The Supervisor, Credentialing Operations, Training & Provider Readiness leads the GBC Credentialing team and serves as the subject matter expert (SME), trainer, and day-to-day oversight lead for credentialing and market operations. This role is accountable for building team knowledge, driving urgency, and protecting the accuracy and timeliness of credentialing work so providers are onboarded, enrolled, and billing-ready without delaying their ability to generate revenue.

This role owns training, onboarding, continuous education, and staff development for the department. Using audit findings, operational trends, and performance data, it proactively identifies opportunities to improve competency, reduce errors, and increase consistency.

The Supervisor also directly manages the organization's Priority Provider Readiness Program as a hands-on individual contributor for leadership-approved priority providers, ensuring designated providers move through the credentialing and enrollment pipeline and are fully billing-ready on Day One whenever payer and operational requirements allow.

This is a hybrid leadership role. The supervisor serves as an individual contributor for leadership-approved Priority Providers, directly managing those high-risk readiness plans through completion. For broader team operations, success is measured by how effectively the supervisor leads, trains, monitors, and improves team performance, including accuracy, consistency, turnaround, and reduced critical misses. The supervisor redirects routine work to the correct owners, removes barriers, and oversees quality rather than personally completing all team-assigned work.
