Senior Level Production Integration & Implementation Planning

The Senior Level Production Integration & Implementation Planning will lead early planning activities required to transition the ClaimsCore solution from Proof of Concept (PoC) evaluation toward a scalable production implementation. You will work across Peraton CMS MACs Cognizant and other technology partners to develop the integrated implementation approach for production with initial emphasis on Tier 1 interface integration MAC integration and transition planning production implementation sequencing cost modeling dependency identification resource requirements and operational readiness. You will translate lessons learned and technical evidence from the ClaimsCore PoC into an executable production implementation strategy and will be a key contributor to the Production Integrated Master Plan and Schedule (IMPS) Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis integration planning MAC transition planning and other pre-production planning deliverables. The position requires someone capable of operating at both the strategic and execution levelsunderstanding complex healthcare claims environments while converting technical operational and stakeholder requirements into a realistic production roadmap.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead development of the ClaimsCore production implementation strategy and roadmap incorporating PoC findings CMS requirements technical dependencies operational constraints and lessons learned.
• Lead planning of Tier 1 interfaces: I/F inventory ownership dependencies specifications connectivity testing certification implementation sequencing and production readiness.
• Develop the overall MAC integration and transition planning framework outline the steps to onboard and transition MACs into the future ClaimsCore operating environment.
• Work with CMS and MAC stakeholders to identify current-state interfaces dependencies data exchanges business processes transition constraints and readiness requirements.
• Support development of the Production IMPS including workstreams critical path dependencies staffing assumptions stage gates entry/exit criteria implementation waves and risks.
• Develop implementation sequencing recommendations for moving from PoC capabilities through parity production readiness MAC onboarding deployment and stabilization.
• Coordinate with Data Migration team to incorporate historical data migration reconciliation data validation and MAC-specific data transition activities into the production roadmap.
• Coordinate with Claims Accuracy & Business Rules team on business-rule migration configuration regression testing claims parity and validation activities into production planning.
• Coordinate with Tech Ops & Security to detail cloud infrastructure environments security authorization performance disaster recovery monitoring and operational readiness activities.
• Coordinate with Change Management to incorporate MAC stakeholder engagement communications training organizational readiness and cutover preparation.
• Support development of the five-year Total Cost of Ownership model including implementation costs infrastructure/cloud costs licensing labor integration migration operations/support MAC transition costs and other major cost drivers.
• Identify production implementation assumptions and develop low/base/high or alternative implementation scenarios where appropriate.
• Support development of program staffing and resource models for stakeholders including Peraton Cognizant CMS and the MACs.
• Facilitate cross-workstream production planning sessions and ensure assumptions dependencies and decisions are captured and incorporated into the integrated plan.
• Identify implementation risks early and develop recommended mitigation strategies.
