[Remote] Consultant | Public Health Strategy
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 17A is a management consulting firm focused on improving the quality of government and social services. They are seeking a Consultant for Public Health Strategy to lead initiatives in program integrity and operational effectiveness for a large-scale Medicaid provider program, aiming to build internal capabilities and enhance service delivery.
Responsibilities
• Lead and project-manage 5-10 core integrity initiatives spanning compliance, quality assurance, documentation standards, and risk mitigation
• Work closely with senior leadership and functional owners to scope, sequence, and execute initiatives with clear milestones and measurable outcomes
• Build internal capabilities so that program integrity functions can be owned and sustained by the organization after the engagement concludes
• Develop frameworks, tools, and standard operating procedures that embed accountability and rigor into day-to-day program operations
• Assess and improve core operational workflows, documentation practices, and cross-functional coordination mechanisms
• Support the organization in adopting stronger ways of working — including meeting cadences, decision-making processes, project tracking, and knowledge management
• Partner with managers and frontline leaders to identify friction points and co-design practical solutions suited to a home health care environment
• Deliver targeted capability-building (e.g., workshops, playbooks, coaching) so teams can sustain improvements independently
• Serve in an advisory and chief-of-staff capacity alongside senior leadership
• Provide ad hoc problem solving, analysis, and research as priorities evolve
• Communicate progress and recommendations clearly to executive and operational audiences
• Operate as collaborative, low-ego team members fully embedded in the organization’s culture and mission
Skills
• 2-4 years of experience in management consulting, public sector strategy, or a related analytical role
• Energized by the mission — genuinely care about Medicaid, home-based care, or the people these programs serve
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments and building structure where there isn't any yet
• Strong project management instincts and can keep multiple workstreams moving simultaneously
• Can communicate clearly with both frontline staff and senior executives
• Ready to be embedded — not just advisory — and want to see the impact of your work directly
• Familiarity with home- and community-based services, Medicaid, or dual-eligible programs
• Experience with program integrity, compliance, or quality improvement in a healthcare or social services setting
• Prior exposure to organizational design or operational process redesign
Benefits
• Medical benefits
• Other perks
Company Overview
• We are a strategy group focused on public-serving solutions. We design programs, create tools and build capabilities to make service delivery better. It was founded in 2014, and is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, USA, with a workforce of 51-200 employees. Its website is https://group17a.com.
