Role Description

The RCM Client Engagement Manager owns the day-to-day revenue cycle client relationship for assigned accounts, from initial discovery and scoping through implementation, operational and renewal support, and (where applicable) offboarding or transition. This role works with the Implementation Project Manager(s) assigned to their accounts, ensuring implementation is aligned with the broader client relationship and contract commitments. The RCM Client Engagement Manager translates client-specific revenue cycle complexity, particularly rural health operational and financial dynamics, into actionable plans at every stage of the relationship. The Client Engagement Manager maintains an awareness of healthcare information technology services and serves as a liaison between client stakeholders and Convene IT teams. This role reports to the Client Success Leader and works with RCM Operations and Sales roles as the client’s primary point of contact supporting daily operational needs.

  • Identifies unknowns and open risks requiring resolution prior to activation.
  • Collaborates with implementation team to adapt implementation plans to client.

  • Manages structured offboarding or service transition in the event a contract is not renewed or scope is reduced, ensuring an orderly handoff.
• Client Communication & Expectation Management:
  • Establishes clarity around RCM scope, timelines, client responsibilities, and “what good looks like” for KPI performance from day one and reaffirms it at each contract stage.
  • Facilitates regular engagement touchpoints across the entire relationship, from onboarding through steady-state operations, resolving day-to-day friction directly rather than escalating routine issues.
  • Serves as the client’s escalation point to sales and client success leaders at any point in the contract term, coordinating rapid internal response with RCM operations leadership.
