• Own state arbitration strategy end to end. Decide which states we pursue, in what order, and why. Turn a function that's been informal and reactive into a deliberate, prioritized roadmap. • Build the state filing process from the ground up. Formalize how, when, and where we file across the ~20 states with real volume, replacing ad hoc handling with a repeatable operating model. • Lead and grow the State Arbitration team. Take over management of the existing team, including direct oversight of state arbitration staff, and hire quickly to scale the function as it formalizes. • Recover misrouted claims. Identify volume currently flowing into the federal IDR process that should be filed at the state level, and build the workflows to catch and correctly route it going forward. • Partner with Data & Analytics. Work closely with the analytics team to surface trends in claims and outcomes, and use that data to sharpen which states and strategies we invest in. • Drive the product roadmap for state arbitration. Partner with Product and Engineering to translate operational reality (eligibility rules, filing requirements, remittance advice complexity) into the tools and automation the team needs. • Own remittance advice and eligibility determination. Bring clarity to where claims sit between federal and state processes, and build the judgment calls into scalable, documented logic rather than one-off decisions. • Take on broader department management. Assume ownership of responsibilities currently held by Operations leadership, running state arbitration as its own accountable department rather than a shared responsibility.
