Job Description

Day‑to‑Day This person will serve as the portfolio lead across reporting and analytics initiatives supporting a large payer client's Operations, initially focused on Medicaid Care Management. Today, reporting work is scattered across multiple teams, making it difficult for Operations leaders to understand what is being worked on, when deliverables are coming, what is at risk, and where issues need escalation.

The Portfolio Manager will not personally build the reports or dashboards. Instead, they will sit above the individual delivery teams and PMs and create one integrated portfolio view. They will gather updates, establish committed delivery plans, track timelines and dependencies, manage RAID items, and hold teams accountable to agreed ETAs.

They will also serve as the primary face of the portfolio to senior Operations stakeholders, communicating regularly with Executive Directors and above. When requirements change, timelines are threatened, or regulatory needs arise, this person will bring the right stakeholders together, drive resolution, and escalate only when necessary.

Examples of initiatives include:

-Operational reporting, such as Care Management productivity dashboards -Medicaid contractual/compliance reporting required by individual states -Regulatory reporting and submissions to states and CMS -Eventually expanding the portfolio into Commercial and Medicare reporting and analytics

An important piece is that the portfolio structure is not already fully established. This person needs to help build that structure rather than simply inherit a mature PMO process.
