Job Description
In-House Healthcare Contracts Manager (Engagement to Permanent / Onsite in Nashville, TN)
Are you a healthcare contracts professional who wants to own the contracting process from first draft to final signature? If you know healthcare contracting and want to be the go-to resource for hospital leaders on their agreements, this could be your next move.
Latitude is working with a Nashville-area healthcare entity that is adding an In-House Healthcare Contracts Manager who will report to its Chief Compliance Officer. You will negotiate and manage the hospital's agreements, from physician and managed care contracts to vendor, technology, and lease agreements, and keep them in line with Stark, Anti-Kickback, and HIPAA requirements. You will also strengthen how the hospital handles contracts by keeping its contract database current, creating standard forms and guidance, tracking deadlines and renewals, and supporting audits and board approvals. The ideal candidate has at least three years of contracts experience, including healthcare contracting.
This role will begin as a contract engagement and is expected to convert to a permanent hire after a successful engagement period. This is an onsite role in Nashville, TN.
Requirements for the In-House Healthcare Contracts Manager:
• 3+ years of contract management experience, including healthcare contracts
• Hands-on experience negotiating healthcare agreements; exposure to government contracting is a plus
• Solid grounding in contract principles and healthcare regulatory requirements
• Sound judgment, high integrity, and the ability to work independently while knowing when to escalate
• Excellent organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills, including with senior leaders
• Bachelor's degree in law, business, contract management, or a related discipline
• Contract management or paralegal certification (e.g., CCCM or CPCM) preferred
• Outstanding professional references
Position Details of the In-House Healthcare Contracts Manager:
• Type of role: Contract to Hire
• Schedule: Full-time
• Location: Onsite in Nashville, TN
• Duration: 3 - 6 month engagement, with the opportunity to convert to a permanent position
Compensation:
Pay: The annualized pay for the engagement position ranges from $90,000 to $110,000 when calculated on a full-time basis. Pay for contract engagements is based on multiple factors including but not limited to work experience, qualifications, credentials, location, market supply/demand, and the candidate's preference (each candidate's pay rate affects the client bill rate which can affect the candidate's competitiveness for the position).
Benefits: In addition to pay, all Latitude attorneys and other legal professionals working on contract engagements receive complimentary professional liability insurance coverage for work or acts or omissions provided within the scope of a Latitude-authorized engagement.
