Senior Manager, Process Engineering
About The Position
At R1, we’re transforming how healthcare works by combining nearly two decades of revenue cycle expertise with advanced technology, including analytics, AI, intelligent automation and workflow orchestration. We pair that technology with the irreplaceable expertise of our people to help hospitals, health systems and medical groups improve financial performance, simplify administrative complexity and create better experiences for patients and providers. All Together Better defines our culture and the way we work. We’re a diverse, global team united by a shared mission to make healthcare work better for all. Across technology, operations and support functions, our people bring deep expertise, empathy and ingenuity to the work we do. Here, collaboration fuels progress, adaptability sparks innovation and every voice can help shape what’s next for R1 and the future of healthcare. As our Senior Manager of Process Engineering, you will own the design, documentation, and optimization of healthcare revenue cycle workflows across payer–provider systems. This role sits at the intersection of operations, product, and engineering. The ideal candidate is deeply fluent in healthcare claims lifecycle processes and can independently translate complex operational workflows into clear, testable requirements that engineering teams can build from. This is not a reporting or data analyst role. This is a workflow ownership and product translation role. To thrive in this role, you will think in systems (not reports), challenges assumptions thoughtfully, and understands healthcare deeply enough to ask the right second-order questions.
