This role will be helping to maintain technical product coverage for Behavioral Health Utilization Management (BH UM) initiatives supporting payer and government channels. The role supports product development and client implementations, data residency requirements, and government program controls.

• Serve as the primary onshore coordination point between engineering, implementation, clinical, and business stakeholders
• Enable timely client implementations and production support by addressing dependencies that offshore teams cannot access or resolve
• Reduce delivery risk, compliance exposure, and execution delays associated with regulated BH programs

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear directions on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
