The Role
ATI Advisory’s Payer Strategy and Program Design Practice helps states and health plans design and run Medicaid and Medicare programs. Our state work serves Medicaid agencies, the partner agencies that serve older adults and people with disabilities, and healthcare foundations on Medicaid policy, Medicare-Medicaid integration, and other state health policy issues.
The Director serves as project lead on state technical assistance and advisory engagements and is the primary contact for the client’s project lead. They bring a systems-level view of how Medicare and Medicaid intersect, with recommendations that fit each state’s goals, fiscal pressures, and how its government works. The Director reports to a Managing Director and works under an executive sponsor on each engagement.
What You’ll Do
Project Delivery
Lead state engagements. Serve as project lead on multi-year technical assistance and advisory engagements for state Medicaid agencies and their partner agencies, from assessing program options through design, implementation, and oversight. Manage scope, budget, timeline, and deliverable quality as state priorities shift.
Bring Medicare-Medicaid expertise. Advise on how traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid interact for dual eligible individuals, including dual eligible special needs plan (D-SNP) contracting, aligned enrollment, and Medicaid managed care procurements.
Client Services
Be the client’s trusted lead. Turn state priorities into clear recommendations for senior officials, and bring needs outside the current scope to the executive sponsor.
Build relationships across stakeholders. Work with state agencies, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), health plans, providers, and enrollees and their families. Help health plans and other clients understand state policy and respond to it.
Business Development
Support new work. Partner with the executive sponsor on proposals and scopes for new and expanded state work.
Contribute to thought leadership. Write and present on state approaches to integration and Medicaid program design at conferences, expert workgroups, and national forums.
People Development and Operations
Grow policy experts. Lead project teams of policy experts and analysts, and coach them to become subject matter experts and client advisors.
Uphold operating standards. Keep project budgets, project management tools, and client relationship management (CRM) records current, and improve processes through project retrospectives.
What We’re Looking For
At least 10 years of experience in Medicaid or Medicare policy, including work on integrated care for dual eligible individuals. Experience leading or advising state Medicaid agencies or health plans is strongly preferred.
Deep knowledge of how Medicare and Medicaid interact, including Medicare Advantage plan operations.
Experience designing, implementing, or overseeing integrated care or Medicaid programs.
An understanding of how state government works, including budgets, procurement, and federal approvals.
Experience as project lead on multi-year engagements, including leading project teams.
Clear writing and presentation skills for state leaders and other senior audiences.
Experience with behavioral health, long-term services and supports, or Medicare and Medicaid data is a plus.
