Michigan Payer Enrollment Operations Manager, Remote

Join a leadership team where your work directly shapes how Aledade’s physician practices succeed in value-based care. As Michigan Payer Enrollment Operations Manager (internally: Operations Manager, IPA), you’ll partner with IPA leadership to oversee the administrative engine behind our contracts, including payer contracts, contract membership, payment distribution, and client services delivery. You’ll collaborate across internal departments to help clients get the most out of pay-for-performance programs, risk sharing arrangements, and value-based contracts, and you’ll lead a team that may include an Operations Specialist and Membership Associates.

Location Note: This is a remote role, with a strong preference for candidates based in Michigan due to the importance of understanding the state’s payer landscape and programs. Candidates located anywhere within the US will be considered.

Who We Are:

Aledade PBC, a public benefit corporation, exists to empower the most transformational part of our health care landscape - independent primary care. We were founded in 2014, and since then, we've become the largest network of independent primary care in the country - helping practices, health centers and clinics deliver better care to their patients and thrive in value-based care. Additionally, by creating value-based contracts across a wide variety of health plans, we aim to flip the script on the traditional fee-for-service model. Our work strengthens continuity of care, aligns incentives and ensures primary care physicians are paid for what they do best - keeping patients healthy. If you want to help create a health care system that is good for patients, good for practices and good for society - and if you're eager to join a collaborative, inclusive and remote-first culture - you've come to the right place.
