About Graici

By bringing together an individual’s healthcare, social, employment, education, and financial information in a consent-based source of truth, Graici helps reduce administrative burden and make complex systems easier to navigate. The platform supports individuals and organizations across healthcare, public benefits, education, government, and commercial settings.

Graici’s work includes Medicaid renewals, benefits enrollment, care navigation, and other processes that help people access the services and resources they need.

The Role

Graici is seeking a Benefits Specialist to provide direct support for individuals navigating Medicaid, Medicare, and related public-benefit processes.

The primary focus of this role is Ohio Medicaid applications, renewals, redeterminations, documentation, notices, submissions, and agency follow-up. The role may also support Medicare and other social-benefit programs.

The Benefits Specialist will help move cases forward, communicate with county and state agencies, track documentation and deadlines, identify risks, and support accurate and timely completion of applications and renewals. Where appropriate and permitted, this role may perform Authorized Representative responsibilities on behalf of Graici.

This role may support both direct-to-consumer cases and partner-based benefits workflows. It focuses on direct benefits work and case progression. Client implementation, partner account management, workflow measurement, time studies, and operational savings analysis are owned by the Client Success team.

The Benefits Specialist sits within Customer Success, reports to the Director of Customer Success, and works closely with Client Success, Product, Operations, and partner teams.
