Description

If you are motivated by meaningful work, cross-functional collaboration, and the opportunity to make a direct impact on how physicians are supported across a leading health system, the Manager of Physician Contracting role at Premier Health offers a compelling next step. This position is ideal for a professional who enjoys bringing structure to complex agreements, improving processes, and helping ensure physician arrangements are compliant, accurate, and aligned with organizational goals. In this role, you will be at the center of important physician and academic contracting activity, supporting agreements that help drive patient care, physician engagement, and academic partnerships across the system.

Premier Health offers the chance to join an organization known for supporting its people and fostering a professional environment where collaboration, accountability, and service matter. As Manager of Physician Contracting, you will work closely with the Director of Physician Contracting, in-house counsel, Compliance, Finance, executive leadership, and other internal stakeholders. That level of partnership helps create a strong sense of connection to the broader mission of the organization, while also giving you visibility into strategic initiatives that shape the health system.

This role offers the opportunity to own the full lifecycle of certain physician contracts, including physician employment and service agreements within the Premier Physician Network and/or medical education agreements supporting the academic work of Premier Health. You will help draft, review, revise, route, track, and maintain critical agreements, ensuring accurate terms, inclusion of benchmarking and fair market value analyses, and adherence to internal business, compensation, and compliance processes. For professionals who value both detail-oriented work and organizational influence, this position provides the chance to contribute in a highly visible and meaningful way.

Employees are often drawn to workplaces where their expertise is respected, their work has purpose, and their contributions help others succeed. This role supports all three. You will serve as a key internal resource for physician contract processes and documentation standards, while helping maintain accurate records, improve efficiency, reduce cycle time, and strengthen internal controls. At Premier Health, this type of work helps build trust across teams and supports the physician relationships that are essential to the organization’s success. If you are looking for a professional opportunity where you can feel connected to mission-driven work and collaborate with engaged colleagues who value excellence, this position may be an excellent fit.

Potential "hybrid" work environment considered for qualified candidates and is subject to change. Must be willing to work "in-person" on required days.
