[Hiring] Credentialing Manager @Charlie Health

Role Description

The Credentialing & Provider Enrollment Manager will lead Charlie Health’s credentialing function and the team of specialists responsible for health plan enrollment across Medicaid and Commercial payors. You will own our delegated credentialing program end-to-end — a complex, specialized area spanning provider onboarding, primary source verification, the internal credentialing committee, and required payor and NCQA audits — while setting long-term credentialing strategy and managing the day-to-day performance of the team.

You will partner cross-functionally with Commercial Strategy, RevOps, RCM, and Compliance to expand delegated credentialing statuses, resolve problem payors, and continuously improve how the team operates, including through automation and AI-enabled tooling. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has run a delegated credentialing program before and is excited to both own the details and build the long-term strategy.

We’re a team of passionate, forward-thinking professionals eager to take on the challenge of the mental health crisis and play a formative role in providing life-saving solutions. If you’re inspired by our mission and energized by the opportunity to increase access to mental healthcare and impact millions of lives in a profound way, apply today.
