Job description

Role: Emergency Preparedness Lead

POP: 12+ months Contract

Location: Remote

SCOPE: 

The Emergency Preparedness Lead drives analytic operations supporting disaster response,  healthcare resilience, and national health security initiatives. This role owns the full lifecycle of emergency preparedness analytics — from data collection and provider-level dataset production to beneficiary access assessments during active emergencies. The Lead serves as the primary analytic partner to CMS, translating complex data into actionable intelligence that informs policy and operational decision-making at the federal level.

REQUIRED SKILLS:

  • Bachelor's degree in analytics, public health, data science, or a related field (equivalent experience accepted).
  • 7–10 years of research or analytics experience in emergency preparedness, disaster response, or public health resilience.
  • Strong proficiency in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
  • Experience producing and managing large-scale provider or beneficiary datasets.
  • Demonstrated ability to assess healthcare access gaps during emergency or disaster scenarios.
  • Familiarity with federal health programs, CMS data systems, or related government health infrastructure.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — ability to present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

PREFERRED SKILLS:

  • Direct experience working with or supporting CMS, FEMA, HHS, or similar federal agencies.
  • Knowledge of national health security frameworks (e.g., National Health Security Strategy, PAHPA).
  • Proficiency in data tools such as SQL, Python, R, Tableau, or SAS.
  • Experience with geospatial analysis related to disaster impact or provider access mapping.
  • Master's degree in public health, analytics, or emergency management

TASKS:

  • Lead and manage analytic workstreams tied to disaster response and healthcare resilience programs.
  • Produce and maintain provider-level datasets used for emergency planning, response, and after-action analysis.
  • Assess beneficiary access to healthcare services during declared emergencies and identify coverage gaps.
  • Support CMS in developing data-driven strategies that advance national health security objectives.
  • Collaborate with federal, state, and local partners to align analytic outputs with operational response needs.
  • Design and execute research studies evaluating the effectiveness of emergency preparedness policies and interventions.
  • Develop reports, briefs, and dashboards that communicate findings clearly to program leadership and federal clients.
  • Monitor evolving emergency scenarios and adjust analytic priorities in real time as needed
