Concord isn't your typical consulting firm; we are an execution company with a passion for making things happen. Our mission is to help clients enhance customer experiences, optimize operations, and revolutionize their product offerings through seamless integration, optimization, and activation of technology and data.

About the Role

We're looking for a sharp, experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the strategic evolution of a Medicaid Expansion platform for one of our healthcare clients operating within a multi-state enterprise.

This is a high-visibility engagement where you'll bridge deep Medicaid functional knowledge with strong technical leadership. You'll serve as the primary technical advisor and project leader, ensuring compliance, scalability, and operational excellence across a modern healthcare technology infrastructure.

• Assess the current Medicaid Expansion solution (built on a temporary commercial platform infrastructure), provide expert recommendations on target architecture (government-compliant MMIS or equivalent modern payer platform), and execute the migration with minimal disruption to members, providers, and operations.
• Collaborate closely with business SMEs who hold strong Medicaid operations knowledge; translate requirements into technical specs, integration plans, data migration strategies, and compliance frameworks (CMS, state Medicaid rules, HIPAA, etc.).
• Once the initial platform is stabilized, support a scalable rollout plan to affiliated plans, enabling them to enter or expand government business lines efficiently.
• Full project lifecycle ownership: charter, roadmap, risk management, stakeholder communication, budgeting, and executive reporting. Agile/hybrid delivery expected.
• Evaluate third-party solutions, cloud migration options, interoperability standards, and modernization opportunities.
• Ensure all solutions meet federal and state Medicaid requirements, security standards, and audit readiness.

Experience and Skills

Required Experience

• 7+ years of project/program management in healthcare payer operations, with a strong focus on technical platform implementations, migrations, or modernizations
• Deep knowledge of health plan core systems (claims, enrollment, provider networks, encounters), and the differences between commercial and government (Medicaid/Medicare) platforms
• Proven experience leading complex technology migrations in regulated healthcare environments
• Familiarity with enterprise payer platforms and cloud-based, interoperable architectures
• Strong knowledge of Medicaid regulations, CMS guidelines, and government program compliance
• PMP, Agile/Scrum certification, or equivalent

• Experience with Blue Cross Blue Shield plans or multi-state health plan environments
• Background in Medicaid Expansion or state-based managed care programs
• Ability to influence and advise senior leaders on technical strategy while partnering with business-oriented teams

• Technically fluent but able to communicate in business terms (and vice versa)
• Strategic thinker who's comfortable in ambiguous, high-stakes environments
• Collaborative leader who thrives in matrixed organizations
