Accountabilities:
- Lead and continuously improve a risk-based monitoring framework for downline agencies, including risk-tiering methodologies, monitoring thresholds, and program standards.
- Partner with quality assurance and case management teams to incorporate call quality results, case findings, and other relevant data into agency risk assessments.
- Analyze monitoring data to identify systemic, recurring, or emerging compliance risks and provide recommendations for program-level improvements.
- Own carrier-facing compliance reporting, summarizing monitoring activities, findings, corrective actions, and outcomes across the agency network.
- Develop and maintain executive-level dashboards and reports that communicate monitoring performance, risk trends, and key compliance insights to leadership.
- Serve as a key compliance contact for carrier partners regarding agency monitoring and reporting requirements.
- Independently develop, negotiate, and manage Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) for agencies and agents, including submissions for high-risk cases.
- Lead root cause analyses for significant compliance issues and translate findings into targeted remediation plans and broader process improvements.
- Develop coaching resources and lead educational sessions or office hours addressing emerging compliance trends and recurring issues.
- Serve as a subject matter expert on CMS Medicare marketing, telephonic enrollment, and downline agency oversight requirements.
- Mentor and advise less experienced compliance professionals on complex cases, monitoring decisions, and regulatory interpretation.
- Represent compliance in cross-functional and carrier-facing discussions involving agency oversight, remediation, coaching, and education.
- Operate with a high degree of independence, escalating complex, high-impact, or precedent-setting matters to compliance leadership as appropriate.
- Demonstrated subject matter expertise in CMS regulations and Medicare compliance requirements governing downline agency oversight, including relevant rate-based risk indicators and telephonic enrollment standards.
- Proven experience independently leading, developing, or evolving an agency monitoring, compliance QA, or risk-tiering program rather than solely executing an established framework.
- Strong analytical capabilities, with the ability to transform monitoring data, call quality results, case information, and other operational inputs into actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
- Experience managing corrective actions, remediation plans, performance improvement initiatives, and root cause analyses in a regulated environment.
- Strong coaching and mentoring skills, with the ability to develop less experienced compliance professionals and communicate complex requirements clearly.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence interacting with internal leadership, agents, agency partners, and external carrier stakeholders.
- Highly organized and capable of managing multiple complex workflows, competing priorities, and time-sensitive compliance activities independently.
- Experience working in healthcare compliance, Medicare operations, insurance, or another highly regulated environment.
- Proficiency with Google Workspace and familiarity with compliance workflow, case management, monitoring, or reporting platforms.
- Strong judgment, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risk.
