• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to present complex technical concepts to non-technical state executives.

Responsibilities

• Drive the execution of the MMIS implementation from initiation through deployment and post-implementation stabilization.
• Act as the primary liaison between state Medicaid agencies, federal partners (CMS), enterprise vendors, and internal business units.
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, tracking milestones, critical paths, and resource allocations.
• Proactively identify, track, and mitigate project risks and issues to prevent timeline slippage or scope creep.
• Guide the project team through the CMS Outcomes-Based Certification (OBC) or Streamlined Modular Certification (SMC) processes.
