Consulting Manager - Healthcare, Performance Improvement

Huron Consulting Group • Chicago, IL

247d • $140,000 - $170,000

About The Position

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. Managers play a vibrant, integral role at Huron. Their invaluable knowledge reflects in the projects they manage, and the teams they lead. As change leaders, our Managers build long-standing partnerships with clients, while collaborating with colleagues to solve our clients' most pressing business challenges. Huron Managers shape and deliver results that seamlessly align with client goals, visions and missions. Remarkably versatile, our Managers also spend significant time mentoring junior staff on the engagement team-where they share expertise as well as feedback and encouragement. This benefits Huron profoundly as it promotes a culture of respect, unity, collaboration, and personal achievement. As a Manager, you will have the unique ability to specialize in certain areas that showcase and employ your areas of expertise while gaining exposure to a breadth of capabilities across our performance improvement practice. Huron is big enough to offer the opportunity and exposure you need for your career growth-but small enough to give you individual attention needed for professional development. Every colleague contributes to who we are as an organization-and the more you evolve, the more we do. Create your future at Huron.
