The Healthcare Operations Manager will help ensure that candidates move smoothly from offer acceptance through onboarding, credentialing, security processing, compliance completion, and successful contract start.
This is not a basic administrative role. We are looking for someone who can manage projects, build trust with employees, communicate professionally with government customers, solve problems, and help create scalable operational systems as AIMS Force continues to grow.
