Position Introduction:

Are you an experienced case management professional who is passionate about improving lives through compassionate care, collaborative leadership, and high-quality service delivery? If you're looking for an opportunity to expand your impact beyond an individual caseload while continuing to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those you serve, we invite you to join our team as a Lead Case Manager. This position offers the unique opportunity to blend clinical expertise with leadership responsibilities while supporting a dynamic and mission-driven case management program.

As a Lead Case Manager, you'll serve as a trusted resource for both consumers and fellow Case Managers, helping ensure exceptional care coordination, operational support, program productivity, and regulatory compliance. Your leadership will help foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement while supporting the delivery of person-centered services that improve health outcomes and quality of life. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team, you'll help guide complex case management services throughout the continuum of care while mentoring and supporting fellow Case Managers in their professional development. Your expertise will help strengthen clinical decision-making, promote best practices, and ensure consistency in service delivery. Whether providing guidance on challenging cases, assisting with program initiatives, or serving as a liaison with community partners, you'll play an integral role in maintaining a high-performing and consumer-focused program.

This role extends beyond direct service delivery by providing meaningful opportunities to influence program operations and quality. You'll contribute to continuous quality improvement efforts, help ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, and support initiatives that strengthen workflows, documentation standards, and service delivery processes. Your ability to balance clinical excellence with operational oversight will help maintain program effectiveness while ensuring services consistently meet contractual, regulatory, and organizational expectations. We're seeking a leader who enjoys mentoring others and creating an environment where team members can thrive. You'll have the opportunity to provide guidance, share knowledge, and support staff development while helping maintain productivity and fostering a positive, collaborative workplace. Your leadership will directly contribute to building a knowledgeable, engaged team committed to delivering outstanding case management services. The ideal candidate is a compassionate healthcare professional with exceptional organizational, communication, and critical thinking skills who enjoys solving complex problems and driving positive change.

A master's degree in Health, Human Services, Social Work, Nursing, Public Health, Counseling, or a related field is strongly preferred, along with additional training or coursework in case management, quality improvement, regulatory compliance, or leadership. Candidates who bring experience in quality assurance, compliance monitoring, service plan review, staff mentoring, or lead-level case management responsibilities will be well positioned for success in this role. Experience working within 1915(c) Medicaid Waiver Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs is highly valued, as is a strong understanding of person-centered planning, regulatory standards, and coordinated service delivery. We are looking for someone who is passionate about improving systems while never losing sight of the individuals and families we serve. If you're ready to take the next step in your career while continuing to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you. Join an organization that values innovation, teamwork, professional growth, and service excellence. Here, you'll have the opportunity to influence program success, mentor future leaders, and help shape the delivery of high-quality case management services that strengthen individuals, families, and communities across Oklahoma.
