You will lead projects in a program of multiple Medicaid initiatives focused on waiver and state plan amendment design, development, and implementation at various stages in their project lifecycle.

You will either be remotely based or work out of one of our office locations. You will report to and partner with senior management in our Medicaid team for client work and career development.

Communicate project and delivery status to our clients, team members, and other stakeholders. Oversee the work of junior colleagues and provide guidance around schedule, scope, and deliverables for team members reporting to you.
• Develop your own career plan and mentor BerryDunn team members through partnered practice, knowledge sharing, and collaborating on project deliverables. Participate in marketing and business development activities, such as writing blog posts, attending conferences, reviewing requests for proposals (RFPs), and assisting with go/no‑go decision‑making.

You Have

• 5 years relevant professional experience in state or federal government, healthcare, and/or consulting
• Minimum of 3 years’ experience working directly for, or consulting directly with, a State Medicaid agency
• Significant experience working with the Medicaid program and policy in one or more of the following areas:
