Healthcare Finance & Performance Analytics Manager
Job Description
Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.
Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.
Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.
Huron is seeking a highly analytical healthcare finance leader to help develop and scale financial diagnostics, performance analytics, and technology-enabled solutions for hospitals and health systems. This individual will work across complex financial, clinical, and operational data to reconcile results, identify and quantify the drivers of performance, and translate findings into clear actions for healthcare executives.
The role will support Healthcare FAS capabilities that connect financial performance to operational and clinical drivers, create repeatable diagnostics for net patient service revenue and operating expenses, and advance a technology-enabled NPSR valuation solution. The successful candidate will combine healthcare finance expertise, advanced analytical capabilities, executive communication skills, and an ability to work independently through complex and ambiguous business questions.
As a Healthcare Finance & Performance Analytics Manager, you will:
- Analyze hospital and health system financial performance, including net patient service revenue, gross-to-net revenue, contractual allowances, reserves, bad debt, accounts receivable, yield, and payer and service mix.
- Reconcile financial results across general ledger, claims, accounts receivable, cost accounting, and operational data sources.
- Build financial bridges and variance analyses that distinguish timing, accounting, methodological, and data effects from changes in underlying operating performance.
- Identify and quantify the financial, clinical, and operational drivers behind performance, including labor, capacity, throughput, pharmacy, supply, payer, and service-mix factors.
- Independently move from an incomplete business question to a well-supported financial and operational conclusion without requiring step-by-step direction.
- Translate complex analyses into clear executive-level findings that answer what happened, why it happened, what is controllable, what actions should be taken, who should own those actions, and the expected financial impact.
- Develop executive-ready presentations, financial models, written recommendations, and other deliverables for CFOs, controllers, revenue cycle leaders, and operational executives.
- Help create repeatable financial diagnostic processes that move from data intake and validation through driver identification, financial quantification, and recommended action.
- Translate analytical methods into clearly defined requirements, including required data, calculation logic, validation rules, outputs, and reporting expectations.
- Collaborate with healthcare finance experts, data analysts, product leaders, and technical teams to turn financial methodologies into scalable, technology-enabled solutions.
- Support the continued development of financial performance intelligence capabilities that connect reconciled financial outcomes with their underlying operational and clinical causes.
- Contribute to client engagements and internal solution development by bringing structure, financial discipline, and practical judgment to complex and ambiguous challenges.
Required Qualifications
- 7-12+ years of experience in healthcare finance, financial planning and analysis, reimbursement, net revenue, performance management, decision support, revenue cycle finance, healthcare consulting, or a relevant combination of these areas.
- Strong understanding of hospital and health system financial statements, operating models, and financial performance drivers.
- Demonstrated knowledge of net patient service revenue concepts, including gross-to-net revenue, contractual allowances, reserves, bad debt, accounts receivable, yield, and payer and service mix.
- Demonstrated experience reconciling financial results, conducting variance analysis, building financial bridges, and identifying the underlying drivers of performance.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and experience working with large or complex financial datasets, such as general ledger, claims, billing, and accounts receivable data.
- Ability to connect financial performance with operational and clinical activity and determine the financial implications of changes in volume, utilization, capacity, labor, reimbursement, and cost.
- Strong Microsoft PowerPoint, written communication, and executive-level presentation skills.
- Ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear, concise, and actionable recommendations for senior leaders.
- Ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, exercise sound judgment, and develop defensible conclusions from incomplete information.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively across finance, operational, analytical, and technical teams.
Travel and Location
- Travel requirements vary by project, but candidates must be willing to travel as needed.
- Candidates may live anywhere in the contiguous 48 states near a major airport.
The estimated base salary for this job is $165,000 - $215,000. The actual salary paid to an individual will vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to specific skills or certifications, years of experience, market changes, and required travel.
