Senior Manager, Benefit Verification & Authorization Operations

Senior Manager, Benefit Verification & Authorization Operations

About the Role

The Senior Manager of BVA will play a critical role in building and scaling BVA into a fully operational, high-performing service. In partnership with leadership, this person will help shape how the business operates and build the processes, structure, and operating model needed to support continued growth.

This is a highly operational role for someone who enjoys building. BVA is continuing to evolve, and this leader will be responsible for taking areas that may be manual, inconsistent, or still developing and creating clear, repeatable ways of working. They will look across the operation to understand what is working, where we are creating unnecessary complexity, and what needs to change to support the next stage of the business.

The Senior Manager will work closely with Managers and Team Leads to ensure the day-to-day operation is performing while also staying focused on longer-term improvements. They will build the systems and expectations that allow leaders to effectively manage performance, quality, capacity, and customer needs.

A significant part of this role will be partnering with our AI Engineering team. The Senior Manager will bring a strong understanding of BVA operations into that partnership—identifying opportunities to automate work, improve workflows, and develop tools that make the team more effective and allow the service to scale.

This person will also help define what a strong BVA customer experience looks like. They will build a consistent approach to onboarding new customers, strengthen ongoing customer partnerships, and ensure what we learn from customers is incorporated into how the service evolves.
