  • Identify operational gaps, risks, or inefficiencies and drive resolution across teams
  • Schedule and lead client touchpoints, including status calls, issue reviews, and coordination meetings
  • Develop a strong understanding of each client’s business, workflows, and priorities to better align internal efforts and optimize the solution
  • Maintain a high level of professionalism, accountability, and responsiveness in all client interactions, while improving friction and communicating promptly to foster trust

Position Requirements:

  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and follow-through skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-facing environment with ambiguity

AI Competencies and Expectations:

  • Use AI-enabled tools responsibly to improve account planning, meeting preparation, follow-up, issue trend analysis, and client communication quality.
  • Apply AI tools to summarize complex information, prepare executive-ready account briefs, and improve speed and consistency of internal coordination.
  • Understand the value proposition of MHK’s AI capabilities and be able to discuss them credibly with clients in the context of business outcomes.
  • Maintain a working knowledge of emerging AI applications relevant to payer operations, service delivery, and client engagement.

    • Serve as a primary relationship lead for assigned clients and make day-to-day decisions regarding account communications, meeting cadence, stakeholder engagement, and follow-up actions.
    • Determine when to escalate client issues, service concerns, delivery risks, or relationship threats to leadership.
    • Coordinate cross-functional resources and call for internal alignment meetings when client outcomes require broader action.
    • Prioritize account-level relationship activities and recommend client-specific action plans to protect satisfaction, retention, and growth.
    • Make recommendations on account strategy, risk mitigation, communication approach, and executive engagement.
    • Represent the client perspective in internal planning and governance discussions.
    • Approve routine client-facing communications and account plans within established organizational guidelines.
