\n About the Role

We're hiring a Manager, Licensing & Credentialing to lead our licensing, credentialing, and payer enrollment function. You'll combine operational leadership and direct ownership of complex, high-priority licensing and credentialing workflows (including the full provider onboarding and offboarding process and license pathway determinations) with day-to-day leadership of our L&C team. You will ensure providers stay licensed and credentialed as we grow into new states and payer relationships. It's behind-the-scenes work, but it supports every patient in its own way: every license kept current and every enrollment completed on time is what lets a patient see their provider without interruption.

The Day-to-Day

Provider Onboarding & Offboarding

• Own the full onboarding sequence end-to-end: execute license pathway determinations, perform compact licensure assessments (IMLC/PSYPACT/NLC/APRN), manage start-date sequencing, transcript/employment verification, and COI tracking.
• Run sanction/exclusion screening at onboarding and set up DEA registration where applicable.
• Own the offboarding and termination process end-to-end: deactivating licenses, payer enrollments, and supervision agreements, notifying payers, and archiving records.

Licensing & Credentialing Operations Support

• Support and oversee multi-state provider licensing applications and renewals (executed by State Licensing leads), maintaining the Master Licensing Sheet and State Coverage Maps to prevent lapses.
• Support and oversee payer enrollment and credentialing across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers (executed by Payer Enrollment leads), including CAQH/Availity management, revalidations, and re-credentialing cycles.
• Monitor APP restrictions, practice authority, and state board notifications to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
• Serve as the go-to escalation point for complex or unusual licensing, credentialing, and billing/care operational questions.

Collaboration Agreements & Credentialing Committee

• Execute and maintain collaboration/supervision agreement tracking and routine drafting, transitioning toward full operational ownership under the Director's coaching.
• Execute Credentialing Committee logistics, managing scheduling, agendas, and documentation while partnering with the Director on committee discussions.
• Support payer contracting, denials, and appeals, coordinating with the Director on escalation pathways.

Team Leadership & Coaching

• Manage and coach the L&C team: workload distribution, regular feedback, performance management, and professional development.
• Set team priorities, process standards, quality checks, and SOP Playbooks for licensing and credentialing work.
• Hold regular 1:1s with your team.
• Partner with the Director of Practice Operations on team capacity, staffing needs, and workflow design as the team grows.

Reporting, Compliance & Process Improvement

• Own regulatory and compliance documentation to keep the organization audit-ready and support internal/external audits.
• Maintain routine tracking and metrics (license status, credentialing turnaround time, expirables, payer rosters) for leadership visibility.
• Spot inefficiencies in L&C workflows and drive continuous improvement by leveraging tracking technology, systems optimization, and automation to accelerate onboarding timelines.
• Lead internal and external operational communications regarding licensing and enrollment status.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of direct, hands-on experience in state provider licensing, credentialing, and payer enrollment/revalidation workflows.
• 2-3+ years of team leadership or people management experience managing a licensing and credentialing team or operational function.
• Solid understanding of the broader U.S. healthcare landscape: payers, regulatory environment, and care delivery models within telehealth.
• Working knowledge of compact licensure pathways (IMLC, PSYPACT, NLC, APRN Compact).
• Strong organizational and documentation skills, with comfort owning ambiguous, detail-heavy processes independently.
• Familiarity with credentialing/licensing tracking software and CAQH/PECOS.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting CMS reimbursement programs or PC-MSO structures.
• CPCS or CPMSM certification, or actively pursuing.
• Background in a multi-market, high-growth, or telehealth healthcare environment.
• Familiarity with leveraging automation or technology integrations to optimize credentialing workflows.
