Welcome Kits are a new member's first communication from Molina; Provider Directories must reflect current, approved provider data and satisfy CMS and state filing requirements on an annual and ongoing basis.
This is a high-accountability, execution-focused role that sits at the intersection of regulatory compliance, market coordination, and operational delivery. The Manager works closely with Regional Mandated Materials Managers, Government Contracts, D-SNP Market Leaders, Provider Data Management, and the Online Materials Library (OML) team to ensure materials are market-accurate, SMAC-compliant, and delivered on schedule across multiple markets simultaneously.
