About this role

The Manager, Payer Operations and Enablement is a force-multiplier role responsible for operating rigor, execution velocity, and institutional memory across Boulder Care’s payer partnerships and contracting efforts. You will support Value Based Partnerships across Medicaid and Commercial payer contracting efforts.

This is a hands-on, internal role that blends pipeline management, deal support, and cross-functional coordination to ensure senior leaders spend time on strategy, negotiation, and decision-making - not administration.

You're a great fit if you consider yourself a systems builder and doer - someone who serves as connective tissue across the payer function and enables senior leaders to focus on strategy, negotiation, and decision-making. You value speed, clarity, and reliability of execution. This role does not own payer strategy, pricing, or negotiation.

What you'll do

• Own payer pipeline tracking, hygiene, and reporting
• Prepare decks, narratives, and materials for payer meetings
• Conduct market and payer analysis for new and existing states
• Run meeting prep, notes, follow-ups, and next-step tracking
• Actively participate in weekly payer meetings, capturing decisions, action items, and follow-ups, and maintaining accurate internal records
• Coordinate inputs from Finance, Analytics, Clinical, and Ops
• Support renegotiations with structured materials and timelines
• Maintain institutional memory across deals and accounts
• Take on special projects and flex into adjacent responsibilities as needed to support the payer-facing function

What you bring

• 5–8+ years in healthcare or digital health consulting, sales ops, business operations, strategy, or contracting enablement
• Strong project management and communication skills
• Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and solution-focused, with the ability to translate complexity into clear materials and action plans
• Excellent written and visual storytelling (decks, summaries)
• Comfort working with senior leaders and ambiguity
• General understanding of healthcare and how health plans contract with providers
• Demonstrated ability to independently own and drive projects to completion
• Experience supporting sales or contracting teams and building foundational processes and systems in high-growth digital health or healthcare environments

Nice to have but not required

• Experience with value-based care and Medicaid
