Billing Compliance Auditor (Law Firm Experience Required)

Who We're Looking For… We're looking for a billing compliance professional who has been in the weeds; someone who has audited timekeeper entries line by line, pushed back on attorneys when entries didn't hold up, and written appeals that resulted in successful resolutions. You know your UTBMS codes. You know when a narrative is going to get cut before it ever reaches the carrier.

And when the billing guidelines don't have a clear answer, you make a sound judgment call, in alignment with the spirit of carrier guidelines, and own it. This is a high-volume role with real variety, steady audit work, alongside special projects that require you to shift gears quickly, reprioritize, and perform at a high level under pressure. You'll work within a collaborative, fully remote team that communicates directly, respects each other's expertise, and expects everyone to bring their best.

If you've spent years building expertise in this niche and you're looking for a team that actually values it, this is for you. This position reports to the Director of Quality Assurance and the Head of Legal Operations, and collaborates closely with the Billing Department. This is a fully remote position.

Our entire team works 100% remotely, and we are built to operate that way with strong communication, clear expectations, and mutual accountability. For candidates located near one of our office locations, optional hybrid arrangements are available but never required. The right candidate is someone who takes ownership, communicates proactively, and thrives with autonomy.
