About The Position

The Government Business Project Manager will lead the planning, coordination, and execution of high-impact government implementation projects, partnering across Product, Engineering, Client Services, Regulatory, and executive leadership. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex environments, knows how to turn broad requirements into actionable plans, and is comfortable holding teams accountable to commitments. This is not a role focused solely on tracking status or facilitating meetings. We are looking for someone who will actively drive the work forward, surface risks early, resolve ambiguity, and ensure that projects stay on track from initial planning through go-live and steady-state operations. The right person will bring a strong understanding of government healthcare environments, particularly CMS, Medicare, Medicaid, or related state and federal programs, and will be able to quickly understand how business, regulatory, product, and technology requirements come together. At Quest Analytics, youâ€™ll have the opportunity to do meaningful work at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and government while helping shape how we deliver solutions that improve access to care.
