Aetna Clinical Enablement (ACE) has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Informatics Manager to join our HEDIS Data Enablement Team. The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is one of the most widely used healthcare quality data sets in the country. HEDIS reporting is a requirement for NCQA Health Plan Accreditation, CMS Medicare Advantage, Medicare Stars, Exchange, Medicaid, and many states.

In this role, the Senior Informatics Manager will function as the central business liaison for the HEDIS Medicaid Business Unit, partnering with cross-functional teams to execute high-impact quality and regulatory initiatives. The role requires translating Medicaid business requirements into structured project plans, facilitating stakeholder alignment, and ensuring adherence to NCQA HEDIS technical specifications and state-level compliance standards.
