Working across healthcare operations and provider partnerships, you will oversee the full contract lifecycle, from negotiation and execution to renewals, amendments, and ongoing performance monitoring. Your expertise in Accountable Care Organization (ACO) arrangements, financial modeling, and risk-based contracting will help create sustainable agreements that support organizational objectives and improve healthcare delivery. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced negotiator who combines analytical thinking with strong relationship-building and strategic problem-solving skills.

  • Value-Based Contracting: Develop and negotiate innovative contracting arrangements, including ACO and other value-based models, to support quality improvement and financial performance.
  • Financial and Strategic Analysis: Evaluate complex financial arrangements, risk-based contracting structures, reimbursement methodologies, and operational implications to identify viable contracting solutions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with relevant internal stakeholders to ensure contracts support business priorities, regulatory requirements, and effective provider network operations.
  • Additional Responsibilities: Perform other duties as assigned to support network management and contracting objectives.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Professional Experience: At least eight years of related work experience beyond the degree, with a strong background in healthcare contracting, provider relations, or health plan operations.
  • Contract Negotiation Expertise: Demonstrated success negotiating healthcare service and provider contracts, including experience with value-based methodologies and ACO arrangements.
  • Healthcare Industry Knowledge: Experience in health plan operations, provider operations, or related healthcare environments.
  • Provider Contracting Knowledge: Strong understanding of provider contracting strategies, risk-based agreements, reimbursement structures, financial models, operational impacts, and data analytics.
  • Financial Acumen: Strong financial, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex financial arrangements and healthcare quality programs.
  • Legal and Contractual Understanding: Ability to interpret and assess legal documents, contractual language, and complex agreement structures.
  • Relationship Management: Proven ability to build and maintain collaborative external relationships based on trust, credibility, and clear communication at all organizational levels.
  • Communication and Presentation: Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and presentation skills, including the ability to communicate complex contracting concepts effectively.
  • Strategic Thinking: Ability to evaluate multiple scenarios, anticipate challenges, develop creative contracting solutions, and recommend the most effective course of action.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
