About the Role
The Center for Healthcare Economics and Policy ("Center") is a separate business unit of the Economics Practice within FTI Consulting. The Center applies cutting-edge economics and quantitative methods to assist clients in developing and implementing market-based solutions across the spectrum of healthcare activity. Our analyses utilize economic modelling and simulation applied to real-world data in order to predict future demand for services to provide organizations insights into how to maintain quality, improve health outcomes, reduce costs and properly deploy constrained resources. We provide predictive modeling capable of evaluating complex "what- if" scenarios for both public and private stakeholders.
Our staff includes academically trained economists with extensive industry expertise and decades of policy and applied experience in the public and private sector. Our experts have testified before antitrust and regulatory agencies in the US and internationally, as well as in state and federal courts on a variety of matters. Further, the Center's experts have published seminal articles on antitrust issues in the healthcare industry as well as novel approaches for quantifying the value of new pharmaceutical interventions. The Center's analytic domains include mergers and acquisitions, market insight, value- based arrangements, cross-stakeholder and community-level analysis including economic impact of poor health, population health, value assessment, quantification of patient-centered preferences and digital health. We serve as trusted advisors to public and private sector clients on a wide variety of projects across these domains and collaborate with colleagues across FTI Consulting, including strategic communications, healthcare practitioners and financial specialists.
What You'll Do
The Senior Director will be working in small teams to provide healthcare-related and applied microeconomics analytics to a diverse array of clients. This is an opportunity to work and grow professionally in a dynamic environment, contributing to projects that help shape the healthcare environment. You will be an integral part of the Center's leadership team, involved in the development of its core initiatives and client work as well as managing and mentoring junior staff.
How You'll Grow
We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications. You'll be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor, guide and support you through regular coaching sessions and serve as an advocate for your professional growth.
As you progress through your career at FTI Consulting, we offer tailored programs for critical professional milestones to ensure you are prepared and empowered to take on your next role.
