The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is one of the largest, most complex agencies in the state, and has approximately 17,000 employees. It is responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of all North Carolinians, providing human service needs for special populations including individuals who are deaf, blind, developmentally disabled, and mentally ill, and helping poor North Carolinians achieve economic independence.

The primary purpose of this position is to support for the Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) initiative under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). RHTP is a five-year federal grant awarded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes in rural communities.

The RHTP OTP Lead position is funded under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and provides statewide leadership, consultation, and implementation support to expand Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) access across rural North Carolina. This includes supporting Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) in partnering with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Community Health Centers, and rural provider networks to extend access to OTP services throughout the state.

This role is central to implementing RHTP supported MOUD initiatives, with responsibilities that include system planning, provider technical assistance, regulatory coordination, and support for rural MOUD access expansion, including satellite OTP units and mobile services. The position partners with internal teams, providers, LME/MCOs, and other stakeholders to support program implementation, ensure alignment with state and federal requirements, and promote high-quality, accessible OTP services. The role is responsible for monitoring program performance, building stakeholder buy-in, identifying implementation challenges, supporting solution development, and contributing to the overall success and sustainability of OTPs within the broader healthcare continuum.

Candidates now meet the minimum qualifications of a position if they have the minimum education and experience listed on the vacancy announcement.

The following Management Preferences are not required, but applicants that possess these skills are preferred.

• Knowledge of OTP operations, MOUD service delivery and regulations, and FQHC/CHC clinical models.

• Understanding of state and federal MOUD regulations including SAMHSA and DEA requirements.

• Ability to evaluate data, identify gaps, and develop actionable improvements.

• Strong communication, relationship building, and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Ability to manage multiple projects independently in a fast paced environment.

• Ability to work both independently and as part of a cross-functional team
