What you bring to the table

• You have hands-on experience handling health claims across borders or internationally.
• You are familiar with medical coding and provider billing.
• You have an instinct for automation and AI tooling, and you use it daily.
• You take tough decisions daily, including saying no to customers, and you still enjoy the work.

• You are a fluent English speaker.

Nice to have:

• German, Spanish, or French language skills.
• Experience with moratorium underwriting.
• A medical background.
• Experience in an MGA or delegated authority setup.

You'll be responsible for

• You will make claims decisions
• You will interpret coverage, decide declines, settlement amounts, and goodwill within policy terms, with real authority, not recommend-and-wait.
• You will handle expat and international health claims: cross-border invoices across languages and billing conventions, currency and tax, and coordination with statutory and private cover in the country of residence.
• You will manage our carrier relationships
• You will own claims reporting and bordereaux, contentious cases, and coverage disputes with our insurance partners.
• You will keep audit-ready records throughout, so nothing surprises the carrier.
• You will decide how we work with service providers
• You will decide where using third-party administrators (TPAs) makes sense, and manage instructions, quality, turnaround, and commercial performance where we use them.
• You will build the operating model
• You will close gaps with product and engineering across intake, documents, decision support, payout, and automation.
• You will run audits and fraud checks, working toward semi-automated monitoring with the data team.
• You will build capability
• You will write the playbook so health claims stops depending on one person.
• You will train whoever joins the team next.
