• Active Epic Cadence certification; this is a firm requirement.
• Working knowledge of Epic Referrals workflows; formal certification is not required but meaningful hands-on familiarity is.

What Helps You Shine

Please note that we use both your resume and your written and oral communication throughout the hiring process to understand your fit for this role.

Thoughtful, clear responses help us see your attention to detail, your professionalism, and your ability to communicate with care — all skills that are essential for success on our team.

A Note on Authentic Interviews

We believe the best hiring conversations are real ones. Notes are welcome, and jotting things down during the call is completely fine. What we ask is that you don\'t use AI tools or similar assistance to generate your responses in real time. We\'re genuinely trying to get to know you: how you think, how you communicate, and what you\'ve experienced. That connection matters to us, and it\'s hard to find when answers are scripted rather than interactive.

We\'re a team that makes healthcare more human. We\'d love to meet the person behind your application.

Expectations for Focus and Presence

• To support patients and each other, this role requires your full attention during scheduled work hours. Our Outside Employment Policy doesn\'t allow overlapping work or "job stacking," so any outside work must happen fully outside your Hummingbird schedule.
• We value connection, teamwork, and being present, which is what keeps our clients supported and our team effective. If that\'s what you\'re looking for, you\'ll feel at home here. If you\'re hoping to hold another job during the same hours, this job won\'t be the best match.
  
  

Growth at Hummingbird

This role is a key part of our Application and Implementation team. You\'ll build depth in Epic scheduling configuration, client partnership, and technical project delivery while working alongside experienced analysts and implementation leads.

As you grow, you may have opportunities to expand your certification portfolio through Hummingbird — including MyChart and Hello World — and take on broader project ownership across clients and service lines. At Hummingbird, we believe good jobs should lead somewhere, and that starts here.

Required & Desired Skills

Please Note: The seniority level of this position may be adjusted during the recruitment process based on candidate skills and experience.
