The Opportunity
We're seeking an enthusiastic and process-driven Payer Operations Specialist to serve as a subject matter expert and payer escalations contact on the credentialing and payer operations team. As we expand in-network access across the country, this role directly owns the speed and accuracy of payer expansion — the difference between providers who can see members on day one and applications that stall. You will be responsible for investigating stalled applications, new payer processes, and reviewing quality across the team to ensure consistency and SLA execution.
Location: Remote (US)
Your Impact
Assist Payer Operations leadership with documenting and maintaining end-to-end SOPs for payer contracting, enrollment, and credentialing workflows — turning tribal knowledge into repeatable, auditable processes
Implement quality controls and error-catching checkpoints that reduce rework and rejected applications
Identify bottlenecks in the expansion pipeline and drive cycle-time improvements
Keep enrollment and contracting trackers meticulously up to date, flag aging items and delays, and escalate blockers with proposed solutions
Conduct persistent, proactive follow-up with payers via phone, email, and payer portals to confirm application receipt, resolve deficiencies, and push applications through to approval. You own each item until it's done
Partner with RCM and payer strategy/business development teams in collaborative problem-solving or strategic payer initiatives.
Assist with application submission, as needed.
Required Qualifications
2+ years of experience in provider enrollment, credentialing, payer contracting, or healthcare administration (internship or adjacent revenue cycle experience considered)
Demonstrated experience building or documenting processes and SOPs
Comfort owning metrics and reporting on pipeline throughput
Highly independent and driven. You follow up relentlessly (including comfort calling and escalating within payer networks), manage your own queue without reminders, and don't let applications sit
Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills; you take pride in accurate, deadline-driven work
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience with payer portals and third party portals i.e. Availity
Familiarity with commercial payer requirements (Understanding Medicare and Medicaid processes is a plus)
Experience in multi-state telehealth, digital health, or a high-growth healthcare environment
Exposure to credentialing standards (e.g., NCQA, CMS)

What We Do
Allara is a virtual care platform for women living with hormonal, metabolic, and gynecological conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and thyroid disorders. These conditions affect millions of women, yet they remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. The typical patient spends years bouncing between disconnected specialists, repeating her story, and leaving without a clear plan. We exist to fix that broken experience. Allara brings OB/GYNs, Endocrinologists, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Dietitians onto one connected care team. Instead of treating a single symptom in isolation, our clinicians look at the whole picture, from labs and medication to nutrition and lifestyle, and build a coordinated, evidence-based plan for each member. Care is delivered virtually, on the member's schedule, with the kind of continuity that traditional healthcare rarely offers for these conditions. Making that possible takes serious technology and clinical infrastructure. Our team builds and scales the systems behind the entire member journey: care delivery and messaging, scheduling, clinical and provider workflows, data pipelines, and the member-facing experience. Every part of the product connects directly to how well we can treat people. We treat women's health as the serious, science-backed field it has always deserved to be, and we're growing quickly in a market that legacy healthcare has overlooked for decades. It's a rare combination: a large, meaningful problem, real momentum, and a team small enough that your work is visible and matters.
Why Work With Us
We're a small, fast-moving team where engineers own real systems end to end and ship quickly. Modern stack, meaty problems, and a short line from your work to patient outcomes. If you want to build in a space finally getting the investment it deserves, this is the place.
