Program Manager, Government

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

As a Program Manager at For People, you will play a pivotal role in the digital transformation of federal government services. You will work with a talented team of professionals dedicated to optimizing data processes, enhancing data analytics capabilities, and building robust data governance frameworks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Medicaid programs throughout the country. This new project will transform how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) leverages data to drive informed policy decisions, streamline workflows, and ultimately improve health outcomes for beneficiaries.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

Our entire team is remote across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. There will never be a return-to-office, as we have none!

This position's published base salary range is between $90,000 and $125,000 annually plus generous benefits (e.g., For People pays 100% of Gold-tier employee health insurance premiums) and annual company profit sharing.

Your Opportunities

In this project, you will be the delivery lead on a small, agile team implementing a Medicaid data strategy. As the Program Manager, you will:

• Foster a collaborative and kind team culture in the program
• Manage all aspects of program delivery so that we’re continually working towards CMS’s program objectives and deliverables
• Act as the primary point of contact for CMS, managing stakeholder relationships and ensuring clear communication and understanding of project goals, expectations, and progress
• Identify and mitigate risks to the program's success, proactively addressing potential challenges and developing contingency plans as needed
• Manage program financials, including budgeting and forecasting, to ensure financial objectives are met
• Ensure compliance with all contractual, regulatory, and quality standards, including maintaining appropriate documentation and reporting requirements
• Report program status and outcomes to senior leadership
  
  

You Bring

• A humble and caring attitude aligning with For People’s values – how we work with passion, fun, curiosity, sustainability, humility, and respect
• 4+ years of relevant experience in program or project management, with having managed previous government contracts
• Understanding of government contracting processes, including the FAR, and other relevant regulations
• Exceptional leadership and cross-functional team management skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and team members
• Some experience with data platforms, data strategies, or data analytics is preferred but not required
  
  

If you're passionate about modernizing government and ready to make Medicaid data more accessible, accurate, timely, and secure, we encourage you to apply.

Some fine print. You will be working on a United States government platform, and they have a few basic requirements for contractors like ourselves. You must perform all work physically within the United States at all times. In addition, you must be a United States citizen and be able to pass a government-performed public trust background check.

For People is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, and/or veteran status.
