You’ll have the autonomy to manage your day, influence strategy at a national level, and drive meaningful outcomes—without being tied to a single location.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, contracting, and execution—and who can translate complex Medicaid and HCBS waiver structures into scalable, growth-driven solutions.

• Serve as the go-to expert on Medicaid, HCBS, and payer processes
• Provide hands-on guidance during contracting and early growth stages
• Develop playbooks, SOPs, and training resources
• Track KPIs and communicate insights to leadership

• Partner with Compliance, Payer Relations, and leadership teams
• Support audits, re-credentialing, and contract renewals
• Contribute to broader healthcare strategy initiatives

• 5+ years of experience in Medicaid managed care contracting and MCO enrollment
• Deep knowledge of HCBS waiver programs and personal care services
