Overview

ECG, the most experienced healthcare consulting firm working in the U.S., is ranked as a Best Small Firm to Work For 2024 by Consulting Magazine. At ECG, our primary emphasis is on quality—in our people as well as our services—and we’re seeking others who embrace our high standards of excellence.

What’s in It for You: Work with Purpose

At ECG, your contribution will have meaningful impact. The work you do will ultimately help health systems optimize performance and meet the needs of the communities they serve—and that’s just the beginning. We’re looking for team players, culture builders, problem-solvers, and self-starters to collaborate, take on challenging projects, and find new ways to make a positive impact in the healthcare services sector. ECG is committed to ensuring a supportive, inclusive, and equitable work environment that embraces DEI, where we recognize performance, communicate openly and transparently, and value work-life balance.

Join Our Analytics Hub

Our growing Analytics Hub works with our consulting teams to deliver new insights, streamlined analysis, and world-class intelligence to the healthcare organizations we serve as clients. Combined with our consulting teams, you will be helping physician and executive leadership make informed decisions that can alter the course of their enterprises in areas such as physician alignment, mergers and acquisitions, service line planning, provider compensation, financial performance, transforming care models, patient access, managed care portfolio optimization, digital health expansion, and more. ECG uses a Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environment, with Microsoft Power BI as ECG’s current analytics visualization platform. The goal of the position is to further capitalize on the existing ECG infrastructure, as well as implement new features and technologies.

Our consultants bridge the gap between strategic thinking and operational implementation with sensible action plans and tactical recommendations. This approach allows us to stretch our clients’ thinking while ensuring that initiatives with the broadest and deepest impact are prioritized and implementable. Our wide-ranging engagements often focus on helping our clients:

• Position themselves for value-based care delivery.
• Align hospitals and physician organizations.
• Strengthen financial performance.
• Enhance clinical programs.
• Develop strategic partnerships and/or mergers.
