Summary/Objective:

Care Eleven Health is seeking an experienced Rural Health Transformation Program Manager to lead the planning and implementation of complex government funded healthcare initiatives. This role is ideal for a hands-on program leader with demonstrated experience in government grant administration, formal project management, cross functional coordination, budget oversight, risk management, and executive reporting. The successful candidate will bring the structure, judgment, and accountability needed to translate award commitments into executable plans and measurable outcomes. This position is anticipated to support one or more Rural Health Transformation initiatives funded through a state administered federal program. Care Eleven Health has applied for potential funding through the Louisiana Department of Health Rural Health Transformation Program, which is supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Depending on the final approved award scope, this position may oversee one initiative or coordinate multiple related workstreams. The position is grant funded and subject to final award approval and continued funding. Upon final award approval, the Rural Health Transformation Program Manager will lead the operational planning and implementation of Care Eleven Health's Rural Health Transformation initiative or initiatives. The Program Manager will establish implementation plans, budgets, schedules, reporting controls, risk management processes, and accountability structures while coordinating contractors, vendors, internal leaders, and external partners. This is a hands-on leadership role without direct supervisory responsibility for Care Eleven Health employees. The position requires the ability to independently manage complex government funded work and keep leadership informed of progress, spending, outcomes, risks, and required actions.

Essential Functions & Responsibilities:

Translate award agreements, scopes of work, budgets, and milestones into integrated implementation plans with accountable owners, deadlines, dependencies, and measurable deliverables. Establish and maintain program management controls, including work plans, integrated schedules, critical path dependencies, responsibility matrices, decision logs, risk and issue logs, change control processes, milestone tracking, and executive status reporting. Lead cross functional work involving contractors, vendors, internal functional leaders, and external partners by establishing clear deliverables, deadlines, performance expectations, and accountability processes. Coordinate applicable program workstreams, including school onboarding, partner participation, staffing, vendor support, data readiness, and other implementation activities included in the awarded scope. Coordinate contractor and vendor onboarding, scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, performance expectations, documentation, and issue resolution in partnership with organizational leadership and applicable functional owners. Partner with finance and leadership to administer and monitor government award budgets, spending, staffing assumptions, vendor commitments, grant deliverables, and required supporting documentation. Track program milestones, expenses, and deliverables against applicable award requirements and maintain complete records for reporting, monitoring, audits, and closeout. Identify potential compliance, allowability, documentation, budget, or performance concerns and coordinate timely corrective action. Establish a reporting calendar and processes for collecting, validating, and presenting program, financial, service delivery, and outcome data. Produce concise dashboards and written updates covering milestones, participation, service delivery, spending, outcomes, risks, decisions, and corrective actions. Coordinate recurring government grant and program reporting across multiple contributors and data sources, resolve reporting gaps, and maintain documentation supporting reported results. Serve as the day-to-day operational contact for assigned Louisiana Department of Health program matters. Coordinate schools, community organizations, health plans, healthcare providers, contractors, vendors, and other partners involved in the awarded work. Prepare agendas, decisions, action items, and progress materials for executive, partner, advisory group, and steering committee meetings. Identify risks, issues, delays, and barriers; drive mitigation and resolution; and escalate material matters requiring executive or state level action. Coordinate applicable state and federal monitoring, audit, site visit, and reporting activities and maintain documentation supporting award compliance and program performance. Perform other related responsibilities consistent with the approved award scope and organizational needs.
