CEO & COO

About the Role

The Associate Director, RCM Operations is Neolytix's senior-most delivery leader in India, accountable for the end-to-end performance of our RCM and Credentialing service lines. This is not a monitoring role. The AD owns the outcome: SLAs, quality, client satisfaction, team capability, and the P&L that sits behind every engagement.

Reporting to the COO and CEO, this seat carries direct authority over Operations Managers, Team Leads, and front-line specialists across both service lines. You will be the primary escalation authority for all delivery issues, the senior client-facing voice for operational matters, and the architect of how Neolytix's India delivery function scales.

If you have spent your career running large healthcare operations at a high standard, know what great RCM and Credentialing delivery looks like from the floor up, and are ready to own both the number and the team, this is the role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Delivery & SLA Ownership

• Own end-to-end SLA performance across RCM sub-functions: AR follow-up, billing, payment posting, charge posting, and denial management.
• Own Credentialing operations in full: provider enrollment, re-credentialing, CAQH maintenance, expirable tracking, and payer-specific workflows.
• Drive the operating cadence: daily floor reviews, weekly performance dashboards, monthly COO reporting, and escalation resolution.
• Serve as the senior escalation authority for all delivery issues across both service lines, with direct accountability for resolution timelines.

1. Capacity Planning & P&L

• Own the India delivery P&L for RCM and Credentialing, managing cost-to-serve, billing realization, and margin targets.
• Lead headcount planning, capacity modeling, and resource allocation aligned to client volume commitments and pipeline.
• Partner with the COO on ramp-up plans for new client onboardings, covering hiring, training, and floor-readiness timelines.

1. Client Engagement & Retention

• Act as the senior operational partner for key clients, building trusted and long-term relationships with client-side stakeholders.
• Lead and contribute to Quarterly Business Reviews, performance reporting, and service expansion discussions.
• Proactively surface delivery risks, drive resolution, and communicate transparently with client stakeholders before issues escalate.

1. People Leadership & Talent Development

• Lead, coach, and develop a multi-tier team: Operations Managers, Team Leads, and front-line specialists across RCM and Credentialing.
• Own succession planning, performance management cycles, and high-potential identification for the ops org.
• Partner with Talent Management on hiring, onboarding, and retention strategies for RCM and Credentialing talent.
• Build a performance culture grounded in accountability, continuous feedback, and professional growth.

1. Process Excellence & Technology

• Drive continuous improvement across both service lines using structured problem-solving approaches.
• Champion automation and technology adoption to improve throughput, reduce error rates, and lower cost-to-serve.
• Own SOPs, process documentation, and audit readiness across RCM and Credentialing workflows.
• Collaborate with analytics and technology teams to build performance visibility and reporting infrastructure.

1. Governance & Compliance

• Ensure all operations remain compliant with HIPAA, CMS guidelines, and payer-specific requirements.
• Own internal QA frameworks, audit processes, and remediation planning for both service lines.
• Maintain documentation standards and escalation protocols that support SSAE-18 and SOC 2 readiness.
