• Translate Medicaid/Medi-Cal program requirements, operational needs, and stakeholder input into actionable roadmaps, workplans, governance materials, and executive-level recommendations.
• Assess project health, identify delivery risks, and recommend practical mitigation strategies that support timely, transparent, and client-centered execution.
• Facilitate meetings, workshops, and decision forums with senior stakeholders; prepare clear agendas, materials, briefings, status updates, and follow-up actions.
• Coordinate across business, technology, policy, compliance, and vendor workstreams to promote alignment and reduce gaps between strategy and implementation.
• Support procurement, vendor management, implementation governance, change management, or quality assurance activities when required by the client engagement.
• Develop high-quality client-facing deliverables, including presentations, reports, issue logs, decision papers, implementation plans, and executive communications.
• Model sound consulting judgment, professional presence, and accountability while representing KAI Partners in complex client environments.
• Other duties, as assigned.

• Excellent facilitation, written communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills.
• Sound judgment, adaptability, and comfort working in ambiguous, high-visibility client settings.
