The Opportunity
We're seeking an enthusiastic and process-driven Payer Operations Lead to own the most complex and high-stakes payer enrollments, build the documented processes our function runs on, and serve as the quality and coaching anchor for our enrollment team. As we expand in-network access across the country, this role directly owns the speed and accuracy of payer expansion — the difference between providers who can see members on day one and applications that stall.
You will be responsible for documenting processes across our workflows, relentless follow-up with payers to unblock the team, and oversight and coaching of enrollment functions.
Location: Remote (US)
Your Impact
Build, document, and maintain end-to-end SOPs for payer contracting, enrollment, and credentialing workflows — turning tribal knowledge into repeatable, auditable process
Design quality controls and error-catching checkpoints that reduce rework and rejected applications
Identify bottlenecks in the expansion pipeline and drive cycle-time improvements
Keep enrollment and contracting trackers meticulously up to date, flag aging items and delays, and escalate blockers with proposed solutions
Conduct persistent, proactive follow-up with payers via phone, email, and payer portals to confirm application receipt, resolve deficiencies, and push applications through to approval. You own each item until it's done
Prepare, submit, and track payer contract applications for new health plan partnerships and new service lines, ensuring submissions are complete, accurate, and on time
Serve as a quality and productivity coach for offshore enrollment team members: set standards, review work, give feedback, and build the playbooks they execute against
Assist Sr. Manager with onboarding and ramping offshore contributors on payer processes and tools
Partner with RCM and payer strategy/business development teams in collaborative problem-solving or strategic payer initiatives.
Required Qualifications
2-3 years of experience in provider enrollment, credentialing, payer contracting, or healthcare administration (internship or adjacent revenue cycle experience considered)
Demonstrated experience building or documenting processes and SOPs
Experience coaching, training, or quality-reviewing others' work (formal management not required)
Comfort owning metrics and reporting on pipeline throughput
Highly independent and driven. You follow up relentlessly (including comfort calling and escalating within payer networks), manage your own queue without reminders, and don't let applications sit
Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills; you take pride in accurate, deadline-driven work
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience with payer portals and third party portals i.e. Availity
Familiarity with commercial payer requirements (Understanding Medicare and Medicaid processes is a plus)
Experience in multi-state telehealth, digital health, or a high-growth healthcare environment
Exposure to credentialing standards (e.g., NCQA, CMS)
