Summary:

In this role you will lead a high-impact Credentialing Operations unit dedicated to accelerating clinician "speed-to-market." This role moves beyond administrative oversight to drive the strategic evolution of credentialing workflows, ensuring the department serves as a proactive partner in meeting organizational growth targets and resolving complex, high-stakes provider barriers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Roadmapping: Formulates and implements a forward-looking strategy for the Credentialing Operations unit, transforming the department from a transactional function into a strategic lever that directly supports national clinician deployment goals.

• Escalation Management: Serves as the final point of resolution for complex, high-priority credentialing issues; counsels internal leadership and external stakeholders on critical business reviews and high-stakes credentialing bottlenecks.

• Performance Engineering: Analyzes the efficacy of credentialing programs, utilizing business intelligence to move beyond standard goal-tracking toward identifying systemic opportunities for process acceleration.

• Audit & Risk Mitigation: Drives a sophisticated audit and rebuttal framework; reviews results for accuracy while providing executive-level guidance on findings with significant business or legal implications.

• Cross-Functional Advocacy: Acts as the primary operational liaison to Network Management, Provider Relations, and Tech teams, ensuring that credentialing barriers are proactively addressed through cross-functional initiatives and shared accountability.

• Workflow Evolution: Sets the direction for continuous process evolution, ensuring that credentialing methods are agile enough to support shifting organizational objectives and diverse clinician types (e.g., National Travelers).

• Strategic Workforce Planning: Manages all operational facets of the team—including budget, performance metrics, and compliance—while architecting workforce and succession plans to ensure long-term departmental resilience.

• Compliance Leadership: Ensures all credentialing strategies maintain strict alignment with regulatory standards while minimizing friction in the clinician onboarding experience.

Basic Qualifications:

• A Bachelor's degree is preferred (Healthcare Administration, Health Information Management, Public Health, Health Services, Business Administration, or related fields). Specialized training or relevant professional experience will also be considered

• 5+ years of leadership experience in a high-volume credentialing or medical staff services environment

• Mastery of Strategic Problem Solving: Exceptional ability to navigate "gray areas" and make high-consequence decisions under pressure

• Adept at Business Intelligence: Skilled at using data to forecast "time-to-credential" and identify long-poles in the onboarding funnel

• Growth Mindset & Agility: Proven track record of developing talent and evolving organizational structures to meet the demands of a high-growth healthcare environment

• Executive Presence: Professional demeanor capable of influencing senior leadership and resolving sensitive provider issues with diplomacy and authority
