Description
Happy Health is revolutionizing sleep medicine delivery through our comprehensive telehealth platform. We've eliminated the traditional barriers to sleep care – no more waiting months for appointments or spending uncomfortable nights in sleep labs. Our patients receive FDA-cleared home sleep testing via Happy Ring, connect with board-certified sleep specialists, and when required, begin evidence-based treatment within just 5 days. Ongoing physiological data monitoring with the Happy Ring enables real-time condition management, combination therapies, and drives measurable outcomes.
Happy Ring represents the future of sleep diagnostics: an FDA-cleared medical device integrating advanced biometric sensors with AI-powered analysis to deliver highly accurate diagnostics and longitudinal management at home. For sleep medicine physicians, this means you'll have access to high-quality diagnostic data that empowers you to make confident clinical decisions for your patients, and integrate multimodal treatments that focus on root-cause solutions.
About the Role
Happy Sleep is looking for a Manager of Payor Operations to lead our credentialing and payor operations function — with a primary mandate to secure national payor agreements that let Happy Sleep operate at scale across markets. You'll manage a Credentialing Specialist who handles day-to-day credentialing execution, while you focus on the strategic relationships, contracting, and negotiation work that gets Happy Sleep in-network nationally rather than payor-by-payor, state-by-state.
You'll be the connective tissue between clinical operations, revenue cycle, and insurance payors — making sure nothing falls through the cracks that could delay a provider's ability to bill or a patient's ability to be seen, while also driving the bigger swing: converting a patchwork of regional payor relationships into durable, national agreements.
This role is a strong fit for someone who has run credentialing/payor ops hands-on, has direct experience negotiating with national payors, and is energized by moving between "in the weeds" problem-solving and high-stakes payor relationship management. You'll report to VP of Finance and will have significant latitude to shape how this function is built.
What You'll Do
National Payor Agreements
Lead the strategy and execution to move Happy Sleep from state-by-state, payor-by-payor enrollment toward national in-network agreements with major commercial payors
Build and pitch the business case for national contracting to payor leadership — data on volume, quality, cost savings, and network adequacy and, most importantly, health outcomes
Own negotiations (or partner closely with Legal/Finance on) rates, terms, and effective dates for national agreements
Sequence and prioritize which payors to pursue first based on member volume, existing patient overlap, and strategic fit
Given Happy’s model, some payers gravitate toward a vendor or bundled arrangement with a path to a value based, shared savings model. You’re prepared to embrace this nuance and get it across the finish line
Track and report progress on national agreement pursuit to executive leadership, including risks, blockers, and timeline
Once agreements are signed, ensure smooth operational rollout — timely provider data load, fee schedule loading, updated payer directory and internal communication so billing/RCM can execute cleanly
Team Leadership
Directly manage a Credentialing Specialist, providing day-to-day guidance, workload prioritization, and professional development
Set clear SLAs and KPIs for credentialing turnaround time, clean application assembly , and renewal compliance, and coach the team to hit them
Step in on complex or escalated credentialing/enrollment cases as needed
Aid in forming responses to network managers that foster relationship building
Continuously improve the systems, workflows, and tooling that support credentialing and payor enrollment (we currently use Modi
