Project Consultant (fixed-term) for data-supported capacity and resource management

Would you like to help create a stronger basis for the financial and operational decisions at one of Denmark's largest hospitals?

Zealand University Hospital has initiated an ambitious development project to create greater insight into the relationship between economy, patient pathways, workflows, capacity and resources. The aim is to develop a data-driven tool that can visualize the consequences of different priorities and support decisions about the best possible use of the hospital's resources.

As a project consultant in a project team of four, you will be the link between the clinical site, the finance function and the technical development of the project's data-driven tool. You will collect and systematize knowledge about patient pathways, workflows, capacity and resource use, so this knowledge can be translated into functionality in the tool.

The purpose is to develop a tool that supports management's priorities by making visible the financial and operational consequences of different choices and scenarios. Thus you contribute to creating a stronger and more fact-based decision basis across the hospital.

The position is fixed-term for one year.

Your tasks

You will have a varied daily routine with close collaboration across the hospital's clinical departments, management, data and analytics environments.

A substantial part of the work consists of mapping and analyzing workflows, patient pathways and planning processes in order to create an understanding of connections, dependencies and capacity challenges. Based on the analyses you will collect, qualify and structure knowledge, which will be included in the further development of the project's tool.

You will facilitate workshops, interviews and working groups with managers and staff, and contribute to describing the business needs, logics and relationships that the tool must be able to handle. The work takes place at the intersection of clinic, finance, data and development, and you must be able to create coherence between these perspectives.

Who are you?

We are looking for an experienced profile with a clinical background or experience from clinical practice. You also have documented experience with development or transformation tasks in larger organizations.

You have experience with analysis and development of workflows, organizational changes and data-supported decision support. You can work independently with complex problems, create structure in large amounts of information and translate observations and analyses into a usable decision- and development basis.

We emphasize that you have an understanding of the relationship between operations, economy, capacity and organization, and that you can build constructive relationships with clinicians, managers and other partners. You have experience with patient flow, capacity planning, operations development or larger organizational change processes.

The position is aimed at candidates with experience from independent development and analysis tasks and preferably hospital operation. If your experience is mainly within administrative project support or traditional project coordination, the position will likely not be the right match.

What you get with us

In Finance our primary tasks revolve around budgets and forecasts. But we are aware that good financial management works best when we think across and can see and understand connections across the hospital.

You will become part of a professionally strong and engaged small team with a high degree of independence and close collaboration on shared tasks. We work with issues that influence how the hospital plans, prioritizes and uses its resources, and you will have the opportunity to contribute to a development project with great strategic importance.

We offer an informal work environment with high professionalism, good opportunities for sparring and a workday with great variation and influence on task solving.

About the application

AI is good, but we want a thoughtful and motivated application where you, with concrete examples, describe:

• Why you are applying for the position and whether it is the right fit.
• What experiences you have with analysis and development of workflows, capacity or organizational processes.
• A task or a project where you identified an improvement potential and translated it into concrete insights or improvements.

These examples will be included in the overall assessment of the application.
