Senior Delivery Project Manager - Medicaid Programs

Summary

The Delivery Project Manager leads the execution of complex, multi-workstream initiatives within large-scale Medicaid programs. This role partners closely with state clients, ecosystem vendors, business leaders, and cross-functional delivery teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, within scope, and without surprises, while meeting all regulatory and contractual requirements.

Your role in our mission

• Lead multiple complex projects across a multi-vendor ecosystem, from initiation through implementation and stabilization.
• Develop and maintain integrated, logic-driven project schedules using Microsoft Project, including critical path analysis, dependency management, and baseline control.
• Actively manage project teams to meet committed dates; identify schedule risk early and drive corrective action.
• Apply formal stage-gate governance, ensuring entry/exit criteria, readiness reviews, approvals, and quality checks are completed before advancing phases.
• Enforce disciplined change control, including scope, schedule, and cost impacts, with documented approvals.
• Own and actively manage RAID logs, ensuring risks and issues are clearly articulated, mitigated, and escalated when appropriate.
• Coordinate delivery across multiple workstreams, vendors, and functional teams.
• Partner directly with state clients, ecosystem vendors, and internal leaders to plan, prioritize, and deliver system changes.
• Serve as the primary point of communication for project status—providing clear, accurate, and transparent updates to stakeholders at all levels.
• Assign and manage resources; mentor team members; and act as an escalation point for delivery challenges.
• Monitor delivery performance against contractual commitments, SLAs, budgets, and regulatory timelines.
• Adhere to all PMO and program governance standards, processes, and procedures.
• Support capacity planning and workload balancing across projects, defects, and operational work.
• Collaborate with peer project managers to align resources, dependencies, and priorities across the program.
