• Testing, Cutover & Stabilization: Lead preparations for system testing, defect triage, mock conversions, go-live cutover, and post-implementation stabilization while validating contingency and readiness plans.
• Risk & Change Management: Proactively identify execution risks, workflow gaps, and dependency issues to safeguard project timelines, claims accuracy, and stakeholder confidence.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Health Administration, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Experience: Minimum 6 years of related experience within a health plan, managed care, or healthcare organization.
• Core Platform Expertise: Hands-on experience with QNXT (or a directly comparable core administrative platform) is required.
• Domain Knowledge: Deep expertise in healthcare payer claims operations and the end-to-end claims lifecycle (adjudication, pricing, payment, and provider/benefit configuration interactions).
