Senior Director, Health System Engagement (Recruitment)

Arlington, VA

The Health Management Academy (THMA) brings together health system leaders and innovators to collectively address the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities. By assisting executives in cultivating peer networks, understanding key strategic trends, establishing pragmatic partnerships, and developing next-generation leaders, our members are better positioned to lead industry transformation.  

The Health Management Academy offers a dynamic atmosphere with significant opportunities for employees. If you are interested in contributing to a member-centric, creative, and collaborative workforce while deeply influencing top leaders and institutions in healthcare, THMA could be the right place for you!

Reporting to the SVP, Peer Learning, Partnerships & Leadership Development, the Director/Senior Director of Recruitment plays a pivotal role in driving growth across The Health Management Academy’s Convening portfolio. This leader will design and execute strategies to re-engage inactive or lightly engaged members while also driving the acquisition of new member systems. The Director/Sr. Director will be accountable for clearly articulating and tracking progress against recruitment goals, leveraging a combination of relationship-building, strategic insight, and data-driven follow-through.

The ideal candidate is someone who builds trust quickly, communicates clearly, and manages relationships with rigor and accountability. Success depends on a deep understanding of member value, a consultative mindset, and the ability to align member needs with THMA’s offerings.

  • Collaborate Across Convening Teams: Partner with Forum Directors, Member Success Associates, and other internal stakeholders to ensure smooth hand-offs, consistent communication, and strong member experiences.
