Ten providers recently posted job listings seeking leaders in contracting jobs and relations, according to a compilation of postings from job-seeker sites. Note: This is not an exhaustive list.
System-Level Contracting Jobs
Albany Med seeks a system contracting administrator, a role focused on managing contract terms and relationships across the health system’s full network. This type of position typically oversees day-to-day contract administration and ensures compliance with negotiated terms across multiple relationships.
With the increase in demand for skilled professionals in the healthcare sector, many organizations are actively involved in the hiring process. Hiring is a crucial aspect of maintaining operational efficiency and enhancing service delivery.
Vice President-Level Openings
The current trends in Hiring reflect a shift towards integrating roles that require diverse skills in contracting and relations.
Adventist HealthCare, based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, seeks a vice president of revenue cycle and managed care, one of several senior contracting jobs on this list requiring both revenue cycle and relations expertise. Erie County Medical Center, based in Buffalo, New York, similarly seeks a vice president of managed care and relations, reflecting how some systems are combining these functions under a single senior leadership role.
As organizations adapt to changing demands, the focus on Hiring individuals with analytical skills is becoming increasingly important.
Manager and Director-Level Contracting Jobs
Capital Health, based in Trenton, New Jersey, seeks a manager of managed care contracting and relations for its Pennington, New Jersey location. HonorHealth, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, seeks a director of contracting analytics, a role that suggests growing emphasis on data-driven approaches to contract negotiation and performance tracking within contracting jobs more broadly.
Coordinator and Specialist Roles
This evolution in the hiring landscape emphasizes the need for professionals who can navigate complex contracting and finance roles effectively, thereby streamlining the Hiring process.
Kaleida Health, based in Buffalo, New York, seeks a contract management specialist, while Lehigh Valley Health Network, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, seeks a contracting operations coordinator. These more operationally focused roles typically support the execution and maintenance of existing contracts rather than leading new negotiations.
In light of recent changes, the focus on Hiring competent managed care coordinators is vital for enhancing operational efficacy.
Finance-Focused Contracting Jobs
Organizations must prioritize Hiring strategies that align with evolving healthcare needs.
Mass General Brigham, based in Somerville, Massachusetts, seeks a contracting finance operations lead, a position that bridges financial analysis with contract management. This kind of hybrid role reflects the growing complexity of contracting jobs, which increasingly require both negotiation skills and financial modeling capability to evaluate contract terms effectively.
Additional Managed Care Roles
Orlando Health seeks a managed care coordinator, while University Medical Center of El Paso, Texas, seeks a supervisor of relations, rounding out the list of contracting jobs currently posted across these ten organizations.
This geographic focus on Hiring qualified candidates ensures that organizations remain competitive in a rapidly changing market.
What This Hiring Activity Signals
The range of roles, from entry-level coordinators to vice president-level positions, suggests hospitals and health systems across the country continue investing in dedicated contracting and relations expertise at multiple organizational levels. This spread of contracting jobs across both large academic systems like Mass General Brigham and smaller regional systems like University Medical Center of El Paso indicates the function remains a priority regardless of organization size.
What to Watch Going Forward
As health systems continue navigating complex negotiations amid broader industry cost pressures, demand for skilled contracting and managed care professionals is likely to remain steady. Organizations seeking to fill similar contracting jobs may find it useful to track which specific skill combinations, such as finance and contracting, or analytics and contracting, are increasingly being bundled into single roles across the industry.
A Regional Concentration Worth Noting
Looking at the geographic spread of these contracting jobs, there’s a notable concentration in the Northeast, with Albany Med, Erie County Medical Center, Capital Health, Kaleida Health, Lehigh Valley Health Network, and Mass General Brigham all based in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts. This clustering may reflect the region’s dense mix of competing health systems and payers, which often requires more dedicated contracting staff to manage multiple overlapping negotiations. Organizations recruiting for similar roles outside this corridor, such as HonorHealth in Arizona or University Medical Center of El Paso in Texas, may find it useful to benchmark compensation and role scope against these Northeast listings, given the larger sample size and variety of seniority levels represented there.
