Program Director - Cost, Coverage, & Value

About National Academy For State Health Policy

The National Academy for State Health Policy NASHP is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of, by, and for state policymakers, committed to developing and advancing health policy innovations and solutions.

At NASHP, we engage state leaders to solve problems and share best practices, conduct policy analyses and research, leverage state expertise to develop model policies, disseminate information on state policies and programs, and provide technical assistance to states.

We have an immediate opening for a Program Director to join our growing Coverage, Cost and Value ( CCV) team.

Position Overview

As a director, you will have experience with and understand the complexities of hospital and health systems and prescription drugs prices, which federal and state data show are the leading health care cost drivers. The position requires a mix of expertise with diverse data, particularly related to hospital / health system financials, and understanding of the prescription drug supply chain which influence prices. Knowledge of increasing consolidation within the health care market and its impact on access to care and prices is also important as state policymakers need immediate support to affect change.

You will work in conjunction with senior staff to oversee and develop projects and project work plans, assist in the implementation of work plans, and assure timely delivery of work products and activities encompassed in those work plans. This may include but is not necessarily limited to providing education on NASHP's hospital cost tool so officials can leverage data to inform policy, identifying key state issues and designing technical assistance in response, facilitating dynamic discussions on complicated topics, guiding and conducting research, analysis and writing, convening and supporting learning networks or collaboratives, and staffing advisory committees, seminars, and conferences.

Directors will be assigned supervisory duties, with day-to-day oversight of policy associates' and research analysts' work on specific tasks or projects. Working with senior and executive level staff, the director may oversee all aspects of project planning and implementation, including the development and management of project budgets.

This is a full-time position, based in NASHP's Washington, DC office, but in recognition of special circumstances, this position could be remote.
