FRAUD PREVENTION MANAGER

PROGRAM MANAGER IV

Recruitment #25-005479-0004

Introduction

Maryland’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program makes sure all workers in Maryland have paid time off for medical and family reasons. FAMLI is a social insurance system covering 2.6 million workers and 180,000 employers, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service. We’re in the middle of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department. We know that delivering services primarily through a website, over the Internet, is a new way of doing business in government, and “business as usual” is not in our vocabulary. The FAMLI Division is seeking a Fraud Prevention Manager to build and oversee the FAMLI program’s fraud prevention strategy and team. As state benefit programs across the country are increasingly targeted by sophisticated, international criminal elements, FAMLI’s Fraud Prevention team will be on the front lines of protecting this critical program’s financial health and sustainability. We need a leader grounded in best practices from across the public and private sectors who is up for the challenge of designing an innovative and effective fraud prevention operation from the ground up. If you’re passionate about making a meaningful impact and are eager to join a government team that moves at the speed of a startup, this may be the career-defining job you’ve been looking for!

This is a Management Service position that serves at the pleasure of the Appointing Authority.
