Job Summary:

The Rebate Operations Manager  will lead the end-to-end data lifecycle of our rebate programs. This role is responsible for the technical accuracy of claims submissions, the validation of payments against contract rates, and the recovery of "stale" or missed billing opportunities. You will serve as the primary link between our internal data and external partners, ensuring that our rebate revenue is captured fully and accurately at the NDC-11 level.

What you will do:

• #### Claims Lifecycle & Quality Assurance

+ Error Resolution: Manage rejections from external partners; perform root-cause analysis on data issues and re-submit corrected claims to maximize capture.

+ Stale Billing Recovery: Monitor and "push" for the billing of claims missed during initial windows due to vendor delays or data gaps, ensuring no revenue is left on the table.

• #### Financial Integrity & Rate Maintenance

+ Rate List Development: Build and maintain master rate lists based on current formularies and utilization management (UM) to correspond with product-specific rates.

+ Invoice Verification: Marry billed amounts back to rate lists to identify missing, incorrect, or inappropriately billed amounts.

+ Payment Reconciliation: Verify incoming payments against invoiced amounts; identify and dispute short-payments or missing funds.

• #### Advanced Analytics & Forecasting

+ Detailed Reporting: Build out rebate performance reports.

+ Financial Estimating: Run monthly "pro-forma" estimates of expected rebates to serve as a benchmark for actual collections.

+ Visual Data Strategy: Manage and optimize the internal dashboards to provide "slice-and-dice" visibility into rebate trends for executive leadership and sales teams.
