Full Time
VeraTru
Senior Manager/Supervisor
About Veratru
Veratru serves as a critical financial partner supporting the federal "No Surprises Act." When healthcare providers and insurance companies disagree on payment for out-of-network services, they enter a structured dispute resolution process.
While the arbitration administrators handle the decision-making, Veratru handles the money. We manage the complex flow of administrative and arbitration fees associated with these disputes. We are a technology-forward, process-driven company operating in a high-volume environment where accuracy and agility are paramount.
About the Role
You will lead and scale the operating system for high-volume payment processing, reconciliation, refunds, and exception handling. You will own the transition from manual processes to an increasingly automated, technology-enabled payments operation. You will combine operational leadership with a systems mindset: simplifying workflows, implementing tooling and automation, and building the metrics, controls, and documentation needed for accuracy and audit readiness. As the organization grows, you will hire, coach, and develop a high-performing team and create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

- You will lead automation initiatives that reduce manual work across payment processing, reconciliation, exception handling, and approvals.
- You will partner with Product and Engineering to translate operational needs into clear requirements, prioritization, and successful releases.
