Health and Human Services Senior Consultant

BerryDunn is seeking a Senior Consultant with human services policy, program, and compliance experience to join our State Government Practice Group. This role will serve as a Human Services Policy Lead supporting our Guam client and will work closely with the engagement team to help the client strengthen policy, improve operations, and maintain alignment with federal requirements.

As a Senior Consultant, you will bring strong policy research and analysis skills, sound judgment, and the ability to translate complex requirements into practical, client-ready guidance. You will be comfortable working directly with clients, facilitating conversations with diverse stakeholders, and developing high-quality written deliverables that support decision-making, compliance, and program implementation.

In this role, you will provide human services policy subject matter expertise on BerryDunn projects, with an initial focus on our Guam engagement. You will research and interpret federal laws, regulations, and guidance; assess potential impacts to client programs and operations; draft policy and procedure manuals; support federal waiver requests and policy options; and prepare concise client briefs, decision documents, standard operating procedures, implementation materials, and other deliverables. You will work alongside project managers, business analysts, Medicaid policy experts, and implementation leads to helping clients move from policy direction to practical action.

The ideal candidate will have 6+ years of experience working with or for state, territory, or local government agencies responsible for human services programs, such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Child Support, Child Care, homelessness services, behavioral health, or related programs. State or territory-level human services policy experience is preferred. The right candidate will be client-focused, collaborative, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in complex public sector environments. Experience with public health programs and policies, business development, proposal writing, and staff development is a plus.

This position may be based in one of BerryDunn’s office locations or remote and will report to the HHS Practice Area Lead Principal. This role will collaborate closely with Guam engagement leadership, the Medicaid policy lead, and cross-functional BerryDunn team members supporting Medicaid, public health, human services, systems, data, process improvement, and implementation workstreams.
