• Proven track record managing high‑volume, regulated operations requiring precision, compliance, and customer service (e.g., healthcare services, fund finance, receivables sector).
• Deep understanding of healthcare provider networks, medical‑lien models, or personal injury funding contexts is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated success building and scaling teams, optimizing workflows, and implementing automation or data‑driven decision systems.
• Strong analytical, strategic, and execution skills: able to set metric‑driven goals, oversee complex processes, and hold teams accountable.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills: ability to negotiate contracts and build relationships with providers, attorneys, and stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, growth‑oriented environment where processes evolve rapidly.
