What We’re Looking For

• Minimum of 10 years of relevant work experience, with strong preference for time in a Medicaid managed care organization, a state Medicaid agency, or an advisory role supporting Medicaid managed care clients.
• Deep subject matter expertise in Medicaid managed care, including state Medicaid policy, procurement and contracting, delivery system reform, quality and access priorities, and how policy interacts with product strategy across Medicaid populations such as LTSS, TANF, expansion adults, children and families, individuals with disabilities, and other eligibility groups.
