Ready to shape the strategy, lead the transformation, and own the financial outcomes for a critical enterprise function?

Why This Role Matters

Stop loss is where financial risk, operational precision, and client trust all converge — and this role sits at the center of it. As Senior Manager of Stop Loss, you're not just managing a department; you're defining how the function operates, scales, and performs across the enterprise. From reimbursement optimization to carrier negotiations to large-scale transformation initiatives, your decisions directly influence Personify Health's financial outcomes and competitive positioning. The leaders you develop, the systems you modernize, and the strategies you execute will determine how well the organization manages risk and delivers for clients in an industry that never stops evolving. 

Work Location: This is an on-site role based in Tempe, AZ. Candidates must be available to work from the office on a full-time basis.

What You'll Actually Do

• Define and execute the Stop Loss operating model: Set the long-term vision, strategy, and structure for the function — translating corporate priorities into departmental goals and ensuring every team is aligned and accountable.
• Drive financial performance and reimbursement outcomes: Own the results across claim filings, reimbursement recovery, and cash flow management, with a relentless focus on eliminating financial leakage and optimizing recovery.
• Lead enterprise transformation initiatives: Sponsor and direct large-scale system implementations, automation strategies, and workflow redesigns that modernize operations and position the function for sustainable growth.
• Oversee the full claim lifecycle at a strategic level: Ensure accuracy, compliance, and maximized reimbursement across specific and aggregate claims — with direct involvement in high-risk, complex, and escalated situations and carrier negotiations.
• Build and evolve data and analytics capabilities: Oversee reporting strategies and advanced analytics that surface actionable insights on claims performance, reimbursement trends, and financial forecasting — and ensure data integrity across all systems.
• Establish governance, compliance, and risk controls: Develop and maintain audit frameworks, compliance processes, and governance structures that keep the function aligned with regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, and internal policy.
• Partner cross-functionally at the executive level: Influence enterprise decisions across Finance, Underwriting, Claims, Client Services, Compliance, and IT — and represent Stop Loss in steering committees, executive forums, and strategic planning discussions.
• Lead and develop a multi-level leadership team: Build leadership capability, drive succession planning, and coach managers and supervisors on performance management, change leadership, and operational excellence.
• Shape external partnerships and carrier relationships: Build and negotiate strategic relationships with TPAs, carriers, and vendors to drive service excellence and favorable financial outcomes. 
• Lead enterprise-wide strategic initiatives: Drive M&A integrations, new product implementations, process standardization, and change management efforts that expand organizational capability and deliver measurable business impact.
