RHTP Program Area Grants Manager

Under the supervision of AHCCCS Rural Health Transformation State Project Officer and Principal Investigator, the Program Area Manager serves as the operational lead for the programmatic components of the Rural Health Transformation Grant Program. This position is responsible for developing initiative-specific work-plans and budget inputs aligned with CMS-approved goals; monitoring grant milestones, deliverables, and outcomes across multiple programmatic work-streams; coordinating stakeholder engagement activities and contributing to quarterly and annual grant progress reports submitted to CMS. The Program Area Manager ensures the successful execution of all RHTP initiative areas and collaborates with fiscal and compliance teams to support program implementation, monitor sub-recipient progress and expenditures, ensure adherence to federal and State requirements, and address operational risks and issues.

Given the complexity of the RHTP program and the scale of the federal investment in Arizona's rural health system, this role is essential to maintaining operational continuity and ensuring sub-recipient compliance across multiple programmatic streams. The Program Area Manager is expected to escalate risks or performance gaps to leadership for timely resolution and to participate in periodic site visits to rural Arizona counties to verify program implementation and provide technical assistance to sub-recipients and partners.

The position is grant funded and may be eliminated based on the availability of funding. Arizona's Rural Health Transformation Program is supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a part of a financial assistance award totaling $166,998,955.92 with 100 percent funded by CMS/HHS.
