The Chief Strategy Officer, Tribal & Indian Health (CSO) will lead the Company’s strategic engagement across the Tribal and Indian health care ecosystem, including Tribal governments, Tribal health organizations, Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs), and the Indian Health Service (IHS). The CSO will identify emerging needs and strategic opportunities, strengthen the Company’s position within the market, and align the Company’s capabilities with the evolving needs of the organizations it serves.

The CSO will bring deep expertise in the Indian health system, ISDEAA/638, federal health care funding mechanisms, and the relationships necessary to navigate this complex environment. The CSO will work directly with Tribal and Indian health leaders to understand organizational priorities, provide strategic guidance, identify opportunities to strengthen health care programs and access available federal resources, and advise organizations navigating the 638 transition and related aspects of health care self-determination.

A core responsibility of the role will be providing client-facing, billable 638 and Indian health strategy consulting. The CSO will help organizations assess their current health care structure, understand the implications and opportunities associated with 638, identify available federal resources and funding mechanisms, and develop strategic pathways for transitioning, expanding, or optimizing their health care programs. This work may include advising leadership, facilitating discussions with IHS and other stakeholders, developing transition strategies and roadmaps, and coordinating the appropriate expertise and resources needed to advance an organization’s objectives.

While the Company has established consulting capabilities, this Tribal and Indian health strategy service line is being developed. The CSO will help define and build the offering, lead engagements within their expertise, and identify the tools, specialized expertise, and other resources needed as client demand grows. The role calls for a leader who can deliver substantive consulting work directly while drawing on existing Company teams and recommending additional resources when justified by specific opportunities.

The CSO will also identify opportunities where the Company’s broader capabilities including health care staffing, clinical services, consulting, and operational support can address needs identified through this strategic work. When an opportunity requires specialized operational or staffing expertise, the CSO will collaborate with and facilitate a handoff to the appropriate Company team while remaining engaged in the overall relationship and strategic context.

The CSO will therefore serve as both a subject-matter expert and a strategic growth leader. The role combines direct delivery of revenue-generating consulting services with development of a new service line and opportunities for the Company’s other capabilities. The CSO will help organizations navigate complex health care decisions while creating meaningful, sustainable opportunities for the Company to support their objectives.

• Serve as the Company’s senior subject-matter expert on ISDEAA, 638 contracting and compacting, Tribal self-determination, and related Indian health care strategy.
• Advise Tribal leadership and health care executives on the strategic considerations, opportunities, requirements, and potential pathways associated with assuming or expanding control…
