Responsibilities
- Design and develop integrated workforce management solutions that move beyond traditional staffing-level analysis to incorporate resource management, capacity management, patient flow, and ambulatory access metrics

- Translate complex clinical and operational data into actionable insights, dashboards, and decision-support tools for C-suite and operational leaders
- Develop reusable frameworks, templates, and methodologies that can be deployed across multiple client engagements to accelerate delivery and maintain quality
- Lead the integration of resource management (staffing, scheduling, productivity) with capacity management (bed, OR, and clinic throughput), patient flow (admission, discharge, transfer optimization), and ambulatory network (panel-size analysis, demand-capacity matching, third-next-available-appointment modeling, and virtual-care integration) to create holistic solutions
- Identify opportunities to leverage technology, automation, and AI to enhance workforce planning and operational performance across integrated domains
- Serve as a primary day-to-day engagement lead, managing workstreams, deliverables, and client relationships with minimal supervision
- Facilitate working sessions with clinical leaders, operations executives, finance teams, and IT stakeholders to gather requirements, validate models, and drive consensus
- Present findings, recommendations, and model outputs to senior client audiences in a clear, compelling manner
- Ensure deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and to BRG quality standards
- Contribute to the growth of the Workforce Management practice by developing intellectual property, white papers, and client-facing collateral
- Support business development efforts, including proposal writing, opportunity qualification, and client presentations
- Mentor and develop junior consultants and analysts, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning

- Proficiency in SQL and at least one analytical programming language (Python or R); experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, or similar)
- Strong command of Excel modeling, including scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, and dashboard design
- Knowledge of simulation, optimization, or forecasting methodologies applied to healthcare operations
- Ability to synthesize complex operational and clinical concepts into structured, actionable recommendations

- Collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset with a commitment to client service and team development
- Candidate must be able to submit verification of legal right to work in the U.S., without company sponsorship
- Master's degree in business, healthcare administration, public health, industrial engineering, operations research, or a related quantitative field strongly preferred
