Director of Applied Intelligence, Products Portfolio

The Director of Applied Intelligence Products Portfolio plays a pivotal role in advancing Huron’s Healthcare Insights portfolio by shaping, scaling, and activating a unified cross-domain analytics platform. This role sits at the intersection of product management, healthcare domain expertise, and consulting technology enablement, with a focus on driving value from insights that span revenue cycle, clinical, operational, and growth practice areas.

Rather than owning a single solution area, this role is responsible for cross-domain value creation: identifying high-impact use cases that require data, context, and capabilities from multiple domains; curating those opportunities into repeatable patterns; and translating the most valuable patterns into shared platform and experience layer capabilities, product frameworks, and client solutions.

The Director partners closely with consulting teams, domain product and capability owners, and platform architects to ensure the platform accelerates consulting delivery today while laying additional groundwork for repeatable, scalable, AI‑enabled subscription offerings as these capabilities mature.

• Serve as a connective leader across platform teams, domain product owners, data science, and consulting stakeholders.
• Facilitate structured conversations around prioritization, tradeoffs, and sequencing, particularly where cross‑domain dependencies exist.
• Communicate platform value and common frameworks in language that resonates with diverse audiences, from technical teams to healthcare executives and consulting partners.
• Socialize platform progress, wins, learnings, and new opportunities to senior leadership, reinforcing momentum, clarity of direction, and leverage from investments.
• Represent portfolio and platform capabilities in cross‑domain planning forums, ensuring domain product leaders understand what is available today or in the near term, how it should be used, and how feedback informs future roadmap decisions.

• Partner with consulting leadership and delivery teams across domains to design and support cross‑domain pilot engagements that leverage shared platform and data assets.
• Use these engagements to prove new insight‑led consulting methodologies, validate repeatable delivery patterns, and generate evidence of differentiated outcomes and client value.
• Partner with consulting leads to translate successful engagement patterns into reusable delivery playbooks, consultant enablement materials, inputs to future leave‑behind and subscription‑based offerings, and opportunities to expand technology revenue streams alongside consulting revenue.
• Support alignment between capabilities and consulting motions, ensuring platform investments reinforce Huron’s consulting‑first go‑to‑market strategy while also creating pathways to recurring managed services and technology‑based revenue streams.

• Identify, triage, and curate cross‑domain analytics and AI use cases that address complex healthcare challenges and cannot be solved within a single solution area.
• Evaluate use cases through both impact and commercial lenses, including their potential to improve consulting outcomes and delivery efficiency, enable cross‑sell and upsell opportunities, and serve as candidates for future productization or subscription offerings.
• Maintain a living, prioritized portfolio of cross‑domain opportunities that informs platform roadmap discussions, consulting pilots, delivery methodology evolution, and investment decisions.
• Partner with domain leaders to ensure use cases are grounded in real healthcare workflows, client pain points, success criteria, and data realities.

• Identify recurring patterns across curated use cases that signal the need for shared platform capabilities, such as semantic services, agent orchestration rails, reusable analytic services, and common context layers.
• Shepherd these opportunities from concept through validation by defining the platform‑level problem to be solved, intended consumers, and success measures.
