  • Produce high?quality artifacts that support development, testing, and implementation.

Project & Risk Management

  • Monitor project progress, identify risks, and support mitigation strategies.
  • Coordinate assigned initiatives from initial concept through delivery.
  • Manage and prioritize new requests based on business needs and capacity.

Policy & Business Expertise

  • Serve as a resource for health?insurance policies, operational procedures, and regulatory impacts.
  • Conduct research and provide guidance to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience working in health insurance, ideally with BCBS plans, systems, workflows, or regulatory requirements.
  • Familiarity with claims processing, enrollment & eligibility, provider networks, benefit configuration, or utilization management.
  • AI product or automation experience is a plus.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Business Management, Finance, or related discipline.
