America is undergoing one of the largest demographic shifts in its history as the Baby Boomer generation enters its later years. This shift will put unprecedented pressure on Medicare, which already spends more than $1 trillion each year caring for older adults. Yet the healthcare system is built backwards: reactive instead of preventative, measuring years of life instead of the quality of them.
Sailor Health is building a new care model for aging. We combine behavioral health, healthcare advocacy, wellness classes, and AI care agents into one virtual platform designed for older adults. AI coaches help patients navigate their health between visits, while AI copilots give providers the tools to deliver higher-quality, better-informed care. We partner with Medicare to make our platform affordable and accessible to older adults nationwide.
Location: New York City, in office, 5 days a week.
We're hiring our first RCM Associate to own and scale revenue cycle at Sailor Health.
You will be the business owner and quarterback for RCM across product, engineering, and operations. You'll inherit a small team and a strong foundation: over half of our patients pay $0 out of pocket and our RCM KPIs already sit in the top 5% of digital health companies. We've invested heavily in a state-of-the-art, AI-native RCM stack, and we want a leader who can compound that advantage. We’ve gotten to where we are through a combination of operational rigor, in-house RCM products and external vendors, and deep attention to patient experience.
You'll report directly to both co-founders and work shoulder-to-shoulder with Payer Growth, Patient Growth, Engineering, and Product. At Sailor, operators ship product. You'll roll up your sleeves, write SQL, build internal tools, and run point on the highest-leverage decisions in the function.
This is the rare RCM role that combines the scale of a fast-growing digital health company, the bar of a top-decile billing operation, the tooling of an AI-native engineering team, and the autonomy of a first hire.
Own RCM end-to-end: Be the business owner responsible for the KPIs and health of the function. You'll sustain our top 5% outcomes, and will be responsible for growing the RCM team. Key metrics include: net collection rate, touchless claim rates, denial rates, days in AR, and cost to collect.
Serve as the product manager behind our AI-native RCM: Partner with our engineers to continue shipping RCM products. You're not waiting for a roadmap – you're co-authoring it.
Design and scale AI-native workflows: Across claims management, denial resolution, QA, reconciliation, payment posting, and payer operations.
Build real-time RCM reporting: Build and ship dashboards, reporting infrastructure, and operational visibility across the revenue cycle for the rest of our team.
Identify and break bottlenecks: Identify reimbursement leakage, process bottlenecks, and opportunities for automation or optimization.
Drive revenue operations: Own credentialing, enrollment, fee schedule integrity, and the operational side of payer relationships in tight partnership with Payer Growth.
Provide best-in-class patient billing experience: You ensure that our 5-star patient experience extends across billing and payments.
This is a high-ownership role for builders who want to operate close to the founders and solve complex problems. The pace at Sailor is high, and the people who thrive here are energized by autonomy, speed, and responsibility.
1-3 years of relevant experience. You've led or been a part the RCM team at a digital health company, or come from an operator role at a tech-enabled RCM company. Medicare / Medicare Advantage experience is a strong plus. Strong product, consulting, or banking candidates are also a fit.
You are customer-obsessed. You understand how RCM directly shapes the patient experience and you obsess over delivering a 5-star experience to patients.
You're a data-driven operator You enjoy going several layers deep into data to understand operational performance, uncover edge cases, and improve performance. You’re excellent with spreadsheets, and SQL experience is preferred but not required.
You're an AI operator. You are excited by using AI to drive better results and 10x your output. On evenings or weekends, you're on Claude or Codex shipping products, gadgets, or just experimenting.
You take work personally. You take pride in what you build and care deeply about the impact of your work.
You're an A+ player. You have a hunger to win and a proven track record of being a top performer in high-intensity environments.
