Job description

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.

Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.

Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

At Huron, a Senior Director leads with expertise and collaboration, partnering with Huron and client leaders to create sustainable solutions that drive meaningful results. As a Senior Director with our Healthcare team, you will lead complex performance improvement engagements, creating high-performing environments and ensuring successful client outcomes. You’ll manage engagement-wide economics, apply critical thinking to quantify benefits, and develop solutions for performance improvement initiatives.

Your role will foster a supportive, inclusive environment, empowering team members and creating a workplace where diverse perspectives are valued. You will build strong executive-level relationships, lead change processes, and identify new business opportunities, leveraging Huron's capabilities to meet client objectives. This allows you to make an impact and provides career opportunities both within and beyond your areas of expertise. If you’re passionate about driving impactful solutions and believe in the power of collaboration, Huron offers a rewarding path forward.

• Ensure the smooth functioning of revenue cycle processes, including patient access, coding, charge capture, revenue integrity, and denial management.
• Monitor and improve financial metrics such as reducing accounts receivable (A/R) days, increasing cash flow, and minimizing bad debt.
• Lead complex performance improvement engagements, creating collaborative, high-performing environments and ensuring successful client outcomes.
• Manage engagement-wide economics, including budgets, revenue forecasting, margins, invoicing, and billing.
• Apply analytical and critical thinking skills to quantify benefits, identify risks, and develop solutions for performance improvement initiatives.
• Communicate effectively to understand client challenges, create customized solutions, and manage client expectations, delivering impactful presentations and proposals.
• Build strong executive-level relationships, lead change processes, and identify new business opportunities, leveraging Huron's capabilities to meet client objectives.
