Principal Healthcare Analytics & AI Consultant, Forward Deployed Engagements (Remote, US)

Overview SolisRx is a healthcare analytics consultancy embedded inside the operational core of mid-market infusion providers and specialty pharmacies. We sell monthly engagement retainers and deliver fractional teams across data engineering, decision analytics, and revenue cycle intelligence. Our clients run tens to hundreds of millions in annual revenue. Our recommendations move it. We are hiring a Principal Healthcare Analytics & AI Consultant to own client engagements end to end, from stakeholder discovery through delivery, expansion, and long-term account health. This is the senior IC seat in our delivery org. You will operate as the most senior voice in the room with clients, with direct access to the founder and direct authority to direct engineering resources. The bar for this role is high. The compensation reflects it. The trajectory is uncapped. What You Will Own Stakeholder discovery. Run scoped interviews with C-suite leaders at infusion centers and specialty pharmacies (COOs, CFOs, Heads of Operations, and occasionally medical directors). Translate ambiguous business questions into structured analytical problems. Produce decision-ready specs without supervision. End-to-end delivery. Architect and build dashboards, semantic models, and pipelines yourself across Power BI, SQL, and the Microsoft Fabric stack. You write the DAX, model the fact-and-dimension tables, validate against source. You do not hand off and supervise. Engineering leverage. Direct offshore engineering resources to scale your output. Write the spec. Run the QA. Own the outcome, and the bug. Executive presentation. Present findings to client executives without a Principal in the room filtering your work. Numeric, specific, recommendation-led. Account expansion. Identify scope-expansion opportunities within your account: new analytics workstreams, additional service lines, deeper RCM integration. Surface them to the founder with a clear business case. Help close them. Delivery system design. Beyond your own account, contribute to SolisRx's delivery operating model, sprint structure, QA standards, ticketing discipline, documentation conventions. We are still building the firm; senior ICs help shape it. This is a hybrid consulting and technical delivery role inside a healthcare-specific operating context. The work is roughly 70–80% data and BI craft: dashboards, modeling, pipelines, advanced intelligence & executive translation, and 20–30% healthcare domain fluency around revenue cycle, claims, prior auth, and infusion-specific operational realities. You will be the senior voice in the room for your account from week one. What We Are Looking For We screen on three dimensions: track record, technical fluency, and operating temperament. All three are required. Track record 8 to 13 years of progressive experience in BI, analytics, or data consulting Consulting background at a pharma or RCM analytics firm: ZS, Axtria, Beghou, IQVIA, MathCo, Trinity, Huron, Chartis, L.E.K. Healthcare, or Big 4, boutique, or independent. Senior IC role at a healthcare data startup or product company also a strong fit Current or recent title at the level of Decision Analytics Manager, Senior Manager, Associate Director, Principal, Staff, Architect, or Lead. If you are on the cusp of a pure people-management promotion and want a different path, we want to talk Demonstrable record of shipping engagements that drove client P&L outcomes, not just deliverables that "went well" internally Real client-facing experience: discovery with COOs and CFOs, executive presentations with no Principal filter in the room, managing stakeholders who disagree with each other Technical fluency Deep hands-on skill in Power BI or Tableau at a level where you have built things people thought were impossible. You know DAX or LOD expressions cold Strong SQL: CTEs, window functions, performance tuning, comfort debugging codebases you didn't write Experience shipping production ML use cases: classification, regression, or unsupervised, that drove clear business value. Not Kaggle notebooks. Real models that informed real decisions Comfort with the modern data stack, exposure to Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, or equivalents. Conceptual fluency in medallion architecture and lakehouse design Active, hands-on use of AI tools in your workflow. Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT. You have shipped work using agentic frameworks, function calling, tool use, or RAG done properly, or you are itching to. Bias toward "Claude-pilled" curiosity. Operating temperament Recommendation-led, not options-led. You do not surface choices without a point of view First-principles problem structurer. Comfortable in ambiguity, undeterred by missing information, capable of converging on a defensible answer Comfort directing engineers and unblocking them, not just handing off specs Strong written and verbal communication. You write with precision, speak with confidence, and do neither at unnecessary length High-velocity executor. You self-impose deadlines and hold them. You flag slippage before it happens, not after Strong pluses Healthcare, specialty pharmacy, infusion, or RCM domain experience. If you have done commercial analytics, patient services, claims, prior auth, or benefits investigation work, we want to talk. Not required if you have led complex analytics engagements in other regulated industries Familiarity with 837/835, HL7, FHIR, X12, NCPDP etc. Previous Forward Deployed Engineer or embedded consultant experience inside a product company Prior tenure inside a high-bar environment: top consulting (MBB, ZS, IQVIA), top tech (FAANG analytics, frontier AI labs), or a venture-backed analytics startup What This Is Not This is not a back-office developer role. It is not a dashboard factory role This is not a pure people-management track. We are hiring a senior IC, not a manager-of-managers. If you are looking to step out of building, this is the wrong seat This is not a 9-to-5, but also not ibanking. We run on US Eastern hours and Client deadlines and urgency are real. The work will fluctuate but expect an average of 45-55 hrs/week. This is not a role with a 6-month ramp. You should be productive on a live account within your first two weeks This is not a domain-agnostic analytics role. You will be steeped in healthcare data, claims, eligibility, referrals, prior auth, billing, within your first 60 days. Candidates who cannot get excited about healthcare operational data should self-select out Trajectory Year 1: Embedded on a single high-priority account. Own a vertical slice of delivery. Founder shadows closely. Year 2: Lead a forward-deployed team end-to-end, own the engagement outcome. Present to client executives without filter. Profit-share begins. Year 3+: Senior leadership track. Profit-share moves from initial participation to a meaningful, growing stake tied directly to firm performance. Compensation This is structured for senior ICs who want upside, not predictability. Base: $115K–$140K, calibrated to demonstrated caliber. Performance-based variable: 20-30% of base for top performers, tied to client outcomes, delivery quality, and business performance. Total compensation range: $140K–$185K annually. Profit share: : Participation begins in Year 2 and grows into a meaningful stake as you move onto the senior leadership track. This is the principal-track-equivalent path inside a small, fast-growing firm. For US candidates: Healthcare and reasonable PTO, and full AI tooling budget. Fully remote with occasional client travel (roughly 4 to 8 US trips per year). If you're optimizing for guaranteed cash, the bigger firms will pay you more. If you're optimizing for trajectory and uncapped upside on a small, fast team, this is the structure.
