• Manage multiple concurrent projects, including monitoring time budgets, overseeing workflow, and ensuring deliverables meet quality standards and deadlines

• Collaborate with senior staff, clients, and third-party vendors to coordinate data collection, resolve issues, and facilitate timely completion of valuation deliverables

• Represent the firm in client meetings and professional interactions, supporting business development initiatives and client relationship management

• Contribute to the firm’s visibility and thought leadership through participation in articles, webinars, and other professional development or marketing activities

• Strong analytical and quantitative abilities, with meticulous attention to detail

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to effectively prepare reports and present findings to clients and internal teams

• Understanding of healthcare operations, market trends, and regulatory issues affecting provider compensation (e.g., Stark Law, Antikickback Statute)

• Must be a highly motivated self-starter with a strong ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines

How You’ll Thrive:

• Cultivate a positive, team-oriented approach that fosters collaboration and shared success

• Demonstrate accountability and reliability by consistently delivering high-quality results and meeting expectations

• Exhibit an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to excellence in all aspects of your work

• Build meaningful relationships and leverage strong interpersonal skills to create trust and drive outcomes.
