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. Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future. At Huron, Directors represent the pinnacle of professionalism and expertise. They effectively collaborate with Huron and client senior leaders to design and implement complex and sustainable solutions while delivering remarkable results for our clients that often exceed engagement objectives. Throughout their projects, they develop enduring client relationships that benefit the firm in profound ways including networking, ongoing business development, and sales opportunities. Their talents and leadership qualities instill passion and trust in clients, junior staff members, and Huron management. If you can lead teams, create customized solutions, and masterfully communicate on every level…If you’re a consummate professional, a prospective champion of integrity and excellence, and an inspiration of confidence and trust… then you can and will—leave your mark on the future of consulting. Create your future at Huron.
