This is a foundational leadership role within our Government Development function, reporting to the General Counsel and sitting at the intersection of policy, procurement, and commercial strategy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This individual will own end-to-end business development across federal agencies (CMS, VA, HHS, HHS/OIG) and state Medicaid programs — driving net-new contract wins, expanding existing relationships, displacing incumbents in competitive RFP environments, and building the teaming and partnership infrastructure required to compete on large government procurements.</span></p> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Success in this role requires deep credibility with government buyers, mastery of federal and state procurement processes, and the judgment to navigate complex, politically nuanced sales cycles. This is a strategic leadership position requiring someone who wins government business through policy influence, relationship depth, and procurement expertise as much as through traditional sales execution.</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
