About the Job

CardioOne is seeking a dynamic and experienced Revenue Cycle Implementation & Optimization Manager to lead the onboarding of new practice partners, drive continuous improvement across existing revenue cycle operations, and manage strategic projects that support CardioOne's revenue cycle growth and performance goals. This role sits at the intersection of revenue cycle expertise, systems knowledge, and project management — serving as a key connector between clinical operations, practice leadership, billing teams, and technology to ensure seamless implementations and sustainable, high-performing revenue cycle workflows.

Revenue Cycle Optimization

• Partner with AR, coding, authorization, and billing teams to design and implement workflow improvements that drive measurable performance gains

Stakeholder & Practice Partner Engagement

• Build strong relationships with practice administrators, physicians, and operational leaders at partner practices, serving as a trusted advisor on revenue cycle performance and strategy

• Translate complex revenue cycle data, workflow changes, and system updates into clear, actionable communication for clinical and non-clinical audiences

• Serve as an escalation point for practice partners experiencing revenue cycle challenges, coordinating rapid response and resolution across internal teams

What you'll need:
