The Senior Director will drive the modernization and automation of fee claim processes, establish scalable controls and workflows, and partner closely with Claims, Trust Accounting and Finance. The role will also partner with external vendors to improve efficiency, accuracy, and transparency. This role blends hands-on execution with leadership.
What You'll Own
- Develop and execute the strategic roadmap for automation and optimization of fee claim operations across the organization.
- Lead a team responsible for validating and reconciling third-party vendor invoices prior to inclusion on client check registers, ensuring contractual compliance and payment accuracy.
- Oversee the reconciliation and validation of internal Payment Integrity and other fee-based transactions prior to client billing and payment processing.
- Manage the creation, review, and governance of accounting entries related to fee claim transactions, ensuring accurate and timely posting to the general ledger.
- Drive the identification, prioritization, and implementation of automation opportunities that reduce manual effort, strengthen controls, and improve scalability.
- Establish and monitor key performance indicators, operational metrics, and control frameworks to ensure the integrity and efficiency of fee claim processes.
- Oversee accounts receivable balances associated with fee claim activities, ensuring timely collection, resolution of aging items, and appropriate financial reporting.
- Partner with third-party vendors to resolve billing discrepancies, improve invoicing processes, and maintain strong operational relationships.
- Collaborate with Finance, Accounting, Technology, and Operations teams to ensure fee claim processes align with organizational objectives, compliance requirements, and financial reporting standards.
- Lead process redesign initiatives and continuous improvement efforts to enhance client experience, operational efficiency, and financial accuracy.
- Build, mentor, and develop a highly effective team, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

- 12+ years of progressive claims/TPA experience, including at least 5–7 years in a senior leadership role with direct accountability for claims finance, financial recovery, reinsurance, or fee-based claims operations.
