Job Details

Your Opportunity with ECG: Manager, Enterprise Transformation & Operations

ECG is seeking a highly analytical, organized, and execution-focused program and operations manager with a strong orientation toward change management and communications to support Enterprise Transformation & Operations , including the Transformation Management Office (TMO) and the Healthcare Consulting Pool (HCP) Division.

 

The role will divide its time approximately evenly between supporting the TMO’s and HCP’s operations. The two areas are closely connected: TMO work intersects with the operational support provided to HCP, and the role is expected to connect them so that priorities, execution, and communications stay aligned.

 

Within HCP, this is not a behind-the-scenes role. The position will be visible and engaged with approximately 70 early career consultants. The role will build an understanding of consultants’ roles, skills, and expertise, as well as their training and development needs, and will use that understanding to balance individual growth with the firm’s needs for capacity, efficiency, and the right skill mix.

 

Across both domains, the role will strengthen  program execution, operational coordination, analytics, and stakeholder alignment across enterprise transformation and operational priorities. Change management and communications are essential tools in this role, used to drive readiness, adoption, and sustained results.

 

The ideal candidate combines strong program management , operational, and analytical capabilities with the ability to work across functions, navigate ambiguity, engage stakeholders, and translate strategic priorities into disciplined execution. This person brings a strong change-management and communications orientation and understands why that skill set is critical to achieving this role’s goals.
