We're Scan.com. We're building America's national imaging network: the infrastructure that connects patients, providers, and payers to faster, better-value diagnostic imaging. Thousands of patients move through our platform every day, and each is a real person waiting for an answer to a healthcare concern. We exist to get them that answer faster.
We manage the medical imaging pathway end-to-end. Providers order through a single point of entry, and from there, we run the entire medical diagnostic pathway. Managing the full pathway, rather than brokering pieces of it, is what lets us deliver imaging faster, at higher quality, and at a lower cost than the fragmented status quo.
Our work brings together access to imaging centers, ordering, scheduling, and delivery. We're building a business that makes this process easier for patients and for the organizations responsible for their care. We've raised over $200m in VC funding.
We're looking for a Head of Consultant Relations to help build the next stage of Scan.com.
WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE IN THIS ROLE:
You will build and lead Scan.com's national consultant and broker relations function, reporting to the Head of Employer Sales. You will recruit, coach, and manage a planned team of three Directors of Consultant Relations who report directly to you, owning the team's strategy, account coverage, and commercial contribution. This is a hands-on leadership role: alongside leading the team, you will personally own priority consulting-firm relationships and stay involved in live employer opportunities. Your team will own consultant engagement and influence, while Employer Account Executives lead employer sales and contracts.
As a scaleup business, you can expect your role to develop over time. Here are some of the types of things you could be getting involved in:
Set the national consultant strategy and operating model, allocating named firms and offices across the three Directors, defining clear account ownership, and aligning coverage and employer opportunity plans with Sales.
Recruit, onboard, and coach the Director team. Set individual and team goals, review account plans and deal progress, and hold each Director accountable for relationship quality and commercial contribution.
Personally develop senior relationships across priority consulting firms, including benefits, clinical advisory, and analytics leaders. Explain Scan.com's imaging model and evidence, and help the team navigate how each firm evaluates solutions and recommends them to employers.
Turn relationships into qualified introductions, RFP invitations, finalist opportunities, and wins. Stay involved in employer evaluations to address objections and help the sales team move deals forward.
Work with Solutions Consulting, Finance, and Analytics to build credible employer business cases, making the assumptions behind projected savings, utilization, and access clear.
Equip consultants with useful presentations, evaluation materials, case studies, and education sessions in partnership with Marketing and commercial leadership.
Own reporting on consultant-sourced and consultant-influenced pipeline, revenue, win rates, and relationship coverage. Agree attribution with Sales and commercial leadership and use results to improve where we invest time and resources.
Bring market feedback into Product, Network, and Operations, and work with Client Success when client delivery affects consultant confidence or creates expansion opportunities.
WHAT YOU MIGHT BRING TO THE TABLE:
You don't need to tick all the boxes to apply for this role. We believe everyone can add value, learn, and grow. These are some of the experiences and capabilities that would help you succeed:
A track record of turning benefits consultant and broker relationships into employer opportunities and commercial results.
Established senior relationships across priority benefits consulting and brokerage firms, such as Mercer, Aon, WTW, Gallagher, or Lockton, with evidence of turning national influence into local employer opportunities.
A practical understanding of self-funded employer benefits, buying cycles, and the roles of employers, consultants, health plans, and third-party administrators.
The ability to explain healthcare economics, clinical evidence, network access, and implementation requirements without overstating the case.
Experience building a consultant-relations strategy within an employer health solution, influencing complex sales, and creating the account ownership, enablement, and measurement practices needed to scale a function.
Demonstrated ability to hire, coach, and manage commercial or consultant-relations professionals, set clear goals, and improve team performance while personally owning important relationships.
AI REQUIREMENTS
At Scan.com, AI isn't a side project; it's how we work. For a member of this team, that means using AI daily to draft, check, and move faster. For the person leading this team, the bar is higher: you're expected to see where AI and agentic tooling can restructure the work itself, not just speed up your own tasks.
Tier 3 — AI-Building
You use AI daily in your own work, and you actively identify and help build automations or agentic workflows that change how your team operates — not just personal productivity gains. You know how to evaluate whether an AI-driven process is safe and reliable enough for sensitive patient data before rolling it out to the team.
A VIEW ON OUR CULTURE
We're building something that matters. Every scan we speed up is a real person waiting on an answer, and that urgency runs through everything we do. We move fast, own outcomes, and take pride in our output. If you like ambiguity, working with ambitious people, and want your work to visibly move the needle, you'll feel at home here. For you to be successful at Scan.com, you must embody our values.
HOW WE WILL INTERVIEW YOU
Introductory call with our Talent Partner — roughly 30 minutes.
Should it feel like there is an initial fit for all, we will invite you back to a video call with the hiring manager – roughly 45 minutes. This is a more structured interview that will deep-dive into the role and technical needs
‘Scan Standard’ interview, where our panel screens for values alignment and the success factors that matter at Scan.com. You will also be assessed on your AI fluency at the stage and depth relevant to your role (see AI requirements above).
Meet the founders and/or other team members. Again, length varies depending on how many people and whether in person or via video call.

WHAT WE OFFER
Annual base salary of $300,000, $525,000 OTE expectation

Dedicated personal development budget
Medical, vision, and dental coverage

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in head consultant jobs.
- 7 or more years of management consulting or advisory experience at a recognized firm
- Demonstrated ability to lead client engagements and manage senior stakeholder relationships independently
- Bachelor's degree required, MBA or advanced degree in a relevant discipline strongly preferred
- Proficiency in quantitative analysis, financial modeling, and structured problem-solving frameworks
- Experience managing project teams and coordinating cross-functional workstreams on complex engagements
- Expertise in at least one industry vertical such as healthcare, financial services, or technology
Tips for Your Head Consultant Job Search
Tailor your resume to engagement types
Head consultants are hired for specific engagement models, whether turnaround advisory, digital transformation, or organizational design. Restructure your resume around engagement outcomes, not job duties, and name the client industries you've served so hiring partners can assess fit quickly.
Demonstrate your client management depth
Firms screen head consultant candidates closely on executive-level client relationships. Your resume and cover letter should name the seniority level of stakeholders you've managed, not just the project scope. C-suite and VP-level contact history signals you can own an engagement independently.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head consultant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Get specific about your methodology toolkit
Head consultants are expected to arrive with a defined approach to diagnosis and delivery. Name the frameworks you use, such as operating model design, value-stream mapping, or agile transformation, in your materials so firms don't have to infer your methodology from project descriptions.
Prepare a structured case narrative for interviews
Most head consultant interviews include a live case or structured problem-solving exercise. Practice narrating your diagnostic process out loud, covering hypothesis formation, data approach, and recommendation structure. Firms evaluate how you think, not just your conclusion.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Head consultant offers often include variable components tied to engagement performance or utilization targets. Clarify what counts toward those targets before accepting. Ambiguity in scope definitions can affect your effective compensation significantly once you're on the ground.
Head Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head consultants?
The companies hiring the most head consultants right now include Ippon, Sysco, and Scan, with the largest share of openings in South Carolina, Georgia, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated at large advisory firms and boutique strategy practices serving enterprise clients.
How many head consultant jobs are remote?
About 100% of head consultant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though client-site presence requirements vary by engagement type. Strategy and organizational advisory roles tend to offer the most scheduling flexibility, while operational transformation and implementation-focused roles typically require regular on-site presence at the client's location.
How do you become a head consultant?
Most head consultants build toward the role through several years as a manager or senior consultant at an advisory or professional services firm. Demonstrating ownership of a full client engagement, from scoping through delivery, is the clearest signal firms look for. Developing deep expertise in a specific industry vertical or functional area, such as supply chain, finance transformation, or digital strategy, strengthens your positioning for a head or principal-level title.
Can you get hired as a head consultant with limited consulting experience?
Some firms hire into head consultant roles from industry rather than traditional consulting backgrounds, particularly when a candidate brings deep functional expertise, such as a former CFO moving into financial advisory or a CTO transitioning into technology strategy consulting. The key is framing your experience around client-facing leadership, complex problem-solving, and measurable outcomes rather than internal operational roles, which tend not to translate directly into a head-level consulting title.
What does the head consultant interview process look like?
Most firms run a multi-stage process that opens with a screening call focused on your engagement history and client management experience. This is typically followed by one or two rounds of structured interviews combining behavioral questions and live case exercises, where you work through a business problem in real time. Final rounds at senior-level firms often include a presentation or proposal exercise and a conversation with a partner or practice lead.
Where can I find and apply to head consultant jobs?
You can find and apply to head consultant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Find roles that match your experience and practice area, then apply directly to each listing.
