Our mission: eliminating every barrier to mental health.

Spring Health is a global mental health company on a mission to eliminate every barrier to mental health. We're building a world where getting support is simple, personal, and built around the person, so care can continue through every job, move, health plan, and life stage.

As an Operations Manager on our revenue cycle management team (RCM), you will use data-driven insights to drive strategic change, partnering closely with Operations leadership to eliminate workflow bottlenecks, improve efficiencies, and support our providers with a best-in-class experience.

• 2-4 years of people management experience, managing teams comprised of non-exempt and exempt direct reports.

• Highly resourceful and efficient at data-driven decision-making, operational process design, improvements, and execution.

• AI-forward: Has experience leveraging AI to drive speed to results.

• Relentlessly organized with meticulous attention to detail and exceptional project management skills; ability to balance attention to detail with swift execution.

• A flexible team player who can roll up their sleeves to support the team creatively and scrappily while managing other projects through ruthless prioritization.

• Exceptional communication skills and a customer-centric attitude. Able to translate and communicate accurately and effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.
