About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define, own, and evolve the AI product roadmap for healthcare claims solutions—spanning claims adjudication automation, claims adjustment, payment integrity, COB/subrogation, provider issue resolution, and FWA detection.
Translate complex claims operational challenges into AI-first product strategies with clear business cases, ROI frameworks, and measurable KPIs (e.g., auto-adjudication rate, denial accuracy, overpayment recovery yield).
Drive solutions from ideation → POC → MVP → production scale, using agile execution and business-centric prioritization.
Maintain a competitive landscape matrix and continuously benchmark against market players (Optum/Change Healthcare, Cotiviti, Cognizant TriZetto, HealthEdge, Conduent, etc.) to inform differentiation strategy.
Partner with sales, finance, and leadership to determine pricing, packaging, and go-to-market approach (managed services, SaaS, outcome-based/gainshare models).
Drive the transition from traditional rules-engine claims processing to AI-augmented adjudication—automating claim edits, benefit configuration interpretation, provider contract parsing, and payment rule application.
Apply deep knowledge of end-to-end claims operations—claim intake, edits, adjudication, pricing, payment, adjustment, appeals, grievances, provider disputes, and overpayment recovery—to identify high-impact AI use cases.
Embed AI solutions into core claims platforms and systems (QNXT, Facets, Amisys, HealthRules Payer, CSC/DXC, etc.) through platform-agnostic integration and API-first design.
