About Mathematica:
Mathematica applies expertise at the intersection of technology, data, methods, policy, and practice to improve well-being around the world. We collaborate closely with public- and private-sector partners to translate big questions into deep insights that improve programs, refine strategies, and enhance understanding using technology and advanced analytics. Our work yields actionable information to guide decisions in wide-ranging policy areas, from health, education, early childhood, and family support to nutrition, employment, disability, and international development. Mathematica offers our employees competitive salaries, and a comprehensive benefits package, as well as the advantages of being 100 percent employee owned. As an employee stock owner, you will experience financial benefits of ESOP holdings that have increased in tandem with the company's growth and financial strength. You will also be part of an independent, employee-owned firm that is able to define and further our mission, enhance our quality and accountability, and steadily grow our financial strength.
About the opportunity:
Mathematica is searching for several seasoned professionals who are recognized experts with experience leading public health programs at the state and/or local level to join our growing state practice. This person will bring expertise focused on one or several of the following areas: public health program and systems transformation, public health program administration, epidemiology, public health surveillance and data collection, development of local public health programs and interventions, or the financing of public health systems and operations through the braiding and blending of federal, state, and local funds. Ideally, this person will have prior experience as a senior state health official or comparable role in public health program design, improvement, and transformation at a public or private entity such as agency director, deputy director for programs, chief finance officer, chief medical officer, chief public health official, state epidemiologist, or similar position. The successful candidates will join our Health division to play leadership roles in engagements primarily for state and local agencies and may support our federal and foundations clients.
The candidate may represent Mathematica externally at conferences, on technical expert panels, and/or as an expert witness; develop thought leadership that is based on evidence; lead technical teams as project director or subject matter expert; assure quality by performing rigorous reviews of technical proposals or final deliverables; and serve as mentor and senior advisor at Mathematica developing ways to engage staff and share knowledge.
Responsibilities:
About the team:
The State Health and Medicaid practice is one of six that comprise our Health Unit. The successful candidate will join our group of over 800 health policy professionals in the Unit, including staff with degrees in data analytics, public health, public policy, economics, behavioral or social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. We offer our employees a stimulating team-oriented work environment. We take pride in our employees and in their commitment to excellence. We encourage staff to collaborate in developing creative solutions to difficult problems. This collegial spirit has helped us earn our reputation for innovative and high-quality work.
Position Requirements:
To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and salary expectations at the time of your application.
These positions offer an anticipated base salary range of $150,000 – $200,000 annually (Principal Consultant) and $180,000 – $220,000 annually (Senior Fellow). Both positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus based on individual and company performance.
Staff in our Health unit will eventually work with our largest client, Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS). Most staff working on CMS contracts will be required to complete a successful background investigation including the Questionnaire for Public Trust Position SF-85. Staff that are unable to successfully undergo the background investigation will need to be able to obtain work outside CMS. Staff will work with their supervisor to get re-staffed; however, if they are unable to do so, it may result in employment termination due to lack of work.
