The Senior Managing Consultant serves as a senior implementation leader and subject-matter expert, partnering with acute care hospitals and health systems to lead complex, multi-workstream clinical quality and operational transformation initiatives. This role is designed for seasoned healthcare operators who have worked “in the trenches” and can translate strategy into sustainable execution across clinical, operational, and administrative environments.

Willing to travel consistently (50% - 75%), depending on project requirements and client expectations, is required for this position.

Responsibilities • Lead delivery of complex, multi-workstream clinical quality and performance transformation engagements, partnering directly with hospital executive leadership to ensure alignment across clinical, operational, and administrative stakeholders. • Own end-to-end workplan execution, coordinating cross-functional teams and driving accountability to achieve measurable clinical quality, operational, and financial outcomes. • Bring deep expertise in acute care hospital operations and transformation, with a strong ability to leverage EMR and performance data to inform decision-making and drive sustainable workflow change. • Translate strategic objectives into practical, implementable solutions that can be operationalized by physicians, nursing leaders, and frontline teams. • Build and maintain trusted, collaborative relationships with physicians and clinical leaders to drive adoption of evidence-based practices and consistent standards of care. • Lead implementation efforts across areas such as quality improvement, patient safety, infection prevention, sepsis, surgical quality, complications, mortality, readmissions, and performance scorecards. • Guide hospitals in optimizing performance on national quality and public reporting programs, including CMS Care Compare and other regulatory and benchmarking frameworks. • Support regulatory readiness and ongoing compliance related to CMS, state health departments, and other oversight bodies. • Translate complex clinical, operational, and performance data into clear, actionable insights for C-suite leaders and governing bodies. • Monitor progress against defined metrics and scorecards, ensuring initiatives deliver sustained outcomes beyond initial implementation. • Build, lead, and mentor high-performing project teams, fostering strong collaboration, accountability, and results orientation. • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior hospital and health system leaders, particularly in complex or resource-constrained environments.

Qualifications • Minimum of 7+ years of experience in acute care or healthcare settings, with a strong emphasis on hospital operations, clinical quality, performance improvement, and transformation. • Bachelor’s degree required in Nursing, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, Health Information Management, or a closely related field. Advanced degree (MPH, MHA, MSN, MBA, or similar) preferred. • Professional certifications (e.g., CPHQ, CIC, Lean/Six Sigma) preferred. • Demonstrated experience leading large-scale implementation initiatives, including but extending beyond assessments or strategy design. • Proven ability to partner effectively with physicians, nursing leaders, and executive teams to drive change and adoption of evidence-based practices. • Strong working knowledge of hospital operations, EMR systems, quality metrics, and performance scorecards. • Experience building, leading, and developing high-performing teams focused on patient outcomes, quality, and operational performance. • Excellent executive communication, facilitation, and change management skills.
