WHAT YOU’LL DO:
We are seeking a strong writer, researcher, and project coordinator who can move fluidly between workstreams to join Facktor as an Associate on our Strategy & Growth team. The ideal candidate brings excellent attention to detail, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines independently. They will partner closely with the Strategy & Growth leadership team and subject matter experts across divisions to deliver polished, client-ready work product, while also contributing to Facktor’s own business development, service line innovation, and internal knowledge management.
Facktor’s Strategy & Growth (S&G) division serves as a leader, innovator, and thought partner in expanding the impact of the health center movement, helping clients grow, stabilize, and plan for the future. The Associate will provide dedicated support across the division’s full portfolio of work, with particular focus on our fastest-growing service lines: grant and funding applications, market analyses and Community Needs Assessments, workforce engagements, strategic planning, and compliance support. This is a cross-functional, high-visibility role for someone who enjoys variety, learns quickly, and wants exposure to the full range of consulting work that helps community health organizations thrive.
WHO WE ARE:
Facktor is a fully remote healthcare consulting firm, but it rarely feels that way. We are deeply connected, highly collaborative, and united by a shared commitment to the community health center movement and the organizations delivering care to those who need it most. Our work is fast-paced and dynamic, with each day bringing new challenges, perspectives, and opportunities to make meaningful impact.
You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues across divisions, gaining exposure to all aspects of healthcare consulting—from strategy, finance, and operations to quality improvement, clinical optimization, business intelligence, and beyond. Cross-divisional collaboration isn’t just encouraged, it’s core to how we work. We infuse fun into what we do, celebrate wins along the way, and support one another as we grow, both professionally and personally. This is an environment for people who thrive in a fast-paced consulting setting, enjoy solving complex problems, and are energized by learning something new every day, while being supported by a team that truly cares.
Our mission at Facktor is to revolutionize community health. Not your typical briefcase consultants, we bring a backpack with us to our clients, because we’re ready to get to work. We partner with mission-driven organizations, including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), hospitals, health plans, medical groups, academic programs, IPAs, and foundations, to help them deliver high-quality, sustainable care. We meet clients where they are, offering hands-on, customized support to solve operational challenges, strengthen financial performance, and scale impact. Our consultants bring deep expertise in strategic planning, clinic development, financial modeling and management, quality improvement, and more. From our interim management roles to project-based support, we work across functions to ensure organizations are compliant, resilient, and positioned for growth. At Facktor, we’re not just advisors, we’re collaborators, committed to advancing equitable care and stronger health systems.
