This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong analytical and problem-solving skills interested in building a career in healthcare technology, project management, and public administration spaces. It entails understanding and improving both processes and technology; understanding the impact technological and process change has on business users; applying this understanding to deliver better services to business users, providers, and the public; and keeping current on developing technology and security issues at the state and federal levels. The successful candidate will be able to coordinate and synthesize the needs of the state, federal government, providers, and Medicaid members and communicate these to a range of technology companies in order to continue to enhance the functions of the Wyoming Medicaid program.

This position will work directly with a team dedicated to this project and will report to the Project Management Office Contracts and Planning Manager.
The Project Analyst will perform specialized program support for the Wyoming Integrated Next Generation System (WINGS), encompassing project management office operational activities and project-specific business analyst and support activities. These activities include request for proposal and requirement development; project management and support; module certification; software user acceptance test creation and execution; writing, research, and communication activities; process analysis; document management; financial management and support; and coordination and administrative duties.
The Project Analyst must be able to test new software and changes to existing software to ensure accuracy of output. The Project Analyst must also be able to effectively plan and facilitate meetings, take accurate notes, document decisions and action items during project meetings, and ensure appropriate follow-up.
