17A is a new kind of management consulting firm. We come from places like McKinsey, Palantir, JPMorgan Philanthropies, and venture-backed healthcare startups, united by one goal: improving the quality of government and social services.

If you’re a mid-level healthcare consultant from a top-tier consulting firm, we’d love to connect! We're always building relationships with healthcare consultants who might be a fit for future project-based engagements — so if that's you, we'd love to know you exist!

What this work tends to look like:

  • Supporting state and federal agencies or healthcare organizations through complex policy and operational change — Medicaid, benefits access, and coverage programs are a common thread
  • Translating dense policy and regulatory guidance into practical, actionable plans
  • Partnering closely with agency and client stakeholders under real-world pressure and timelines
  • Producing work that drives action, not shelf reports

You might be a fit if you:

  • Have 2-5 years of top-tier management consulting experience
  • Have experience in Medicaid, health coverage, or benefits-access programs, or in mission-driven public health work
  • Are motivated by public-service impact as much as by the work itself
  • Are comfortable with project-based engagements — a strong first project is often the start of a longer relationship, not a one-off
  • Bring the rigor of a top consulting environment without the rigidity

Location: Remote, U.S.-based.
