    Partner closely with matrix teams—Claims Operations, Medical Management, Credentialing, Legal, Medical Economics, Compliance, Sales, Marketing, and Service—to ensure smooth operations and contract execution.


    Contribute to the design of alternative network strategies and support the development of analytics needed to evaluate network performance and opportunities.

    Help achieve unit cost targets while preserving a competitive, high‑quality provider network.


    Lead and support initiatives that improve total medical cost and quality outcomes by using data insights to influence provider behavior.

    Use clinical and cost analytics to guide provider partners through constructive change that supports affordability and performance improvement.

    Prepare and analyze financial impact models for complex contract structures and innovative reimbursement terms.

    Develop provider agreements that align with internal requirements and provider expectations, ensuring accurate implementation through matrix partners.

    Resolve escalated provider concerns through thoughtful engagement, root‑cause analysis, and practical solutions.

    Maintain deep knowledge of market dynamics, provider relationships, and competitive positioning to inform strategy and decision‑making.

    Ensure timely and accurate contract loading, submissions, and network maintenance activities.

    Provide guidance to less experienced team members to support learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

    Required Qualifications
    Minimum

    3+ years

    of managed care contracting and negotiation experience within complex delivery systems.

    Experience developing and managing key provider relationships.

    Strong understanding of reimbursement methodologies, including incentive‑based and value‑based models.

    Experience working with hospitals, managed care organizations, and provider business models.

    Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence provider and sales audiences; experience delivering formal presentations.

    Customer‑focused approach with strong interpersonal and relationship‑building skills.

    Ability to navigate change and contribute effectively in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment.

    Strong problem‑solving, decision‑making, negotiation, contract interpretation, and financial analysis skills.

    Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools.

    Preferred Qualifications
    Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Healthcare, Business, or a related field (industry experience may substitute).

    MBA or MHA.

    Experience providing guidance or support to early‑career specialists.

    Background working with network analytics or supporting network design initiatives.
