Coordinate with project teams to research, analyze, and synthesize Medicaid policy, procurement, funding, operational, and technical information.
Coordinate with and provide task-level guidance to junior team members when appropriate, including reviewing assigned work products and providing feedback for quality and consistency.

5-10 years of experience supporting Medicaid agencies, health and human services programs, public sector consulting, procurement, project management, or related advisory services.
