Schedule:

Full time, Day Posted:
The Director, Professional Services & Business Consulting Team leads MHK's client-facing consulting organization end to end - spanning Business Consulting, Technical Consulting, and the Configuration Practice - across Utilization Management, Care Management, Pharmacy Management, and Complaints, Appeals & Grievances. Reporting directly to the CTO, the Director owns solution direction throughout the customer lifecycle, the quality and consistency of consulting delivery, and the commercial performance of the function (billable utilization and consulting services revenue).

This is a senior leadership role accountable for managing both people and outcomes: building and developing a high-performing team of subject matter experts, owning the Consulting QA SOP and delivery standards, operationalizing structured hand-offs from Product to Professional Services, and continuously evolving the team's use of AI - shifting time away from manual execution and toward higher-value customer engagement, requirements gathering, and solution delivery.

Position Responsibilities:

Function Leadership & Team Development Lead the Business Consulting, Technical Consulting, and Configuration Practice teams; own hiring, onboarding, coaching, performance management, capacity planning, and role coverage. Transform existing organization and processes into a high-performing organization with deep clinical, functional, and technical expertise and ensure consistent, on-schedule/on budget delivery across engagements. Set and manage the function's OKRs/KPIs; drive continuous improvement through retrospectives, root-cause analysis, structured upskilling, cross-training, and knowledge-sharing.

Own the functional-plus-technical cross-training program and curriculum so a growing share of consulting resources are certified to deliver both service types, improving allocation flexibility. Commercial Performance & Utilization Own consulting services revenue and billable utilization targets; forecast, track, and report performance monthly, and manage staffing and allocation to sustain healthy utilization. Partner with Sales, Account Management, and Delivery on scoping, SOWs, and staffing models for professional-services engagements and funded work.

Delivery Quality & the Consulting QA SOP Own the Consulting QA SOP; drive functional QA-SOP compliance through governance audits and coaching, with test cases and pass/fail results documented on every applicable Service Request and extend QA to a Technical QA SOP. Establish and enforce delivery standards, playbooks, and reusable configuration assets that improve quality, timeliness, and repeatability across engagements. Solution Direction & Customer Engagement Provide solution direction throughout the customer lifecycle, translating customer requirements into scalable, secure, maintainable configurations and technical solutions.

Serve as a senior, trusted technical advisor to customers on solution capabilities, best practices, interoperability standards, and emerging technologies; lead key customer meetings and manage expectations. Product-to-Professional-Services Hand-off Operationalize structured hand-off playbooks so 100% of new product offerings transition cleanly from Product into Professional Services with clear ownership, documentation, and readiness criteria. AI-Enabled Delivery Transformation Identify, evaluate, and deploy approved AI-assisted tooling for the team's highest-volume repetitive work - test-case generation, validation tracking, and documentation - to reduce manual execution hours while improving quality.

Ensure compliant use of AI and tooling (data privacy, security, auditability); train the team on approved tools and monitor adoption. Organizational Health Own the consulting org's employee-engagement results - sustaining high survey participation and executing action plans against the top themes - contributing to company engagement targets.
