Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) is a nonprofit organization that helps states create financially sustainable solutions to advance health, health equity, wellness, and independent living for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. We help states build better programs for these individuals by providing exceptional national expertise around dual eligible and long-term services and supports (LTSS) policy and program administration. Our hands-on, state-specific, data-driven approaches improve individuals’ quality of life and outcomes, while efficiently managing Medicaid dollars.
We support state efforts to grow expertise, build Medicare-Medicaid integration capacity, and achieve success by assessing current situations and offering tailored approaches to achieve person-centered care. Our services include strategy and program design, program administration and operations, and communications. They range from developing Medicare proficiency, increasing coordination across the two programs, to implementing fully integrated programs.
We are pleased to announce an opening for a State Lead Project Manager. This position is critical to the implementation and execution of state client initiatives focused on advancing better coordination and integration of services and supports for dually eligible individuals. Under the direction of the Executive Director, the State Lead Project Manager responsibilities will include managing, with little supervision, all aspects of state client projects and initiatives, including supervising project teams comprised of state staff and state contractors (e.g., actuaries) to achieve project goals and objectives in a team atmosphere. The State Lead Project Manager is responsible for arranging state staff resources, running project workgroups internal and external to the state, adjusting assignments and delegating tasks, managing budgets, leading progress reporting, and conducting presentations to state leadership and funders.
Our ideal candidate is a self-starter with experience managing multi-faceted projects that are operating at various phases of a project lifecycle and leading teams with state clients and stakeholders to success with a proven track record. To be successful in this role, the candidate must have a robust attention to detail, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and an ability to maintain a positive relationship with state clients and diverse stakeholders including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), dually eligible individuals, health, medical, behavioral health, LTSS, and community-based providers, health plans and others.
