The Opportunity: 

When an organization has multiple moving parts in its processes, it can be difficult to critically examine them. To be more efficient and effective, it needs a business process specialist to learn its business end-to-end and provide ways to change for the better. That’s why we need you, a business process specialist who can learn how to analyze every aspect of your client’s operations and give them the steps to improve their processes.

As a business process specialist on our team, you’ll help analyze your client’s current operating environment and identify areas for improvement. You’ll participate in discussions with leadership and support staff that will help refine your client’s definition of success and identify current frustrations. You’ll assist with designing data collection plans, facilitating workshops, and communicating the team’s research and illustrative analysis to help establish understanding and agreement from key stakeholders.

On our team, you’ll learn how to use process improvement frameworks to provide your client with recommendations along with a firm grasp of the quantitative and qualitative results they can expect. This is your chance to gain experience in procurement while developing process improvement and project management skills.

Work with us as we help healthcare evolve.
