Operational QA Administrator

It's fun to work in a company where people truly believe in what they're doing!

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

The Operational QA Administrator helps make sure every clinician is paid correctly and every client is billed accurately. Sitting within our Payroll function, this role reviews assignment, rate, time, and reimbursement data before it reaches payroll and billing, catches errors early, and works with Recruiting, Credentialing, Finance, and Operations to get them resolved.

This role is a great fit for someone who notices when a number looks off and wants to know why. You will own assigned QA queues, audits, and follow-up activities, resolve routine discrepancies using established procedures, and recognize when an issue needs to be escalated. Success requires strong attention to detail, sound judgment, clear communication, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced staffing environment.

• Protect confidential clinician, employee, client, and financial information and maintain audit-ready records.

Documentation & Process Execution

• Follow established SOPs, checklists, and workflow requirements.
• Maintain QA trackers, audit logs, and operational documentation.
• Recommend updates when documentation no longer reflects current processes.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Follow up with Recruiting, Credentialing, Operations, and Finance to obtain missing information and close out discrepancies.
• Monitor dependencies that could affect payroll accuracy or billing timelines.

• Use approved technology, automation, and AI-enabled tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.
• Share feedback from day-to-day reviews to strengthen upstream processes.

Team Collaboration & Development

• Work collaboratively with the Payroll team to maintain coverage during high-volume periods and PTO.
• Participate in cross-training across Payroll and Operations workstreams.
• Apply coaching and feedback to grow toward more complex QA and payroll responsibilities.

Payroll QA & Assignment Review

• Review assignment changes, extensions, cancellations, and reimbursements for correct approvals, dates, rates, and supporting documentation before processing.
• Identify discrepancies that could affect clinician pay or client billing and coordinate timely correction.
• Respond to routine clinician status questions and route specialized payroll, tax, or benefits questions appropriately.

Systems & Workflow Operations

• Validate data moving between Bullhorn, Workday, and timekeeping systems and investigate exceptions, duplicates, or incomplete records.
• Confirm required system steps are complete before payroll and billing processes begin.
• Assist with system testing and documentation updates related to workflow changes.
