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.

As an Associate, you will lead one or more project work streams utilizing Huron approaches and methodologies to help clients solve their business challenges and advance their clinical and financial outcomes. You’ll work on varied projects, gain valuable, hands-on consulting and change management experience, while positively impacting mission-driven healthcare organizations.

Your role will foster a supportive, inclusive environment, empowering team members and creating a workplace where diverse perspectives are valued. You will build critical leadership skills to grow your career and mentor junior Huron staff. This allows you to make an impact and provides you 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.

As the Healthcare Consulting Associate in Physician Enterprise, Access & Consumer, you will:

• Partner with project team members and client stakeholders to design and implement effective solutions by leveraging proven methodologies and best practices.
• Leverage critical thinking skills in both data collection and complex analysis identifying data gaps and risks to develop sound conclusions and create implementable, sustainable recommendations for improvement.
• Effectively summarize information and present findings and recommendations to varying levels of Huron and client leadership.
• Provide direct supervision of junior project team members including coaching mentorship, leading teams, and providing feedback through performance management.
• Deliver solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs, enhancing both impact and accessibility across healthcare services.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree required.
