Implementation Lead

Pivotal Health•New York, NY

1d•$160,000 - $185,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement landscape. Today, many providers face persistent underpayment from health insurance companies, despite delivering high-quality care. While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools. Pivotal Health combines software, data, and service into a seamlessly integrated, AI-driven platform that simplifies these complex reimbursement workflows. We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams. Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point. We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey. As Pivotal’s first dedicated Implementation Lead, you’ll have the unique opportunity to build and shape a critical function from the ground up. You’ll own the client implementation experience end-to-end, partnering closely with customers, executive stakeholders, Product, and Engineering to design scalable onboarding processes that drive successful launches, long-term client success, and operational excellence as the company grows. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments, enjoys operating with high autonomy and visibility, and wants the opportunity to truly shape how a business scales. We’re looking for someone who brings both strategic thinking and hands-on execution, can confidently navigate client conversations, push back thoughtfully when needed, and leverage systems, data, and automation to build smarter processes. As the company grows, this role offers significant ownership, direct influence on company strategy, and a clear path into leadership and people management.
