clarifyhealth - Engagement Leader

• 5–8 years of experience in healthcare strategy, consulting, or health system operations — with at least 2–4 years leading client-facing work or owning relationships on multi-stakeholder engagements • Health system domain fluency — understands how health systems are organized, how BD and strategy teams operate, and the basics of FFS and APM economics well enough to hold credible conversations with VP-level health system counterparts • Client relationship ownership experience — has been the primary point of contact for a client or institutional relationship; not just a deliverable contributor but the person responsible for relationship continuity and stakeholder management • Executive-quality work product — can build and present polished executive presentations, analytical narratives, and progress materials that hold up in rooms with C-suite health system executives • Cross-functional coordination without formal authority — has aligned teams across functions they didn’t own to produce coordinated output; comfortable influencing through relationship and clarity of direction rather than org chart authority • Structured problem-solving and analytical fluency — can break down a complex health system challenge, frame the right analytical questions, and translate quantitative output into a compelling narrative for a non-technical executive audience • Travel flexibility — 30–40% onsite across 1–2 health system accounts is non-negotiable for this model • Strongly preferred: • Healthcare consulting background at Advisory Board, Sg2, Chartis, Huron, Kaufman Hall, or similar provider strategy practice — 2–4 years leading or co-leading client engagements • Direct experience with health system BD strategy, network development, referral leakage analysis, or physician alignment programs — has done this work, not just studied it • Familiarity with APM programs — MSSP, ACO REACH, TEAM bundles, or commercial VBC contracts — and how they affect health system BD priorities • Prior experience at a health system in a strategy, operations, or network development role — understands the institutional dynamics from the inside • Comfort with data-driven engagement delivery — has worked with analytical teams to produce client-facing output and understands how to translate quantitative findings into a strategic narrative • MBA from a top program with a healthcare strategy focus • Experience at a health tech company in a client-facing strategy or customer success role — understands both the health system buyer and the vendor delivery model • Familiarity with referral management analytics, physician incentive programs, or VBC performance reporting
