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 Senior Manager will operate at the intersection of HDTx capabilities and Federal delivery, supporting complex, large-scale programs such as EHR modernization (e.g., VA EHRM) as well as other federal healthcare or digital transformation initiatives. This role is responsible for driving integrated delivery across clinical, technical, and operational workstreams, while navigating federal client environments, compliance requirements, and multi-partner ecosystems (e.g., AFS, OEM vendors). The Senior Manager will serve as a key leader in project execution, resource alignment, and client engagement, ensuring delivery excellence across evolving, high-visibility programs.
