Description
Be Part of Something Radically Different
At Holon Health, we don’t do “business as usual.” We’re a trailblazing healthcare startup reimagining what it means to care, for our clients and our people. We provide whole-person care to justice-involved individuals living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and we do it with deep compassion, community wisdom, and an unshakable belief in second chances.
Our approach throws out the playbook. We integrate medical, behavioral, and social care. We prioritize prevention and recovery. We treat clients like people, not checkboxes. And just as importantly, we know that our team can only care for others if they’re cared for themselves. That’s why we lead with flexibility, trust, and a culture built on well-being, inclusion, and respect.

Engagement Overview
Holon Health is seeking an established independent consultant or consulting firm to provide project-based services for an initial portfolio of four Colorado locations. Each location will be governed by an agreed statement of work identifying deliverables, milestones, budget parameters, and target completion dates. Additional locations or ongoing facilities assignments may be added through separate written scopes as Holon Health expands.
The consultant will independently determine the manner, means, sequencing, work location, and resources used to complete the engagement, while coordinating with Holon Health at agreed decision points. The consultant may provide services to other clients and is expected to operate an independent business using its own tools, systems, personnel, and professional judgment.

- Develop and manage the buildout plan for each approved location, including design, permitting, construction, and vendor coordination.
- Manage project budgets, timelines, risks, and key decisions to keep each location on track for its go-live date.
- Coordinate FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) procurement and installation so each location is fully operational on go-live.
- Ensure completed locations meet Holon Health's approved brand, clinical, operational, accessibility, and safety standards.
- Coordinate ongoing maintenance, repairs, landlord matters, and facilities vendors after locations open.
