Strategic Medicaid Proposal Writers

Company:

Mercer

Description:

At Mercer, we make a difference in the lives of more than 110 million people every day by advancing their health, wealth, and careers. We're in the business of creating exciting and rewarding futures for our clients and their employees - whether we're designing affordable health plans, securing finances for retirement or aligning employees with workforce strategy.

The Strategic Medicaid Proposal Writers will play a critical role in the quality of our RFP responses, amendments to expand scopes of work, and the efficiency of our sales team. These proposal writers will continuously strive to increase their knowledge of GHSC, services offered, and industry best practices to develop thoughtful, strategic, compliant responses to RFPs/RFIs/RFQs. The proposal writers will develop strong work relationships with GHSC's client managers, proposal peers, solution consultants, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to support our business goals to win, expand and retain business.

We will count on you to:

• Work on writing assignments varying in length and detail supporting topics across the entire proposal and amendments to expand scopes of work in current client contracts

• Collaborate with Client Managers, proposal peers, solution consultants, and subject matter experts to outline and prepare final proposal responses, as well as amendments to current contracts to provide additional scopes of work

• Conduct qualitative and quantitative research to help formulate new content focused on client solutions that highlight company differentiation, innovation, and strategies

• Actively participate in kick-off meetings and varying status meetings through the entire proposal process as defined by the proposal timelines

• Develop a proposal response that aligns with internal quality standards, bid guidance and adheres to proposal requirements in a compliant and compelling manner

• Develop a proposal response with consistent brand, style, tone and commonly used Medicaid terms

• Establish client & carrier relationships and develop an understanding of all aspects of the client and carrier

• Liaison with internal staff, operations, marketing, customer service, IT, accounting. Documents and communicates program information to various departments and understands the interdependence between departments.

• Advise Client Executive/Program Manager and/or client/carrier of underwriting and marketing offerings

• Implement marketing plan for the communication of the client's program to its employees, members or owners
