About Quantified Ventures and the QV Health and Human Services Group
Quantified Ventures works with pioneering organizations to design, capitalize, and scale investible solutions that improve the wellbeing of people and planet. Through a process of consulting, development, due diligence, and structuring, we build sustainable revenue models and simplify access to impact capital for solutions that drive true social change. Quantified Ventures is a certified B Corporation and operates two complimentary practice areas: Climate Finance and Health and Human Services.

Our Health and Human Services group (HHS group) builds capacity to improve health and wellbeing. We cultivate robust business partnerships between healthcare companies and community-based service organizations (CBOs) to develop and finance solutions - largely directed at health-related social needs - that improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities, and lower costs at scale.

Through partnerships with Medicaid managed care organizations, health systems, governments, and other enterprises that bear financial risk for individuals and populations, we help to identify and finance innovative solutions to better address the health-related needs of the communities they serve. Central to our work is the identification of new partnership opportunities that can expand and sustain the availability of high-impact programs and services, particularly for people and populations with significant unmet need. In these engagements, we assess capacity, estimate resource requirements, and accelerate the transition to value-based payment and impact through innovative financing.

About the Position
The Senior Associate / Associate Director role will support engagements with both our Medicaid and CBO partners. Responsibilities include:

• Client management: Identify and execute on articulated client priorities and build relationship as a trusted advisor, while proactively identifying and addressing client risks
• Project management: Advance multiple stakeholders through our methodology while anticipating and being attentive / responsive to evolving conditions and concerns.
• Feasibility assessment: Conduct assessments to ensure the interest and readiness of engaged parties to participate in alternative program, operations, and payment models that tie some portion of payment to the achievement of mutually agreed upon outcomes (i.e., value-based payment).
• Outcomes measurement: Engage key stakeholders in the dentification and definition of outcome measures tied to payment and/or program financing; includes selection of the most appropriate data, methods, and timing for collection and assessment.
• Financial modeling and outcomes pricing: Develop cost models and budgets required for project success, assignment of pricing for projected outcomes, and projections of outcomes effect sizes and associated impact.
• Prospect development, diligence, and sales growth: Support trend analysis, cultivate existing and new client relationships, and develop opportunities to advance QV services and solutions that build capacity to address health-related social needs.
• Policy analysis: For government-sponsored healthcare work, ensure that program design and financial arrangements are aligned with, and take advantage of, flexibilities afforded with State and Federal policy.
• Value-based contracting: Help to develop, coordinate, and execute innovative contractual relationships (including governing terms, reimbursement rates and structures, reporting, and contract structure) along the value-based care continuum between traditional (e.g., payers, governments, and delivery systems) and non-traditional (e.g., CBO) health care stakeholders.

The work of the Quantified Ventures HHS group is focused on developing investable solutions that improve health and wellbeing, particularly for underserved and high-need populations. A commitment to advancing health equity, strong analytic skills, and clear communication are essential to our work, as is the diversity of our team across race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and physical ability.
