RHTP Intermediate Project Manager – Rural Community Feedback, Data & Accountability
General Statement of Duties
At a high level of expertise, undertake complex professional assignments involving community feedback analysis, qualitative and quantitative data synthesis, public reporting, program evaluation, stakeholder engagement, and accountability for Rhode Island’s Rural Health Transformation Program.
This position will support EOHHS in ensuring that on-the-ground information gathered through RHTP Networks, Regional Hubs, advisory bodies, public engagement activities, and partner organizations is systematically received, organized, analyzed, elevated, and used to inform implementation.
This role will not replace the work of the Networks. The Networks will be gathering local information related to different RHTP projects, community needs, service gaps, barriers, and implementation concerns. This position will create the structure to receive that information, identify cross-cutting themes, and determine where additional assessment is needed because feedback may not be gathered evenly across all projects, regions, or populations.
Supervision
Works under the direction of the Executive Director of Engagement and Community
Partnerships and/or other senior EOHHS leadership, with considerable latitude for independent judgment, initiative, and analytic leadership.
Scope of Work
Responsibilities include:
Develop systems to receive on-the-ground information from RHTP Networks and other community engagement structures.
Work with Networks to understand what information they are gathering across different RHTP projects.
Create common templates, tools, and reporting processes so Network-generated feedback can be elevated consistently.
Analyze information across regions, populations, sectors, and project areas.
Identify common themes, emerging issues, service gaps, implementation barriers, and promising practices.
Distinguish between project-specific feedback, regional trends, and statewide system issues.
Identify where feedback is incomplete, uneven, or not being gathered across certain projects or populations.
Recommend supplemental strategies to assess gaps when Network information is limited.
Develop “What We Heard” summaries for leadership, RSAC, implementation teams, public updates, and CMS-related reporting.
Track how community feedback is routed, considered, acted on, or held for future planning.
Support public-facing data products, dashboards, story maps, scorecards, and engagement reports.
Coordinate with evaluation, GIS, communications, and data partners.
Prepare executive briefings, presentations, charts, dashboards, and plain-language summaries.
Required Qualifications
The ideal candidate should have:
Experience with community engagement, public health, health equity, rural health, human services, evaluation, or public-sector implementation.
Strong qualitative and quantitative analysis skills.
Ability to synthesize meeting notes, listening session feedback, surveys, partner reports, transcripts, and implementation data.
Experience developing trackers, dashboards, reports, summaries, or public-facing accountability tools.
Ability to identify patterns, gaps, and actionable findings from complex information.
Strong writing, facilitation, presentation, and research skills.
Familiarity with Results-Based Accountability, public dashboards, GIS/story maps, Medicaid, rural health, or health transformation preferred.
Simple Summary
