We've brought together the top healthcare marketing organizations to make this vision a reality, with a team of experts in managed care, technology, and ROI design.

Unlock Health is seeking a strategic and collaborative Manager, Managed Care Consulting to lead client engagements focused on managed care strategy, payor negotiations, and healthcare revenue optimization. This role requires a balance of consulting capabilities, client management, and communications expertise to drive measurable results for hospitals, health systems, and physician groups navigating complex payor environments. As a Manager, you will lead projects developing and executing managed care strategies including financial benchmarking, negotiation strategy, strategic communications, and stakeholder engagements that strengthen client positions.

What You'll Do :

Provide strategic insight and recommendations on contract negotiation positioning, payor mix, rate benchmarking, operational efficiencies, and network strategy.

  • Partner with analytics teams to interpret client data, price transparency data, and market trends to inform managed care strategies.
  • Translate complex reimbursement and contracting concepts into clear, actionable strategies and communications for audiences (patients, employers, brokers, and providers).
  • Identify and assess risks, scenarios, and potential impacts of contract terminations or out-of-network situations for clients.
  • Project Management
  • Serve as manager for managed care clients, overseeing strategic consulting engagements and ensuring high-quality deliverables across all workstreams.

  • Develop and manage project timelines, ensuring milestones and deliverables are met while maintaining alignment across client and internal teams.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships by understanding their business objectives, identifying opportunities for strategic growth, and providing proactive counsel.
  • Manage internal cross-functional teams (analytics, creative, media, and communications) to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
  • Oversee vendor and partner relationships (research firms, data vendors, call centers) to support client programs.
  • Lead client presentations and facilitate executive-level discussions.
  • Communications Development :
  • Lead the creation of strategic communication plans supporting managed care negotiations, issues management, and stakeholder engagement.

  • Oversee message development, creative concepting, and asset production across paid, earned, owned, and internal channels.
  • Review and refine all materials for clarity, tone, and alignment with client and regulatory standards.
  • Collaborate closely with internal creative and media teams to ensure communications are data-informed and audience-targeted.
  • Team Development and Collaboration :
  • Develop junior team members, providing feedback and professional growth opportunities.

  • Collaborate across Unlock's Managed Care, Strategic Communications, and Analytics teams to develop best practices and enhance integrated client delivery.
  • Contribute to internal training, client workflows and processes and methodologies.
  • Market Insights :
  • Stay ahead of healthcare industry trends, including reimbursement policy, payor performance, and regulatory changes impacting provider-payor dynamics.

  • Translate insights into actionable strategies for clients and contribute to Unlock Health's managed care knowledge base.
  • Ideal Qualifications :

  • Equivalent of 5 to 7 years of experience in healthcare consulting or managed care is a must, ideally within a consulting environment or health system.
  • Proven success leading managed care or reimbursement strategy projects such as benchmarking, negotiation preparation, or contract modeling.
  • Strong understanding of managed care models, provider reimbursement methodologies, and healthcare market dynamics.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including experience with data analysis, and translating findings into actionable insights.
  • Excellent writing, presentation, and storytelling skills capable of translating financial and strategic insights into compelling communications.
  • Demonstrated experience managing multiple clients, projects, and cross-functional teams simultaneously.
  • Experience with client-facing facilitation including running meetings, presenting analyses, and conducting stakeholder interviews.
  • Proficiency in analyzing data and metrics to inform strategy and measure impact.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a drive to innovate and grow the managed care consulting practice.
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in health administration, business, or public policy preferred.
  • Perks and Benefits :

  • Competitive Salary
