Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Hummingbird Healthcare is elevating patient access by partnering with healthcare systems to transform how patients access care. They are seeking a Principal Talent Partner to build relationships with senior Epic professionals and health system access operations leaders, focusing on strategic talent acquisition and pipeline development.
Responsibilities
- Proactively identify and build relationships with senior Epic professionals and health system access operations leaders whose skills would augment our team , independent of open requisitions — prioritizing people at the architect level and above
- Maintain a warm, active network over years, with disciplined tracking and communication so your work is visible to others even when it’s still in progress
- Engage credibly with senior-level talent by speaking knowledgeably about patient access, Epic workflows, clinical-technical landscapes, and health system operations — earning trust through substance
- Advise internal leaders on talent timing: whether to move quickly on a strong candidate or invest in a longer-term relationship for a future need
- Represent Hummingbird’s mission and work in ways that resonate with experienced healthcare professionals who are selective about who gets their attention
- Think critically through ambiguous talent puzzles — figuring out who the right person is, how their goals and Hummingbird’s needs intersect, and how to reach them in ways that don’t feel transactional
- Make recommendations with conviction and the willingness to flex — bring a clear point of view, disagree openly when needed, and commit when a decision is made
- Build or identify a system for tracking pipeline activity and relationship status, and share your work openly with the team — including the messy, in-progress parts
- Contribute to broader talent strategy conversations, bringing a peer-level perspective to how Hummingbird attracts and thinks about senior healthcare talent
Skills
- 6 to 8+ years of sustained experience in Epic, healthcare patient access, talent acquisition, sourcing, a related discipline or some combination of these areas, with a track record of high-complexity, high-independence work
- Direct, hands-on experience within Epic environments at a depth sufficient to engage credibly with Epic architects and senior healthcare ops professionals — you can hold a real conversation about how the system works, not just what it's called
- A history of building trusted relationships through personalized, well-researched engagement
- Strong independent judgment: you can figure out how to approach a novel situation, form a clear recommendation, and push back when something doesn't add up
- Patience and comfort with ambiguity — you understand that good pipeline work doesn't always net immediate hires, and you're okay with that
- Transparency in how you work: you share progress openly, track your activity systematically, and help others see what's happening in the pipeline even when it's still developing
- Experience working cross-functionally with senior leaders and consultative teams, operating as a peer rather than a support function
- Prior employment at Epic (the company) — strongly preferred
- Experience evolving sourcing practices, tools, or processes and bringing others along on changes
- Background in a startup or fast-paced environment where you've had to build structure while moving quickly
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid time off
- 401(k)
- Parental leave
- Career development support
- 2-3 trips per year for company events, conferences, or internal strategy sessions
