• Comfort working in a compliance-heavy environment
• High school diploma required

Nice To Haves

• Home health or healthcare services experience strongly preferred
• Medicaid or VA services experience is a plus
• associate's or bachelor's degree in business, healthcare administration, or related field preferred

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day operational decision-making across departments, escalating only what genuinely requires leadership involvement
• Supervise and support the VA and Medicaid teams' daily workflow as their first point of contact
• Manage payroll processing and administration, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with all applicable regulations
• Oversee credentialing, DSW training compliance, and COPC review processes
• Partner with leadership on SOP completion and ensure procedures are followed consistently across departments
• Monitor team capacity and workload distribution, flagging risk before it becomes a retention issue
• Support performance management processes, including documentation and accountability follow-through
• Serve as a stabilizing, visible leadership presence for the team
