Policy Process Director

Maximus is currently seeking a Policy Process Support Director for a bid. This program supports HRSA in overseeing the national organ transplant system. At the center of that is the OPTN, which ensures organs are allocated fairly and based on medical need.

Right now, they’re modernizing how policies are developed—making the process more efficient, data‑driven, and transparent.

Our role is to enable that process—supporting committees, managing workflows, and ensuring policies are implemented effectively. It’s a high‑impact program that contributes directly to improving outcomes for patients in need of life‑saving transplants.

This is a remote position. Please note that this position is contingent upon bid award.

• Provide guidance and subject matter expertise on policy support activities, including interpretation of relevant statutes, regulations, and executive directives.
• Serve as a key point of contact with government representatives and stakeholders on policy‑related matters, participating in routine status updates and working sessions as needed.
• Oversee the development of policy deliverables to ensure quality, accuracy, consistency, and alignment with program objectives and requirements.
• Provide direction and oversight to personnel supporting policy research, analysis, and development activities.
• Review and approve policy‑related products prior to submission.
• Identify and assess policy‑related risks, issues, and dependencies, and coordinate mitigation strategies with project leadership.
• Support the preparation of reports, briefings, and other required deliverables, including contributing to policy‑related content as applicable.

• Bachelor's degree in relevant field of study and 10+ years of relevant professional experience required.
• Master's in public health, health policy, law or related field required.

• 10+ years OPTN/transplant policy or federal health regulatory experience.
