Healthcare’s helping hand.
CHG shook things up in 1979 by inventing the locum tenens staffing model. We connect doctors with patients who need their care. As the largest physician staffing firm in America, our providers treat millions of patients each year.
Our industry is growing and demand is high. This means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow and develop in your career. Keeping healthcare healthy can be as fun as it is rewarding
The Vice President of Advisory Services provides executive leadership over CHG's Advisory Services offering and team, and serves as CHG's executive sponsor of the Client Advisory Board. This role is accountable for establishing Advisory Services as a durable, revenue-generating growth engine for CHG, and for elevating CHG's position with the largest health systems in the country from a transactional locums vendor to a strategic, trusted workforce partner. The Vice President sets the vision, strategy, and financial goals for the Advisory Services practice; leads and develops the Advisory Services team, is responsible for direct and indirect revenue growth attributed to the Advisory Services team; and personally builds and maintains C-suite relationships with Client Advisory Board members and other top health system executives, positioning CHG as a leading voice on the future of the physician and APP workforce.
This role requires a deep understanding of healthcare market dynamics, physician workforce strategy, workforce management solutions, industry best practices and standards, and the competitive advisory/consulting landscape. The Vice President works closely with Marketing, Product, Finance, Sales, and Enterprise Client Solutions leadership to align the Advisory Services offering and the Client Advisory Board with CHG's overall business objectives. This is a key executive leadership role within Enterprise Client Solutions and reports to the SVP, ECS.

- Accountability for an Advisory Services book of business and pipeline representing well in excess of $300M in identified opportunity spend across current and prospective enterprise health system relationships.
- Growth and expansion of existing CHG and Advisory Services relationships in existing ECS clients, new customers and new markets. Determined by contract, team and revenue growth.
- Identification of new products, services and market opportunities tied directly to innovation and growth.
- Direct leadership of the Advisory Services practice, including people leaders and individual-contributor consultants; indirect influence over ECS account teams engaged in advisory-related client work.

- Upholds and models the Client Advisory Board's operating principles in every session and interaction: approaches conversations industry-first, then client, then CHG; leans into hard discussions rather than avoiding them; fosters a co-creative, peer-driven dialogue rather than a CHG-led presentation; and holds CHG accountable to a 50/50 talk-time standard so the room's voice shapes CHG's roadmap.
- Builds and maintains trusted, C-suite-level relationships with Client Advisory Board members and other top-tier health system executives (CFOs, Chief Physicians, CAOs, and system VPs); represents CHG as a physician workforce thought leader in peer forums, industry events, and executive briefings.

- Ensures legal, financial, and operational compliance for all team-negotiated contracts and statements of work.
