Senior Manager, Process Engineering

R1 is the leading provider of technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of hospitals, health systems and medical groups. We are the one company that combines the deep expertise of a global workforce of revenue cycle professionals with the industry’s most advanced technology platform, encompassing sophisticated analytics, AI, intelligent automation, and workflow orchestration.  

As our Senior Manager of Process Engineering, you will own the design, documentation, and optimization of healthcare revenue cycle workflows across payer–provider systems. This role sits at the intersection of operations, product, and engineering. The ideal candidate is deeply fluent in healthcare claims lifecycle processes and can independently translate complex operational workflows into clear, testable requirements that engineering teams can build from. This is not a reporting or data analyst role. This is a workflow ownership and product translation role. To thrive in this role, you will think in systems (not reports), challenges assumptions thoughtfully, and understands healthcare deeply enough to ask the right second-order questions.

• Analyze current‑state processes, existing standards, and operational, financial, and quality metrics to identify automation and efficiency opportunities and evaluate product performance.

• Translate operational workflows into detailed, build-ready documentation:

  • Product Requirements Documents (PRDs)

  • User Stories with acceptance criteria

  • Process maps and decision trees

• Work closely with product and engineering teams to

  • Refine backlog items and clarify scope

  • Ensure product development stays on track and delivers meaningful value to users and business objectives

  • Ensure requirements are testable, traceable, and aligned to business outcomes

• Support implementation and adoption of solutions through change management, documentation, and collaborating with training, quality, and performance management teams.

• Act as the connective layer between operations, product, engineering, and executive stakeholders

• Communicate complex workflow logic clearly to technical and non-technical audiences

• Operate independently with minimal oversight once priorities are aligned

• Surface risks and constraint assumptions proactively

• Must be willing to travel up to 25%

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Process Analyst, or Product Business Analyst in healthcare

• Strong knowledge of healthcare revenue cycle management, including back-end operations, payor rules, claims workflows, denials management, and reimbursement methodologies.

• Proven experience in process analysis, process improvement, or operational analytics within a healthcare environment.

• Advanced analytical skills with the ability to interpret large data sets and translate findings into actionable process recommendations.

• Hands‑on experience with Excel, Power BI, or similar reporting and visualization tools to track performance and outcomes.

• Ability to document workflows, business requirements, and process standards clearly and effectively.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Strong ability to prioritize

• Strong stakeholder facilitation skills

• Comfortable managing ambiguity

Nice to have:
