Quality Systems Manager Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Overview

The Medicaid Enterprise System (MES) Manager leads and supports delivery of complex MES-related consulting services for HHS agencies. This role primarily supports our U.S. Territory-based clients, combines client leadership, delivery execution, and subject matter expertise to support MES and service-related modernization initiatives. The MES Manager operates across engagements in both lead and supporting roles, driving delivery outcomes while navigating complex stakeholder environments that include government agencies, system integrators, and federal partners.

The primary area of focus for the MES Manager role is support of MES initiatives in Puerto Rico, including system modernization efforts, vendor oversight, and program-level advisory. This role will play a key project, program, and at time portfolio manager level role, and in doing so will help ensure delivery quality, stakeholder alignment, and execution consistency across MES initiatives.  The role requires the ability to translate policy, operational, and technical requirements into actionable execution, manage delivery risk in high-visibility environments, and provide clear, credible guidance to SMA and federal-partner clients. The successful candidate will bring deep MES domain expertise, strong program and project management leadership, experience operating within a consulting services delivery model, and prior experience interfacing with both federal partners and SMAs. Successful candidates must also possess the ability to adapt best practices to the operational realities, scale, and capacity of a U.S. territory Medicaid agency.

This position offers flexibility in work location, with the resource able to sit remotely or in one of BerryDunn's offices, depending on preference. Regardless of location, the role requires regular collaboration with distributed teams and travel to client sites, generally expected to range from 25-50%, depending on engagement phase and client needs.
