As Element Science continues to scale following commercialization of our innovative cardiac care technology, we're looking for a resourceful, hands-on professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and enjoys solving complex problems
- In this role, you'll own the full lifecycle of claims management while helping design the processes, systems, and infrastructure that will support a world-class reimbursement and billing operation. You'll work closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure timely claim resolution, optimize reimbursement outcomes, and contribute to the development of scalable best practices
- If you're energized by the opportunity to wear multiple hats, influence strategy, improve patient access to life-saving therapy, and leave a lasting mark on a growing organization, we'd love to connect with you
