Healthcare Consultant
Contractor
United States
Posted on Sep 15, 2026
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.
