About The Position

ThinkWell is a global health strategy and implementation organization committed to improving health system performance in complex environments. We combine deep technical expertise in health financing, primary health care, and monitoring and evaluation with pragmatic implementation support to help governments and their partners achieve better health outcomes. In the United States, ThinkWell applies this same systems-strengthening approach to domestic public health challenges—partnering with state and federal agencies to design, implement, and evaluate transformative programs.

ThinkWell seeks a highly organized, entrepreneurial, and impact-oriented Project Manager to support our engagement on the Delaware Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP)—a landmark federal initiative funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) supporting up to $1 billion in rural health investment over five years. The RHTP aims to transform health care delivery across rural Sussex and Kent Counties, Delaware, through 15 coordinated initiatives spanning crisis stabilization, behavioral health integration, primary care redesign, workforce development, and community-based prevention.

The Project Manager will serve as ThinkWell’s primary managerial lead for this engagement and the main point of contact with the state of Delaware’s 15 RHTP subrecipients. This role sits at the intersection of grant compliance, multi-stakeholder coordination, and monitoring and evaluation, with direct exposure to a diverse ecosystem of rural health system partners.

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to travel up to 20% for Delaware site visits and stakeholder engagements.
