What are the responsibilities and job description for the Revenue Cycle and Health Information Manager position at Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences?
We’re looking for a highly accountable, hands-on Revenue Cycle & Health Information Manager who’s ready to take full ownership of both the financial and health information performance of our growing multi-specialty clinic. This isn’t a “keep things running” role—this is a build, fix, and elevate opportunity.
In this role, you’ll step in as a strategic operator, diving deep into our current revenue cycle to uncover gaps, identify root causes of revenue leakage, and implement systems that deliver measurable improvement. You’ll have the autonomy and responsibility to redesign workflows, strengthen processes, and drive meaningful gains in cash flow, accounts receivable, and collections.
We need someone who combines analytical rigor with operational grit—a leader who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, hold teams accountable, and create transparent reporting that gives leadership real-time insight into performance.
If you’re energized by solving complex problems, building structure where it’s needed, and making a direct, visible impact on organizational success—we want to talk to you.
What You’ll Do
For this position, we anticipate a starting salary in the range of $85,000 - $90,000. However, the final offered salary will be commensurate with the qualifications and experiences of the selected candidate.
Our employees are what make DMU special, so we treat them well! Our Total Rewards reflect this commitment. Qualified faculty and staff enjoy a generous employer contribution toward the medical plan, 10% retirement match, flexible work arrangements, community service time, tuition assistance, professional development funding and access to wellness facilities with programs that promote a well-balanced lifestyle.
