About the Role:
Machinify is seeking a Vice President of Government Business Development to lead growth across both federal and state government markets. This is a foundational leadership role within our Government Development function, reporting to the General Counsel and sitting at the intersection of policy, procurement, and commercial strategy.
This individual will own end-to-end business development across federal agencies (CMS, VA, HHS, HHS/OIG) and state Medicaid programs — driving net-new contract wins, expanding existing relationships, displacing incumbents in competitive RFP environments, and building the teaming and partnership infrastructure required to compete on large government procurements.
Success in this role requires deep credibility with government buyers, mastery of federal and state procurement processes, and the judgment to navigate complex, politically nuanced sales cycles. This is a strategic leadership position requiring someone who wins government business through policy influence, relationship depth, and procurement expertise as much as through traditional sales execution.
What You Will Own:
Federal Business Development
Own the federal go-to-market strategy across CMS, VA, HHS, and adjacent agencies, in coordination with retained federal government affairs firm.
Identify and pursue net-new federal contract opportunities through proactive outreach, RFI/RFP responses, and strategic positioning with program offices and contracting officers
Lead end-to-end federal sales cycles including opportunity shaping, early-stage influence, RFP strategy, response leadership, and contract negotiations
Maintain awareness of federal procurement vehicles (GSA Schedule, GWACs, BPAs, CMS-specific vehicles such as SPARC) and position Machinify to compete on the right vehicles at the right time
Monitor federal legislative, regulatory, and policy developments affecting payment integrity and program integrity and translate intelligence into actionable GTM strategy
State and SLED Business Development
Own the state and local go-to-market strategy across Medicaid RAC programs, state program integrity offices, and SLED procurement environments, in coordination with our retained state government affairs firm
Build and manage a state-level pipeline targeting both greenfield Medicaid RAC opportunities (states with no existing RAC program) and competitive displacement opportunities (states heading toward RFP where incumbent contractors are vulnerable)
Build senior relationships with State Medicaid Directors, Program Integrity leadership, and state procurement, legal, and budget stakeholders
Track state RFP calendars, incumbent contract expiration dates, and legislative developments affecting state Medicaid program integrity
Strategic Partnerships and Teaming
Identify, cultivate, and manage relationships with federal prime contractors and systems integrators to pursue joint opportunities and teaming arrangements
Negotiate teaming agreements, subcontracting arrangements, and partnership terms that position Machinify competitively on large procurements
Maintain awareness of prime contractor capture activities and position Machinify as a preferred subcontractor or partner
Represent Machinify in partner ecosystems,
