As a director, you are a leader and strategic driver within our Healthcare Strategy practice.

You bring advanced expertise in strategy, project leadership, and people development, and are adept at managing multiple complex projects simultaneously. Your role is pivotal in shaping client outcomes, developing future leaders, and advancing our firm's strategic vision.

A core expectation of this role is to serve as a master practitioner and teacher, using an apprenticeship model to develop the next generation of consulting leaders.

  • Develop and implement comprehensive strategies for healthcare payer / provider clients, including business model transformation, operating model design, enterprise transformation, M&A, and service line innovation.
  • Oversee project teams, set clear objectives, and ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and on budget.
  • Apply and teach advanced strategic frameworks (e.g., wind tunneling, SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, PEST, 3Cs) and data-driven methodologies to solve complex business challenges and drive measurable value.

Client Relationship Management

  • Serve as an advisor to senior client stakeholders, building and maintaining long-term relationships.
  • Anticipate client needs, proactively identify opportunities, and deliver actionable recommendations that support client objectives.
  • Represent the firm at industry events, conferences, and client meetings to enhance brand visibility and thought leadership.
  • Team Leadership, Apprenticeship, and Talent Development

  • Lead, mentor, and develop Managers and junior consultants, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.
  • Use an apprenticeship model to teach and model classic strategy consulting skills, including :
  • Issue-based problem solving and hypothesis-driven analysis
  • Choice structuring and decision-tree logic
  • Structured communication (e.g., pyramid principle, storylining, executive summaries)
  • Analytical and quantitative modeling
  • Strategic thinking and business acumen
  • Framework application and synthesis of insights
  • Stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Project management and prioritization
  • Provide regular feedback, conduct performance evaluations, and support career development for team members
  • Business and Practice Development

  • Drive business development initiatives, including proposal development, client presentations, and identification of new business opportunities
  • Contribute to the growth of the healthcare strategy practice through thought leadership, offering development, and internal process improvement
  • Collaborate with other leaders to shape the strategic direction of the practice and ensure alignment with organizational goals
  • Financial and Operational Management

  • Oversee project budgets, resource allocation, and financial performance, ensuring efficient use of resources and achievement of profitability targets
  • Monitor and report on project progress, risks, and outcomes to senior leadership and clients
  • What You Will Need

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 10+ years of strategy consulting experience in top-tier or boutique consulting, with a focus on healthcare payer / provider industry.
  • Demonstrated success managing multiple, complex projects and leading cross-functional teams.
  • Advanced strategic thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building abilities.
  • Proficiency in data analytics tools (e.g., PowerBI, Tableau, Alteryx) and financial modeling.
  • Willingness to travel as required.
  • What Would Be Nice to Have

  • Masters in healthcare administration (MHA) or related advanced degree.
  • Experience with AI, cloud, or machine learning in healthcare.
  • Active participation in healthcare industry associations.
