This is a hands-on role with approximately 80% of time dedicated to direct account ownership and execution and 20% to people leadership.

• Track risk adjustment and quality program outcomes, solution adoption, financial impact, and account health; translate performance data into actionable client recommendations.
• Own improvement plans for Net Promoter Score (NPS) and client satisfaction, addressing feedback and strengthening the overall client experience.
• SaaS Delivery and Cross Functional Execution
• Partner with Product, Engineering, IT, Clinical, and Operations to align implementation, ongoing delivery, and product capabilities with client workflows and business needs.
• Translate client issues and requests into clear business requirements. Coordinate ticket triage and prioritization based on client impact, urgency, and delivery dependencies; track progress and communicate status through resolution.
• Own client delivery commitments, ensuring each is documented with a named owner and target date. Manage changes through established change control and proactively escalate risks to agreed timelines.
• Personally advance deliverables and resolve barriers across teams, including work needed to keep client commitments on track. Maintain awareness of payer requirements, regulatory submission processes, and operational workflows.
• People Leadership
• Lead and develop one Customer Success Manager, setting clear responsibilities, performance expectations, and operating rhythms while retaining direct ownership of the account. Contribute to shared customer success and engagement practices.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in healthcare, healthcare technology, or healthcare consulting, including significant client-facing leadership experience.
• Demonstrated director-level scope and accountability for complex healthcare accounts, including independent ownership of account strategy, executive relationships, commercial outcomes, and day-to-day execution.
• Deep kowledge of risk adjustment and quality programs, including relevant frameworks such as CMS-HCC, HHS-ACA, HEDIS, Stars, and MSSP/ACO, and the relationships and workflows between health plans and provider organizations.
• Experience serving clients in healthcare SaaS or meaningful product and IT experience or exposure, including collaboration with technical teams on client issues, work prioritization, and delivery.
• Proven ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments, engage credibly with executive and C-suite leaders, and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Demonstrated success driving account revenue, retention, expansion, and client satisfaction, with the ability to connect solution performance to business value.
• Strong analytical, consultative, communication, and executive presentation skills, including the ability to turn data into clear recommendations and compelling PowerPoint presentations.

• Performance is measured against established account goals, including revenue attainment, expansion and upsell results, and Net Promoter Score (NPS) and client satisfaction. These measures inform the role’s incentive compensation plan. The Director also monitors retention, solution adoption, delivery commitments, and client outcomes to guide account strategy and corrective action.
