director serves as project lead on strategy engagements across investor, vendor, life sciences, and operating company clients and owns their day-to-day delivery. They are the primary contact for the client’s project lead. The Director runs execution and project plans, develops and reviews deliverables for quality, and resolves most project and client issues directly. They also apply a strategy lens to ATI’s market intelligence and help shape how ATI uses artificial intelligence (AI) in research and delivery.

The Director reports to the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, who serves as executive sponsor on their engagements.

Lead investor engagements. Serve as project lead on buy-side diligence, sell-side market studies, and value creation plans. Run day-to-day execution and project plans, and tie each policy change to its effect on a target’s revenue, margin, and valuation.

Lead client strategy work. Advise technology vendors, solution providers, life sciences companies, and operating companies on market entry, pricing against reimbursement changes, and product positioning against Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rules.

Own deliverable quality. Develop complex deliverables and review your team’s work before it reaches the executive sponsor or client. Hold every deliverable to ATI’s quality and brand standards.

Manage scope, budget, and timeline. Plan staffing ahead of need, track budgets and timelines, and resolve most issues directly. Raise the risks that need the executive sponsor, with a proposed solution.

Serve as the client’s day-to-day lead. Work directly with the client’s project lead. Translate client needs into analyses and deliverables, keep the work tied to the client’s strategic goals (and, for investor clients, the deal timeline and investment thesis), and bring needs outside the current scope to the executive sponsor.

Bring subject matter expertise. Act as a go-to expert on how Medicare and Medicaid policy shapes healthcare markets and company value. Read a CMS final rule or a Medicaid managed care rate change and explain what it does to a company’s revenue, and bring in experts from across the firm when needed.

Apply the strategy lens. Review ATI’s market intelligence products and policy alerts, and help write the standard for what makes an insight relevant to investors and other stakeholders.

Use AI to deliver faster. Use AI tools fluently on live engagements to speed up research, analysis, and drafting. Work from ATI’s standard models and tools, improve them as you go, and draw on ATI’s internal and proprietary market data sources.

Contribute to new offerings. Bring lessons from delivery to the Growth…
