Join Us to Advance People Relations in Care, Academia, and Innovation

At Advocate Health, we are committed to promoting exceptional care and talented leadership across our clinical, academic, and administrative environments. We invite experienced people relations professionals to join us as a Physician & Faculty Relations Consultant Senior-a critical role that strengthens our mission by guiding leaders through complex provider relations, enabling enterprise standards, and transforming culture, accountability, and performance for employed physicians, faculty, medical residents, fellows, and Advanced Practice Professionals (APPs)

About This Opportunity

The Physician & Faculty Relations Consultant Senior partners with leaders across clinical, academic, and administrative domains to resolve complex people matters, mitigate risk, and reinforce a culture of empathy, rigor, and trust. This role is responsible for advanced consultation with leaders on performance, conduct, policies, and governance, applying frameworks that support defensible decisions and sustainable behavior change-not transactional case management.

You will shape enterprise consistency, encourage continuous improvement, and drive solutions that address root causes and create lasting organizational impact for our provider and trainee populations.

What You'll Do

• Serve as an advanced consultant on people relations issues involving physicians, faculty, residents, fellows, and APPs, including performance, conduct, harassment/discrimination allegations, and policy interpretation.
• Lead and support issue assessments, fact-finding, and solution development, maintaining neutrality, documentation integrity, and organizational alignment.
• Advise leaders on employment, faculty, trainee, and academic governance agreements, bylaws, and regulatory requirements.
• Guide leaders through defensible decision-making, facilitating learning, accountability, and sustainable change.
• Partner with Legal, Compliance, Risk, Medical Staff Services, GME, Faculty Affairs, Academic Affairs, and Education leadership to ensure cohesive response to provider/trainee relations.
• Shift conversations from policy violation focus to root driver analysis, reframing documentation toward solution and context.
• Coach leaders on performance management, conflict resolution, and navigating challenging conversations, ensuring issues are managed at the most effective level.
• Align practices with enterprise standards, accreditation, licensure, and compliance requirements, serving as a mentor/resource for People Relations & Enablement colleagues.
• Identify systemic trends, elevate insights, and refine frameworks, tools, training, and governance models for continued organizational maturity.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in human resources or related field (Master's preferred)
• Minimum 5 years' experience in human resources, employee relations, or business partner roles
• Ability to handle complexity, exercise agility and adaptability, deliver strong judgment and strategic thinking, and scale impact with innovative solutions
• Excellent communication, critical thinking, relationship/stakeholder management, negotiation and persuasion, and self-awareness
• Solid technical expertise in People & Culture disciplines and practices
• Experience working in environments requiring partnership across clinical, academic, and administrative structures

Preferred

• Master's degree in relevant field
• Advanced knowledge of consultation models, change management, and root-cause analysis
• Strong interpersonal and team leadership skills
• Familiarity with governance, faculty/trainee agreements, and healthcare regulations
• Additional HR/relations certifications or experience in healthcare/academic settings
