Technical Delivery Manager, Medicaid

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people. Your Impact As the Technical Delivery Manager on the Medicaid team, you bring clarity where it is missing. The team responds to novel analytic questions using Medicaid data, and this role is about listening across policy, technical, and government partner contexts, making sense of what is actually being asked, and turning that into clear decisions, shared expectations, and workable next steps. As Technical Delivery Manager, you will build trust by identifying tradeoffs early, clarifying decision rights, and following through. This role holds both delivery responsibility for the Medicaid project while lending product skills as well: you work with strong project SMEs to document and support what gets built and when, and you make sure the team has the clarity, coordination, and tools needed to build it well. The team builds reports for CMS audiences, produced through a data pipeline that draws on national Medicaid data (e.g. T-MSIS). The data science team builds and runs that pipeline in Python and SQL. A policy and program SME provides Medicaid expertise and supports stakeholder relationships. You will not write code or be expected to understand dense policy documents, but you will work close enough to the team to scope work, set priorities, ask the right questions, and represent the work well to stakeholders. Our Culture For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means it is okay to run out during the day and pick a child up from school or go for a mid-day walk if it is nice outside. This position is 100% remote. Our entire team is also entirely remote across the United
