DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Provide senior technical and operational support for enterprise applications such as EZCap, Salesforce, Conga, finance systems, claims and provider-payment platforms, and other assigned business applications.
  • Troubleshoot complex configuration, workflow, mapping, permission, file-load, interface, data, reporting, and production issues; serve as an escalation point for difficult operational problems.
  • Support provider, contract, fee schedule, rate, claims, payment, finance, enrollment, outreach, and related application configurations.
  • Work with Claims, Finance, Contracting, Enrollment, Outreach, Operations, vendors, and IT partners to understand business processes, policies, contracts, rules, data requirements, and control needs.
  • Translate approved business requirements into maintainable system configurations, workflows, mappings, interfaces, validation rules, and technical specifications.
  • Identify incomplete or ambiguous requests and help establish structured intake, validation, approval, testing, implementation, and audit processes.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis to determine whether recurring incidents arise from process, data, configuration, integration, training, or system-design issues.
  • Define and maintain application reference data, effective dates, versioning, configuration records, business rules, and system mappings with appropriate traceability.
  • Use SQL and other analytical tools to validate data, reconcile results, investigate issues, and confirm expected business and financial outcomes.
  • Support APIs, file interfaces, ETL processes, batch jobs, scheduled processing, and light automation across enterprise applications.
  • Develop test scenarios and support system testing, regression testing, user acceptance testing, deployment, post-production validation, and stabilization.
  • Coordinate application incidents, vendor escalations, cross-system dependencies, production changes, and communication with affected business teams.
  • Create and maintain system documentation, configuration records, process maps, runbooks, support procedures, and knowledge-transfer materials.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce repetitive manual work, recurring tickets, rework, and dependence on individual staff members or vendors.
  • Support application implementations, upgrades, migrations, integration changes, and business process transformation initiatives.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Strong SQL skills for data validation, reconciliation, troubleshooting, and production support.
  • Working knowledge of APIs, file-based integrations, ETL processes, batch jobs, and system-to-system data exchanges.
  • Experience with one or more enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, Conga, EZCap, claims systems, finance systems, contract-management systems, CRM platforms, or comparable applications.
  • Understanding of configuration governance, effective dating, version control, auditability, data quality, security, and operational controls.
  • Ability to analyze end-to-end business processes and determine whether an issue should be addressed through support, configuration, workflow redesign, integration, data correction, or user training.
  • Basic scripting or automation capability using Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, or comparable tools.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, Healthcare Administration, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • Five or more years of experience in business systems engineering, enterprise application support, systems analysis, application administration, or a closely related role.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting complex enterprise applications and resolving issues involving configuration, workflows, data mappings, permissions, interfaces, and business rules.
  • Experience gathering requirements, documenting processes, developing test plans, supporting UAT, and coordinating production deployments.
  • Experience working directly with business stakeholders, vendors, technical teams, and third-party service providers.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Experience in healthcare, managed care, PACE, claims, provider contracting, finance, enrollment, outreach, or other regulated operational environments.
  • Experience supporting HIPAA-regulated data, audit requests, compliance controls, and production change-management processes.
  • Experience improving cross-department workflows or replacing manual, email-, spreadsheet-, or ticket-driven processes with standardized system workflows.
