About The Position

At Zotec Partners, we are seeking a Director, AR Strategy, Analytics & Operations to join our team. This is a remote position. In this hands-on leadership role, you will turn complex accounts receivable questions into data-backed operational action.

This role blends analytics, healthcare revenue cycle operations, project execution, and client communication. It may initially have limited or no direct reports, so success requires strong independent ownership and the ability to influence outcomes across teams.

Working proficiency in SQL, with the ability to independently access and query data, is strongly preferred.
Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to tailor complex findings for frontline teams, technical partners, clients, and executives.

Ability to influence without relying on formal authority and to coordinate work across departments.
Strong project execution skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
Comfort challenging assumptions when the available evidence points in a different direction.
