About the Role:

You have excellent qualitative and quantitative analysis skills, can communicate your findings clearly and confidently, and think quickly on your feet. You work well in a collaborative environment, take ownership in your contributions, and understand that high-quality work is the product of shared ownership and teamwork. You are resilient, value feedback as a tool for growth, and are comfortable navigating through ambiguity.

• Develop financial models to perform quantitative analysis
• Leverage AI tools with sound judgment, ensuring accuracy and confidentiality
• Collaborate with project teams to execute projects
• Participate in research and publication of digital health thought leadership
• Engage with the digital health ecosystem
• Collaborate with the broader Rock Health team on company-wide initiatives

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree; emphasis in Business, Health Administration, Public Health, Technology, or Life Sciences highly desirable
• 2-5 years work experience in healthcare consulting and/or in a strategy-specific role
• Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving skills
• Demonstrated experience executing quantitative and qualitative research
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Comfort with AI for research and note-taking, paired with sound judgment and discipline in its use
• Ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies as they become available
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to adapt to changing priorities
  High level of motivation and self-starting attitude
• Passion for digital health innovation
• Willingness to travel when necessary to meet client and team needs (note the role is primarily remote; however, a few planned events happen each year that you may be required to attend)

Our Values:

Ideal candidates share our core values:

• Pioneering—we inspire the future, spark original thinking, and embrace ambiguity and change
• Impactful—we work on the things that matter most, make lasting change, and punch above our weight
• Truth telling—we deliver trusted insights, tell it like it is (nicely), and admit what we don’t know
• Curious—we are always learning, engaging with the full ecosystem, and seeking and giving thoughtful feedback
• Empathetic—we care about each other as people, engage fully and make space for others, and appreciate the fun and quirky parts of ourselves
