The Medicaid Member Management project is one of the most complex technology development projects undertaken by Clemson University on behalf of the State of South Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). This project is a multi-year effort to replace the State's Medicaid Eligibility Determination System (MEDS) with a multi- tier application environment that requires modern technologies, technical practices and substantial collaboration with a variety of stakeholders. The Clemson Member Management Project Leader is responsible for coordinating the requirements, software development, and implementation activities for this project. The project leader will manage a mid-sized team, and will coordinate and oversee activities related to the business requirements and the infrastructure design, setup and operations. Duties include:
. Developing a project strategy and approach collaboratively with SCDHHS leadership, Clemson's Medicaid (MITS) team and other stakeholders.
. Developing a technology strategy in collaboration with SCDHHS's technology/enterprise architecture, goals and direction.
. Providing leadership to the project team regarding the strategy and approach.
. Overseeing the software development and implementation efforts.
. Developing a hosting solution collaboratively with Clemson's infrastructure team (CSO) and overseeing the implementation of the solution.
. Building a project plan and executing to that plan.
. Overseeing the project expenses within the allocated budget.
. Managing project risks and issues.
. Ensuring that all deliverables and activities are completed with high quality and in a timely fashion.
. Reporting on project status and strategies orally and in writing.
. Providing advice on procurement and implementation strategies.
. Coordinating with the legacy Medicaid Management Information System
(MMIS) and Medicaid Eligibility Determination System (MEDS) teams to ensure a smooth transition to new technologies and processes.
. Coordinating with outside entities, including vendors for other systems/services, providers, professional associations, and other State agencies.
. Other duties as assigned.
SCDHHS is seeking a leader with the information technology knowledge (modern software development and infrastructure architecture/design), team and project management, and interpersonal skills necessary to enable success on this high-visibility project. This position will provide project leadership for a large project whose team brings significant experience along with an "entrepreneurial" or "startup"
attitude and approach. The team is a combination of Clemson information technology professionals and experienced consultants, and we are seeking individuals who are highly productive, very flexible, and can work effectively in an environment where ambiguity is common.
Team members are expected to contribute with minimal supervision and be self-motivated. The project demands individuals who are strong collaborators, who want to make a positive contribution to the State of South Carolina, and can understand top-level goals and objectives and drive toward them. The project will use modern technologies and modern strategies, and the team cultivates "thought leadership" for Medicaid eligibility systems and general health information technology. Candidates who enjoy working on complex, change-oriented projects with motivated team members will find this position attractive.
. Previous experience in health care related information technology, insurance information technology, Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS), Medicaid eligibility, or social services eligibility, while not absolutely necessary, will be helpful.
. This position requires excellent communications skills including effective oral and written communication.
