Job Description & How to Apply Below
- We are building out our team with Senior Consultants who have a strong understanding of how healthcare payer organizations operate, especially in the commercial market, and how reimbursement, payment structures, and policies influence decisions and outcomes.
- Candidates may bring payer strategy/transformation experience (enterprise strategy, operating model, performance improvement) and/or payer operations/payment experience (claims/payment functions, analytics, policy-informed operations), with the ability to lead work streams and coach others.
- Lead defined work streams within healthcare strategy and transformation engagements, owning the day-to-day execution, analytic outputs, and storyline development to ensure high-quality, on-time delivery with minimal oversight.
- Translate ambiguous client needs into structured problem solving: frame the problem, develop hypotheses, design the workplan, and drive execution (including task planning, analysis, synthesis, and risk/issue escalation).
- Apply commercial payer/provider expertise to federal health challenges, bringing a pragmatic perspective on how reimbursement, payment structures, and policy-driven incentives influence operations, provider behavior, and performance outcomes.
- Perform and guide analysis to insight: collect/clean data, conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses, and turn findings into decision-ready implications (e.g., trend insights, root cause drivers, opportunity sizing, and prioritization).
- Develop executive-ready deliverables (PowerPoint and brief written products) that clearly communicate “so what” insights—using strong narrative structure, exhibits, and concise recommendations.
- Support operational and performance transformation by mapping current state, identifying pain points, designing target-state processes/operating models, and defining governance and metrics (including performance measurement and reporting approaches).
- Facilitate stakeholder engagement: plan and lead working sessions, interviews, and workshops; synthesize inputs; and manage workstream communications with client and internal stakeholders.
- Coach and mentor junior staff through thoughtful delegation, quality review, and actionable feedback, raising the bar on analytical rigor and client-ready communication.
- Contribute to internal capability building (templates, accelerators, thought leadership) and, as needed, support proposals/capture efforts across the firm.
- Bachelor’s degree.
- 3+ years of experience in consulting and/or healthcare industry roles.
- Demonstrated experience in healthcare strategy and/or transformation, with exposure to payer/provider, operating models, or performance improvement.
- Strong understanding of commercial payer/provider environments, including reimbursement/payment fundamentals and how policy and payment structures affect outcomes.
- Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data; advanced Excel proficiency required.
- Proven ability to lead work streams, build client-ready deliverables, and communicate effectively (written and verbal).
- Ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance (i.e. US Citizenship required)
- Ability to travel as needed (up to 25%).
Demonstrates expertise in healthcare payer strategy and transformation, with strong analytical skills and the ability to lead work streams and develop executive-ready deliverables. Proficient in translating complex client needs into structured problem-solving and actionable insights.
