• Analyze and report CDI findings and trends, offering actionable insights and recommendations for process improvement.

• Support client CDI program development and optimization, including workflow design, policy alignment, and performance metric tracking.

• Participate in implementation projects for CDI software tools and workflow redesign initiatives.

• Contribute to internal consulting knowledge base by sharing clinical, coding, and operational insights with peers and leadership.

• Represent the firm professionally with clients, maintaining confidentiality, accuracy, and high standards of consulting integrity.

• Travel up to 10% (as needed) for onsite assessments, education sessions, and client engagement activities.

Requirements

• Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) with completed medical degree.

• CCDS or CDIP certification required.

• Must maintain current and active status for all professional credentials and certifications.

Experience

• 3–5 years of progressive CDI experience in acute care or consulting environments.

• Proven success in provider engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

• Experience supporting CDI or coding improvement initiatives in multiple facility or health system settings preferred.

Skills & Competencies

• Excellent written and verbal communication with a consultative and professional demeanor.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• High proficiency in EHR and CDI technology (Epic, Cerner, Iodine, 3M, Nuance, or equivalent).

• Ability to balance multiple client projects with attention to detail and timelines.

• Independent, adaptable, and collaborative work style suited for a dynamic consulting environment.

Preferred

• Prior consulting firm experience or multi-client CDI support background.
