The Consumer Directed Module (CDM) is a web based software application developed to support a new approach to managing personal care services for Medicaid beneficiaries. The goals of the CDM are to make communication among the participant (and/or representative), his or her support broker, financial management services agency and state administrator simple and efficient; permit ongoing, timely, and efficient monitoring; and provide data to support improvement of the quality of service in the program.
The Associate Project Director, with guidance from the CDM subcommittee, oversees all aspects of the Module's implementation, maintenance and advancement. The Associate Project Director chairs the subcommittee; supervises the consultant (or staff member) responsible for guiding the Module's technical functions; develops and communicates key project timelines and deliverables; and serves as the primary liaison between grantees, funders and other stakeholders. The Associate Project Director is responsible for developing and managing any and all contracts between the NPO and outside vendors responsible for advancing the CDM.
This fast-paced position requires excellence in writing and oral communication, the ability to analyze data, the capacity to help bring about consensus among team members, and an interest in formulating creative strategic goals. This position requires the ability to design user training guides and plan and execute training sessions. The Associate Project Director also creates marketing materials for outreach and recruitment of new states.
Finally, the Associate Project Director collaborates on the planning, development, and management of the Center for the Study of Home and Community Life.
