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. The Insights Management Specialty Consultant will serve in an instrumental role building and delivering on Huron's Insights as a Service offering. Within this role, the individual will support the creation of a state-of-the-art solution, providing healthcare clients with comprehensive insights to understand their true cost and performance with actionable strategies to realize improvements. We seek to provide insights to ensure quality, identify impactful areas for enhancement or automation, and provide tactical next steps for improvement. Insights as a Service is unique as it combines a technology enabled analytics platform with deep expertise to interpret the data - moving from data to information to insights. In addition to very strong technical skills, this position requires superb business process analysis and interpersonal skills. This role will require you to perform analysis to assess quality and meaning of data and leverage advanced techniques to identify patterns and trends. Once the insights are identified, the data will be packaged for client consumption in an easy-to-understand way to inform data-driven decisions. The insights will then guide our clients to take appropriate and meaningful actions to address their operational pain points. You will need to demonstrate patience and curiosity as clients and internal stakeholders engage you to understand and act on the insights you provide. This position reports directly to the Insights Management Senior Director.
