You'll focus on designing scalable systems and leveraging automation to optimize workflows, all while maintaining regulatory compliance and enabling Brave Health's rapid growth across markets.
Key Responsibilities

- Cross-Licensing Strategy Execution: Work with Talent and Clinical leaders to identify and drive provider cross-licensing initiatives that align supply with patient demand at the state level.
- Health Plan Enrollment Operations: Manage provider enrollment with Medicaid and commercial payers, ensuring required documentation and timelines are met to avoid delays in billing or care.
- Health Plan Contracting Strategy: Define and implement a contracting strategy, focusing on delegated credentialing, rate negotiations, value-based contracting, and CPT code optimization.
- Delegated Credentialing and Audit Management: Pursue and secure delegated credentialing status, ensure compliance with health plan requirements, and lead audit processes for provider files.
- Operational Excellence & Automation: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in credentialing workflows; implement systems, tools, and automation to increase throughput and provider readiness.
- Internal Collaboration: Partner closely with the Business Operations, Talent Acquisition, and RCM teams to maintain visibility on provider status, hiring pipelines, and licensing requirements.
- Compliance & Quality Assurance: Maintain accurate records and ensure adherence to state, federal, and payer-specific credentialing and background check requirements.
- Data & Reporting: Build dashboards and tracking mechanisms to measure credentialing timelines, licensing volume, enrollment milestones, and provider readiness metrics.
What You Bring
- 5–7 years of experience in healthcare credentialing, licensing, or provider enrollment, preferably in a behavioral health or Medicaid-focused environment.
- Strong knowledge of state-by-state licensing requirements, particularly Medicaid and AHCA (Florida) regulations.
- Demonstrated success managing high-volume operational processes and cross-functional workflows.
- Experience implementing or improving credentialing systems and automation tools.
- Detail-oriented with excellent organizational and project management skills.
- Data-driven mindset; able to track, analyze, and report on performance metrics and process health.
- A proactive and collaborative approach; you thrive in a fast-moving, mission-driven startup.
Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in scaling teams and operations in a high-growth, multi-state care delivery environment.
- Comfort working in a fully remote team environment.
