As a Principal Strategic Advisor, you will play a key role in enabling the strategic development and success of these care delivery platforms – partnering with leaders to inform direction, translate strategy into implementation-ready frameworks, and drive performance at multiple levels. If you are energized by the opportunity to join a growing subsidiary focused on accelerating a new business platform and helping the Enterprise achieve its long-term goals, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
