JOB DUTIES- The Revenue Cycle Project Manager leads the day-to-day coordination and delivery of UT Southwestern's Revenue Cycle Automation Program, serving as the primary liaison among operational leaders, internal developers, and external automation partners, including Tarpon. This role manages opportunity intake, partners with operational and technical teams to assess automation candidates and works with leadership to maintain a prioritized automation roadmap. Responsibilities include educating stakeholders on automation capabilities, clarifying business needs and expected outcomes, managing the consultant relationship and resource utilization, and coordinating projects through an Agile/Scrum-based process-from initial evaluation through testing, implementation, operational acceptance, and formal closure.
- Success requires exceptional communication, strong process improvement discipline, and a thorough understanding of professional billing (PB) and hospital billing (HB) within large, complex health systems. The ideal candidate can recognize promising automation opportunities, identify when a process needs improvement before automation, and maintain alignment between operational priorities and development work. Working familiarity with platforms such as Epic, UiPath, and Microsoft Fabric/Foundry, along with a general understanding of traditional and agentic automation, is needed to understand developer explanations, ask informed questions, and communicate implications clearly to operational leaders. This individual maintains visibility into project status, risks, dependencies, and decisions while ensuring accountability and timely resolution across teams.
