As a Manager, you will be an integral part of Kearney case teams, working closely with clients and colleagues to develop insights and deliver high-impact results. You will support engagements from start to finish—problem definition through analysis, synthesis, and client communication.

You will contribute to client work addressing challenges related to corporate strategy, performance improvement, enterprise transformation, operational improvement, and commercial strategy initiatives across the Healthcare sector. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience supporting provider organizations, health system operations, and care delivery transformation initiatives. 

Key responsibilities\:

• Supporting business development efforts, including proposal development and client presentations 

• Working collaboratively with team members and client stakeholders in a fast-paced environment 

Who you are\: 

After nearly 100 years, we know this business is fundamentally about making connections—between facts, figures, insights, strategies, tools, technologies, and above all, people. That’s why we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem-solvers who don’t accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves.

• An MBA (preferred) and 8+ years of professional experience 

• Experience working in management consulting and/or healthcare industry roles 

• Relevant experience supporting provider organizations, health systems, or care delivery operations

• A passion for leading teams and mentoring colleagues 

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage at least one major workstream 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills 

• Proven ability to work effectively in team-based, client-facing environments 

• A willingness to travel as required

What we can offer you\:

• Generous retirement/pension savings contributions 

• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and immediate family
