Put simply, our mandate is impact. We want to make healthcare massively better for every human being.
Rock Health Consulting is a boutique consultancy that supports enterprise companies on digital health strategy and innovation, helping our clients compete in the evolving digital health landscape. Disruptive digital health strategies require outside-the-box thinking. At Rock Health, we identify and assess new opportunities by infusing creativity and future-thinking into our process, connecting dots in new ways. (And we’re so nerdy that we think that’s super cool!) We also help further the digital health ecosystem in many other ways including mentoring startups, publishing cutting-edge insights on the industry, and presenting at industry conferences.
About the Role:
We’re hiring a Principal within our digital health consulting practice. There are three main parts to this role. The first is leading high impact engagements which help our clients develop new digital health strategies. This involves building trusted relationships with senior executives at healthcare and tech companies operating in the digital health market (Tech, Retail, Diagnostics, Health Plan, Health System, Health Tech, Pharma and MedTech), and developing business opportunities at our existing and new client organizations. You will manage, coach, and mentor teams to identify innovative opportunities and deliver high-impact engagements at the cutting edge of digital health.

You are eager to take on an entrepreneurial role and become part of the leadership team. You are a great team leader, setting direction and guiding teams to execute seamlessly on projects. You have an eye for spotting potential hiccups and course correcting before things go wrong. You maintain a strong focus on coaching and mentoring to build capabilities and a positive culture within your teams, but you are also not afraid to roll up your sleeves and dig in where needed. You are a strategic thinker who can create the right environment to help your team innovate new ideas and approaches and communicate the answer clearly in both written and verbal communications. You are comfortable with ambiguity, and are confident charting a path forward for the team and prioritizing among multiple competing tasks. You have a strong desire to develop as a leader and a professional, and recognize that this requires being open to coaching and feedback from your team. You have strong client management capabilities and build easy rapport with stakeholders across client teams. You are excited by the opportunity to join a new practice (a startup within Rock Health) and build your expertise and network in digital health.
