Full Job Description Position Description:

Summary Rios Partners is a mission-driven consulting firm creating positive change by delivering value for our clients, investing in our employees, and solving tough problems that benefit our local and global communities. We ground our approach in empathy, enabling our team members to better hear our customers' challenges and work together to develop effective solutions. As a team, we know what it takes to move organizations forward with measurable, sustainable results. Our primary consideration when evaluating candidates is alignment with our Mission and Values, which can be found here. Job Description Rios Partners is seeking an experienced communications executive to serve as Communications Lead supporting a large-scale federal financial management capability-building and training engagement. This individual will design and lead the communications and learner-engagement strategy for an executive-level financial leadership training program, translating complex healthcare finance concepts into clear, accessible materials for non-expert audiences. This is a senior, client-facing role requiring both strategic communications leadership and direct subject-matter credibility in the managed care/health insurance industry. Key Responsibilities Design and execute a communications and learner-engagement strategy supporting an executive financial leadership training curriculum. Develop branding and identity, course materials, and reference guides. Develop pre-launch awareness and enrollment campaigns directed at senior client leadership. Create learner-facing communications across email, intranet, and print channels. Develop video and multimedia assets that translate complex healthcare finance content — including third-party insurance billing, managed care reimbursement, and revenue-cycle operations — into clear instructional media. Develop post-training reinforcement campaigns that sustain adoption of new financial management practices across the client's program offices and field locations. Ensure all materials are clear, accurate, and tailored to a public-sector finance audience. Partner closely with instructional designers and subject-matter experts to ensure technical and financial concepts are communicated simply and are easy for non-expert audiences to absorb. Required Education, Skills, and Experience Minimum of 12 years of relevant experience. Experience developing marketing and member communications specifically for managed care health insurance organizations, including communicating plan operations, reimbursement, and coverage details to non-expert audiences. Prior service as an executive within a managed care organization — e.g., a health insurance payer such as UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, Molina, Centene, CareSource, or AmeriHealth, or a comparable Medicare Advantage/Medicaid managed care plan. Consultants and vendors who supported such an organization do not qualify. Direct operational knowledge of all three of the following: payer reimbursement, member communications, and health plan financial operations. Ability to produce clear, accurate, audience-appropriate communications across email, intranet, print, video, and multimedia channels. Ability to obtain and maintain a Low Risk / National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) suitability determination. U.S. work authorization required.

Minimum qualification note:

General healthcare communications or consulting experience alone does not satisfy these requirements. The resume must evidence executive service inside a managed care organization and hands-on knowledge of all three operational areas listed above. Preferred Qualifications Knowledge of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) financial systems and VA finance operations is a significant plus. Experience developing communications and instructional content for healthcare finance, managed care reimbursement, or revenue-cycle operations. Experience supporting federal or other public-sector clients. Experience supporting executive training, learner engagement, or adoption campaigns. Experience translating technical financial or operational content into multimedia instructional assets. Additional Information Work may be conducted virtually or on-site at client locations as directed. Travel may be required in support of training delivery and related activities. Hours may be structured as fractional/part-time or full-time depending on program needs; candidates should be prepared to discuss availability across a flexible weekly range. Final employment terms and assignment are contingent upon contract award and client approval of Key Personnel.
