Project Entity Support​/OPTN Coordination Specialist

Maximus is currently seeking a Project Entity Support/OPTN Coordination Specialist for a bid opportunity. This position supports the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in overseeing the national organ transplant system. At the center of that is the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which ensures organs are allocated fairly and based on medical need.

Our role is to enable that process—supporting administrative processes, managing financial records and coordinating special reports which ensure policies are implemented effectively. It’s a high-impact program that contributes directly to improving outcomes for patients in need of life-saving transplants and the successful hire will be a part of this effort.
