Job Description

As a Specialist on the Clinical Strategy & Integrity Team, you will play an active role in our ability to sustain excellent clinical quality and contract compliance through our next phase of hypergrowth as we support in-network mental healthcare.

What you’ll do:

• Lead complex customer interactions and serve as a liaison between Alma providers and all Alma teams that encounter cases of fraud and misconduct by preparing escalation documents and executing various cross-functional workflows.
• Assist the Clinical Strategy & Integrity Team more broadly, in terms of provider education around Alma policies, procedures and tools, clients’ continuity of care, etc.
• Be a subject matter expert on all Alma’s products, services, and the broader organization to ensure compliance in the areas of credentialing, clinical decision-making, billing, membership and client experience.
• Surface trends and insights from the escalations you manage to ultimately bolster and sustain clinical quality throughout the organization and identify opportunities for improvement in operations and strategic initiatives. 
• Maintain open communication channels with payers, specifically payer-affiliated care coordinators and risk managers.
• Keep the Clinical Strategy & Integrity team informed of more serious escalations by owning process documentation and keeping all documents up to date.  
• Work closely with cross-functional partners on projects, processes, and launches (e.g. expansion, product features) that have implications for Alma Integrity Standards. 
• Manage and improve our internal systems (e.g. Zendesk, Asana) and collaborate cross-functionally to improve how we work across teams.

Who you are:

• You have 2-3 years working in a customer experience, operations, strategy, or compliance-related role.
• You have been at Alma for 9+ months and are in good standing in your role. 
• You are comfortable working with computer systems including Google Suite; experience with CRM and PM project management tools like Zendesk and Asana a huge plus.
• You are able to break down complex and escalated communications into clear next steps for both cross-functional partners, providers, and internal stakeholders.
• You are a creative thinker and problem solver— you’re constantly exploring how to make something even better or work through issues that require on-the-fly prioritization.
• You are a highly organized team player and have a customer-centric attitude.
• You have a demonstrated ability to handle change and communications around sensitive issues with composure.
• You have cultural humility, can build relationships across differences, and have excellent interpersonal communication skills. You can work with stakeholders across levels.
• You consistently use your strong attention to detail to routinely identify trends, pull insights, and provide clear constructive feedback.
• You are passionate about our mission and making mental healthcare more accessible.
