Senior Manager, RCM Operations
Run a client pod end to end and own its numbers. This is hands-on operational leadership where the metrics are the job, not the report.
The role
What this job actually is
Mastery of the RCM metric set is mandatory: net collection rate, gross collection rate, days in AR, AR over 90 days, denial rate, first-pass resolution rate, clean claim rate, cost to collect, charge lag and DNFB. You must be able to read them, explain what moves them, and act on them.
You run the delivery pod for a set of US clients: the team, the queues and the numbers. You own daily and weekly execution across AR follow-up, denial management, billing and payment posting, and you report performance that a US client will read. This role requires real command of RCM metrics, because you will be asked why days in AR moved and the answer has to be specific.
Ownership
What you will own
Pod performance
Own the metric set for your clients: net collection rate, days in AR, AR over 90, denial rate and clean claim rate. Report them accurately and act on them weekly.
Daily execution
Run the queues: AR follow-up priority, denial work allocation, billing accuracy and posting timeliness. Make sure the highest-value work gets worked first.
Team leadership
Lead team leads and specialists. Coach on quality, hold the standard, and grow people into the next role.
Root cause discipline
Track denials to their source and drive prevention rather than repeat rework.
Client communication
Prepare and present operational updates that are honest and specific, including when the number went the wrong way.
Process improvement
Find the recurring friction in your pod and fix it with a documented change, not a workaround.
Ramp
Your first 90 days
First 30 days
Own the numbers for your pod: baseline every metric, understand the client SLA, and identify the top denial reasons and AR buckets driving the trend.
By day 60
A working weekly cadence, a prioritized AR and denial plan, and the top three root causes in your pod documented with owners.
By day 90
Measurable movement on at least two core metrics, a stable team cadence, and clean, trusted reporting.

Why ASP-RCM
Why this seat is different
We are senior-led by design. A senior partner is named on accounts and shows up in the work, which is why clients renew and why this role carries real authority rather than a title. Our AI suite is in production, not in a roadmap deck, and our compliance posture is independently audited: SOC 2 Type II with HITRUST, ISO 27001 and HIPAA.
We pay for certifications and run upskilling cohorts, because coding and revenue cycle are crafts that need investment. You will work across Dallas HQ, six US states and Chennai, India, with colleagues who have run these functions at scale.
