  • Support provider, contract, fee schedule, rate, claims, payment, finance, enrollment, outreach, and related application configurations. 
  • Work with Claims, Finance, Contracting, Enrollment, Outreach, Operations, vendors, and IT partners to understand business processes, policies, contracts, rules, data requirements, and control needs. 
  • Translate approved business requirements into maintainable system configurations, workflows, mappings, interfaces, validation rules, and technical specifications. 
  • Identify incomplete or ambiguous requests and help establish structured intake, validation, approval, testing, implementation, and audit processes. 
  • Conduct root-cause analysis to determine whether recurring incidents arise from process, data, configuration, integration, training, or system-design issues. 
  • Define and maintain application reference data, effective dates, versioning, configuration records, business rules, and system mappings with appropriate traceability. 
  • Use SQL and other analytical tools to validate data, reconcile results, investigate issues, and confirm expected business and financial outcomes. 
  • Support APIs, file interfaces, ETL processes, batch jobs, scheduled processing, and light automation across enterprise applications. 
  • Develop test scenarios and support system testing, regression testing, user acceptance testing, deployment, post-production validation, and stabilization. 
  • Coordinate application incidents, vendor escalations, cross-system dependencies, production changes, and communication with affected business teams. 
  • Create and maintain system documentation, configuration records, process maps, runbooks, support procedures, and knowledge-transfer materials. 
  • Identify opportunities to reduce repetitive manual work, recurring tickets, rework, and dependence on individual staff members or vendors. 
  • Support application implementations, upgrades, migrations, integration changes, and business process transformation initiatives. 

 

 

QUALIFICATIONS:

 

  • Strong SQL skills for data validation, reconciliation, troubleshooting, and production support. 
  • Working knowledge of APIs, file-based integrations, ETL processes, batch jobs, and system-to-system data exchanges. 
  • Experience with one or more enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, Conga, EZCap, claims systems, finance systems, contract-management systems, CRM platforms, or comparable applications. 
  • Understanding of configuration governance, effective dating, version control, auditability, data quality, security, and operational controls. 
  • Ability to analyze end-to-end business processes and determine whether an issue should be addressed through support, configuration, workflow redesign, integration, data correction, or user training. 
  • Basic scripting or automation capability using Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, or comparable tools. 
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, Healthcare Administration, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and professional experience. 
  • Five or more years of experience in business systems engineering, enterprise application support, systems analysis, application administration, or a closely related role. 
  • Demonstrated experience supporting complex enterprise applications and resolving issues involving configuration, workflows, data mappings, permissions, interfaces, and business rules. 
  • Experience gathering requirements, documenting processes, developing test plans, supporting UAT, and coordinating production deployments. 
  • Experience working directly with business stakeholders, vendors, technical teams, and third-party service providers. 

 

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

 

  • Experience in healthcare, managed care, PACE, claims, provider contracting, finance, enrollment, outreach, or other regulated operational environments. 
  • Experience supporting HIPAA-regulated data, audit requests, compliance controls, and production change-management processes. 
  • Experience improving cross-department workflows or replacing manual, email-, spreadsheet-, or ticket-driven processes with standardized system workflows.
