- 5+ years in the BH/SUD industry, ideally in founder, CEO, or senior operating roles
- Deep command of the SUD revenue cycle: benefits verification, authorizations, coding, claim submission, denials, appeals, collections, payer follow-up
- You've built, run, or materially improved an RCM operation, and you can document it in process maps and business requirements
- You've hired and led high-performing billing teams
- Executive-level credibility with leaders at BH/SUD treatment organizations
- M&A, operational due diligence, or integration experience strongly preferred
What success looks like
In 12-18 months: a productized RCM service customers want, a repeatable onboarding and delivery model, a growing book of recurring service revenue, a strong team, and a working framework for evaluating acquisition targets.
