  • Identify and assess risks, scenarios, and potential impacts of contract terminations or out-of-network situations for clients.

Project Management

  • Build and maintain strong client relationships by understanding their business objectives, identifying opportunities for strategic growth, and providing proactive counsel.
  • Manage internal cross-functional teams (analytics, creative, media, and communications) to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
  • Oversee vendor and partner relationships (research firms, data vendors, call centers) to support client programs.
  • Lead client presentations and facilitate executive-level discussions.
  • Communications Development :

  • Lead the creation of strategic communication plans supporting managed care negotiations, issues management, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Oversee message development, creative concepting, and asset production across paid, earned, owned, and internal channels.
  • Review and refine all materials for clarity, tone, and alignment with client and regulatory standards.
  • Collaborate closely with internal creative and media teams to ensure communications are data-informed and audience-targeted.
  • Team Development and Collaboration :

  • Develop junior team members, providing feedback and professional growth opportunities.
  • Collaborate across Unlock's Managed Care, Strategic Communications, and Analytics teams to develop best practices and enhance integrated client delivery.
  • Contribute to internal training, client workflows and processes and methodologies.
  • Market Insights :

  • Stay ahead of healthcare industry trends, including reimbursement policy, payor performance, and regulatory changes impacting provider-payor dynamics.
  • Translate insights into actionable strategies for clients and contribute to Unlock Health's managed care knowledge base.
  • Ideal Qualifications :

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including experience with data analysis, and translating findings into actionable insights.
  • Excellent writing, presentation, and storytelling skills capable of translating financial and strategic insights into compelling communications.
  • Demonstrated experience managing multiple clients, projects, and cross-functional teams simultaneously.
  • Experience with client-facing facilitation including running meetings, presenting analyses, and conducting stakeholder interviews.
  • Proficiency in analyzing data and metrics to inform strategy and measure impact.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a drive to innovate and grow the managed care consulting practice.
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in health administration, business, or public policy preferred.
