  • Develop, coach, and mentor leaders while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and engagement.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and implement strategies that improve efficiency, quality, and service outcomes.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives that support organizational growth and scalability.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to resolve complex operational challenges and maintain high levels of client satisfaction.
  • Assist with workforce planning, budgeting, resource allocation, and operational forecasting.
  • Support implementation of new programs, technologies, and organizational initiatives.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, client requirements, and applicable regulatory standards.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Management, Insurance, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
  • 7+ years of progressive leadership experience in operations, service delivery, insurance, healthcare administration, employee benefits, claims administration, or a related industry.
  • Demonstrated success leading leaders and managing multiple teams.
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to analyze performance metrics and drive meaningful improvements.
  • Proven ability to build relationships, influence stakeholders, and lead organizational change.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Track record of developing high-performing teams and delivering business results.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience within employee benefits administration, healthcare, insurance, claims administration, or a third-party administrator (TPA) environment.
  • Experience leading enterprise or large-scale operational improvement initiatives.
  • Lean, Six Sigma, or other operational excellence certifications.

Why SISCO?

At SISCO, we are focused on delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions for our clients and partners. We believe our people are our greatest asset and are committed to creating an environment where leaders can make an impact, drive change, and help others succeed.

As our Operations Leader, you will:

  • Partner with senior leadership on high-impact business initiatives.
  • Lead talented teams and develop future leaders.
  • Drive operational improvements that create meaningful results.
