Managing Director - Practice Lead, AI and Technology Advisory

This role extends beyond technical leadership to encompass two parallel transformations : advancing AI capabilities for Premier's healthcare clients while simultaneously evolving Premier's own advisory methodology and culture.

Drawing from experience building practices from concept to market leadership, you'll establish the frameworks / methodologies, talent strategies, and cross-functional collaboration models that position Premier as the definitive authority in AI-driven healthcare transformation. Success will be measured by the advisory practice's ability to grow revenue, scale expertise, replicate outcomes across diverse healthcare environments, and integrate into how Premier's member organizations approach digital innovation.

You will tackle critical questions about measuring AI operational effectiveness, evaluating healthcare technology (AI) vendors, and developing reusable solution patterns.

Finally, you'll lead strategic engagements while building the scalable internal practices that enable Premier's broader advisory team to deliver consistent, measurable healthcare outcomes powered by deep AI expertise across our member organizations.
