This position will also assist with implementation of perinatal telehealth projects which are competitively bid by the State. This position provides programmatic oversight for grants focused on expanding access to care in rural areas of the state and improving perinatal outcomes through investments in workforce and training of first responders and emergency staff in non-delivering hospitals.

Job Responsibilities:
• Provide programmatic oversight and technical assistance to the five Regional Perinatal Centres on their implementation of the work funded by the Rural Health Transformation Fund
• Monitor grantee performance, milestones, and outcome measures to ensure alignment with Rural Health Transformation goals, including improved access in rural communities and strengthened rural perinatal systems
• Review and approve grantee work plans, progress reports, and performance data; identify trends and recommend system improvements
• Provide technical assistance to grantees related to program implementation, sustainability, and performance measurement
• Collaborate with internal client and TennCare partners, including fiscal, contracts, administration, epidemiology, and legal teams, to ensure compliance with federal and state grant requirements
• Participate in site visits, learning collaborative, and cross-program coordination activities as needed
• Contribute to evaluation, reporting, and continuous quality improvement efforts for the perinatal centres’ funding under the RHTF - **Only those lawfully authorized to work in the designated country associated with the position will be considered.**
