About Claim Climbers

Claim Climbers helps U.S. military veterans secure the benefits they have earned by transforming complex medical records into clear and credible evidence. Our team combines medical accuracy, compassion, and professionalism to deliver evidence that helps veterans receive the benefits they deserve.

Why This Role Matters

Every veteran we serve depends on the accuracy and quality of our medical evidence. The Director of Medical Evidence ensures every Record Review and Nexus Letter reflects the accuracy, integrity, and compassion our mission demands.

The Opportunity

This is your chance to lead a mission that matters. You will inherit a strong foundation of systems, talent, and process and take it to the next level of scale, quality, and impact. You will guide multiple specialized teams toward one goal: delivering timely, high-quality medical evidence that helps veterans win the benefits they have earned.

You will bring structure, clarity, and innovation to how our medical evidence moves from Record Review to final Nexus Letter, while ensuring every veteran experiences care and professionalism that exceeds expectations. You will establish clear SLAs and KPIs across all teams, creating accountability, visibility, and a culture of excellence that drives results. By improving efficiency, documenting processes, and refining systems, you will help us scale our reach and make every case faster, cleaner, and more impactful.
