  • Integrate vendor generated data with Compassus enterprise data to inform solution decisions.
  • Prioritize solution features based on measurable ROI and operational barrier removal, sequencing lower value enhancements appropriately.
  • Translate cross site pilot learnings into a standardized enterprise operating model.
  • Identify workflow efficiencies and recommend operating model adjustments that support scalability.
  • Partner with Execution and Deployment leadership to ensure architectural integrity through enterprise rollout.

  • 7-10 years of progressive experience in operational transformation, workflow design, enterprise systems implementation, or management consulting.
  • Experience shaping vendor supported or internally developed technology enabled solutions.
  • Healthcare or multi-site service industry experience preferred.

Communication Skills: Ability to communicate complex operational and technical concepts clearly to executive leaders, operational stakeholders, and external partners. Skilled in preparing executive level presentations, business cases, and structured documentation.

Other Skills and Abilities: Ability to understand, read, write, and speak English. Demonstrated systems thinking capability and ability to translate ambiguity into structured action. Ability to influence without direct authority and guide vendor and cross-functional partners toward enterprise aligned solutions. A professional presence that influences desired results with both external and internal stakeholders. Adaptable in dynamic environments requiring disciplined execution.
