Duties & Responsibilities

 Operational Leadership

  • Lead day-to-day company operations with direct oversight of Bill Review, Implementations, and Account Management.
  • Ensure operational performance against defined KPIs: turnaround time, accuracy, quality, and cost savings.
  • Manage escalation pathways and foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Growth & Revenue Enablement

  • Partner with the CRO and Sales leadership to advance late-stage deals, RFPs, and renewals.
  • Serve as executive sponsor for top-tier client relationships and escalate support where needed.

  • Champion adoption of technology solutions internally, ensuring teams are trained and able to integrate automation into daily work.
  • Translate business needs into requirements that guide technical teams—demonstrating strong functional understanding of technology without requiring deep coding expertise.

Platform & Systems Operations

  • Provide executive oversight for the claims and bill review platform, ensuring stability, performance, and compliance.
  • Where direct experience in claims/bill review is absent, demonstrate transferable expertise in SaaS or healthcare-tech enabled software platforms—ensuring familiarity with workflows, client integrations, and platform scaling challenges.
  • Partner with Technology and Compliance to ensure platforms meet industry security, privacy, and regulatory standards.

Process Excellence & Scalability

  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives to standardize workflows, eliminate inefficiencies, and improve cost-effectiveness.
  • Implement automation and best practices across operations to ensure scalability as the company grows.
  • Build and manage operational dashboards that provide executive visibility into key performance outcomes.

Executive Leadership

  • Serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, aligning operations with corporate growth strategies.
