Your Daily Mission

Centauri Health Solutions is hiring a Service Line Director to lead our Disability Hearings & Appeals service line. This is a P&L-owning leadership role for someone who knows the Social Security disability process inside and out and can turn that expertise into a high-performing, client-focused operation.
You'll report to a Senior Director or Vice President and lead the people, process, and financial performance of the service line — while staying close enough to the work to guide case strategy and represent Centauri with clients, vendors, and partners.

• Familiarity with SSA program guidance (POMS, HALLEX) and how it shapes case strategy and hearing preparation
• Experience overseeing or working with case managers, advocates, or attorneys who prepare and present cases at hearings
• Understanding of Disability Determination Services (DDS) workflows and how they intersect with client operations
Business & Leadership Skills
• Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Proven people leadership: performance management, coaching, and succession planning
• Skilled in change management and process improvement
• Excellent communication and executive presence; strong negotiation skills
• Comfort with reporting/BI tools and data-driven decision-making

The Reality of the Role

• Own P&L performance, budgeting, and financial growth for the service line
• Set strategy and translate it into operational plans for staffing, workflow, and growth
• Lead, coach, and develop Team Leaders, Service Line Managers, and front-line staff
• Oversee case quality, hearing outcomes, and turnaround times against SLAs
• Monitor performance trends and drive continuous process improvement
• Build and maintain relationships with clients, referral sources, and vendors
• Ensure the team stays current on SSA policy, regulatory, and procedural changes
• Represent the service line in client meetings, audits, and industry forums
