• Translate approved requests into actionable portfolio items, providing clear scope, context and alignment for delivery teams.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to clinical leadership, using data insights and stakeholder feedback to shape portfolio priorities and resource allocation.
• Champion transparency and communication, ensuring intake status, prioritization outcomes, and decision rationale are visible across stakeholder groups.
• Influence long-term Medicaid product strategy, ensuring intake trends and performance insights inform investment decisions and process innovation.
