About the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD)
The National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) seeks a Program Director to primarily oversee and support its growing Medicaid leadership portfolio, along with other initiatives.

NAMD is a bipartisan, nonprofit, professional organization representing leaders for state Medicaid agencies across the country. Our members drive major innovations in health care while overseeing Medicaid, one of the nation’s most vital health care programs, which covers more than 74 million Americans. NAMD was established in 2011.

NAMD’s mission is to support Medicaid Directors in 1) administering their programs in cost-effective, efficient and visionary ways; and 2) enabling Americans served by Medicaid to achieve their best health status and to thrive in their communities.

NAMD is a small association and supports Medicaid Directors by:

1. Offering programs that connect Medicaid Directors to their peers and resources for problem-solving, exchanging lessons learned, and advancing innovations; and that provide leadership training to Medicaid Directors and their teams; and that advances the profession of state Medicaid Directors;
2. Providing Medicaid policy strategy and analysis, including developing and communicating consensus positions at a national level; and fostering a strong and equal state-federal partnership; and
3. Serving as the trusted source for data and information about Medicaid Directors.

Available Position: Program Director for Medicaid Leadership
The Program Director will oversee and support NAMD’s investments in leadership and professional development for Medicaid Directors and their teams. Although leadership is not a new area for NAMD, the median tenure for Medicaid directors remains at 19 months, suggesting that this is a highly challenging and difficult job prone to burn out and turnover. Given the critical leadership role Medicaid Directors play in every state – Medicaid can cover up to 30% of a state’s residents, and 25% of the state’s budget – the loss of momentum, historical knowledge, strategy, vision that often results from high turnover at senior levels, NAMD and its board of directors are committed to enhancing, expanding and “democratizing” investment in Medicaid leadership and succession planning.

The primary responsibility of the program director is to create a year-round program that offers multi-faceted leadership training for state Medicaid teams, including a mix of in-person events and virtual meetings; trainings geared toward teams, managers, and new Medicaid Directors; a mix of content and topics related to leadership; strategic communications around the portfolio; and other items. He/she will strive to keep the program and resources fresh, effective, varied, and always relevant to Medicaid Directors and their teams.

This individual is not expected to deliver or teach leadership content, although depending on skill and background, he/she could do some of this. The expectation is that the program director would leverage national or state experts for knowledge and skills for content and delivery. In other words, this is a role for design, development, management and coordination.

Although this position is built primarily around leadership, the successful candidate will have a strong background in health care policy and Medicaid. This is for two reasons. Medicaid, health care, and policy impact everything NAMD does, and to be effective, the Program Director must already be well-steeped in these issues. Second, the leadership program will be offered within the context of topics such as leading effective managed care contracting, building effective partnerships with advocates, and forming a strong partnership with CMS. In other words, some leadership resources will be built around Medicaid content.

The Program Director will report to the Deputy Executive Director and work closely with her on NAMD’s program portfolio and a related sustainability strategy. Business development will be an important aspect of this position. For example, this individual will be responsible for developing concept papers, grant proposals, and ultimately manage grants for the leadership portfolio. He/she will also work with the Deputy Executive Director and Operations Director on planning, budgeting, and financing the portfolio.

The Program Director will responsible for communications related to the leadership portfolio, including outreach to and engagement of the Medicaid Directors and teams; internal communication with the NAMD team regarding strategy and events; and external communications about NAMD’s program and efforts.

The Program Director will have staff support as needed to help with coordination of events, research of issues, tracking of tools and information, scheduling of events, and meeting planning.

Lastly, the Program Director will become part of a small but committed team of health policy analysts and fervent supporters of and advocates for Medicaid Directors. As part of the team, the program director will help develop annual NAMD meetings, sharing insights and ideas from his/her program area.  

Responsibilities

• Design, implement and expand NAMD’s leadership portfolio and related products for Medicaid Directors and their teams
• Manage projects and technical assistance
• efforts for states around Medicaid leadership and related issues
• Facilitate state-to-state learning opportunities through a variety of forums and outlets
• Coordinate and collaborate with other relevant organizations and keep abreast of emerging issues
• Assess, understand and keep track of the existing landscape of Medicaid leadership, including building a stable of national experts, identifying available resources, and other programs
• Develop and update an online directory of leadership resources and tools available to Medicaid Directors and their teams
• Evaluate the impact of NAMD’s leadership program and products, making adjustments for continual improvement and effectiveness per feedback of the Medicaid Directors
• Develop effective written and verbal communications – to both internal and external audiences – related to NAMD’s leadership program and products
• Develop tools such as webcasts, podcasts, issue briefs, blog posts, newsletters, and other vehicles for providing information
• Develop, secure and manage philanthropic funding for leadership program and products
• Respond to member requests and concerns related to this program area
• Collaborate with the NAMD team when events, funders, topic areas, states or Medicaid Directors overlap
• Manage and develop a program analyst

Requirements 

• Strong foundation of knowledge in state health policy issues, particularly regarding the Medicaid program
• 4-6 years work experience in relevant positions, at the state or national level
• Masters degree preferred, but additional relevant work experience may be considered equivalent
• A passion for learning programs and information exchange
• Intellectually curious, present, and an effective listener
• Excellent writing skills with the ability to communicate complex ideas in concise manner
• Strong project management skills and capacity to self-direct workflow
• Ability to work in a cooperative, team-oriented environment and to network with a wide-range of stakeholders
