  3. Establish and maintain project governance structures, including steering committees, executive oversight forums, and decision-making frameworks.
  4. Monitor project budgets and funding timelines, ensuring alignment between implementation activities, funding availability, and contractual obligations.
  5. Support the translation of federal and state regulatory requirements into actionable implementation tasks, timelines, and accountability structures.
  6. Coordinate activities across multiple workstreams and organizational units, maintaining alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
  7. Manage competing priorities and concurrent project commitments effectively.

  12. Facilitate project meetings, workgroups, and executive briefings; prepare clear and concise status updates, decision memoranda, and implementation progress reports.
  13. Manage relationships with federal partners, advocacy organizations, service providers, provider associations, and other external stakeholders as required.
  14. Lead and coordinate matrixed project teams comprised of subject matter experts, policy analysts, program specialists, technology teams, and operational staff.
  15. Drive accountability within cross-functional teams without direct supervisory authority by establishing clear roles and expectations.
  16. Oversee development of high-quality implementation deliverables, including implementation plans, operational readiness assessments, policy and procedure documentation, training materials, and transition plans.
  17. Manage scope, change control processes, risks, and issues, escalating critical items as appropriate.
  18. Conduct root cause analysis and develop corrective action plans to address implementation barriers and compliance concerns.
  19. Monitor cross-project dependencies to ensure proper sequencing and coordination.
