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.
We are seeking a Manager of Decision Support & Cost Accounting to join Huron’s Healthcare Financial Advisory services practice. In this role, you will lead the design and delivery of cost accounting and service line margin engagements for hospitals and health systems, often leveraging the StrataJazz Decision Support platform.
You will apply various costing methodologies including Time-Driven Costing (TDABC) and step-down methodologies to build service line P&Ls, DRG-level cost models, and contribution margin frameworks that healthcare CFOs can act on. Beyond platform configuration, you will connect cost intelligence directly to high-stakes client decisions — payor contract preparation, service line rationalization, capital prioritization, and care variation reduction.
You will play an integral role in our decision support offering, partner with project and relationship leaders in client interactions with CFO and VP Finance stakeholders, and contribute to the development of reusable engagement playbooks and delivery templates.
