In this role, you will:

- Work with a team of advisory service professionals in implementing and optimizing Strata software solutions for multiple healthcare providers across the country. Implementation includes defining user requirements, configuring the system to meet requirements, validating functionality, and testing key features and outputs of the software.
- Help clients define their business and technical requirements for the software. Gain the experience necessary to work with clients as a trusted advisor to implement best practices in their financial management and performance improvement processes.
- Collaborate with consultants of other solutions, product management, and engineering to develop and refine the StrataJazz® Continuous Improvement suite of modules.
- Utilize financial, business, and organization data to develop effective analyses and communicate complex findings. Lead onsite and web-based client training to promote strong system utilization, user adoption, and significant cost savings.
- Identify project risks, communicate proactively, and collaborate with both clients and internal resources to resolve risks and mitigate issues.
- Measure and communicate the outcome of software implementations at client sites. Continue to work with clients post go-live to coordinate upgrades, the latest functionality, and promote new feature adoption.
- Work in an Agile environment for building and implementing high-quality, feature-rich software.
- Use SQL and Strata implementation tools to deliver on client expectations for software implementation and optimization projects

**What we're looking for**:

- A data-driven, problem-solving mindset that embraces challenge
- 2-5 years of relevant experience in healthcare consulting, healthcare finance, or a comparable role
- Demonstrated interest in providing a world-class level of client service
- An understanding of financial concepts, including financial statement analysis
- Ability to respond to client needs as they arise
- A drive to learn quickly and constantly adapt to new challenges
- Strong self-motivation and the ability to work effectively with limited guidance when necessary
- You'd really wow us if you have:

- Lean/Six Sigma certification (e.g. Green or Black Belt)
- Professional and/or academic background in SQL and relational database concepts

**How we work**:
The preferred location for this role is in Chicago, IL or St. Louis, MO. We value our people spending time together and have campuses hosting in-person events located in both cities. We are truly a hybrid environment with all team members experiencing the flexibility to work from home.

**Thinking about applying?**

Our culture is driven by our people solving problems together. We embrace learning, collaboration, and continuous career growth. Together, we lift our customers, our products, our company, and our community.

We believe that each of our team member's unique perspectives and experiences is what drives innovation and positive change. Our individual differences are what make us a more forward-thinking organization. We foster a culture of inclusion, equity and belonging, regardless of race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.

**Our Core Values**:
While we celebrate what makes each member of our team unique, our core values are what connect us. They set clear expectations for how we approach our work and how each of us can positively influence the experience of our team and our customers.
- Connect with positive intent.
