Customer Support Specialist

Let’s keep things simple: we are an unbelievably talented, hard-working, and compassionate team driving towards a mission that impacts a huge amount of people who use Healthcare benefits in the US. 

Healthcare benefits are complex, underutilized and a mystery for most users in the USA. We’re removing that complexity. Our industry-changing technology solution puts a simplified benefits experience in the hands of users, saving them time and money.

Following an explosive 2019 (raising $30M in Series C funding, awards for Chicago’s Best Tech Startup and Chicago’s Best Place to Work, adding 50+ key team members and more), we’re continuing down the path of high growth and high impact. 

• Member Care & Ticket Processing: Assist in handling member inquiries (tickets) accurately and efficiently, ensuring members understand their benefits and feel supported.
• Smart Automation & AI: Actively leverage automation tools and AI software to speed up resolution times while maintaining high-quality outcomes.
• Priority Management: Assess the urgency of incoming requests to prioritize critical cases and manage escalations with empathy and objective reasoning.
• Provider & Member Outreach: Conduct outbound calls to healthcare providers and members to help schedule appointments, verify information, and close gaps in care.
• Proactive Problem Solving: Identify scheduling bottlenecks or workflow trends, flag issues early, and suggest improvements to team leadership.
• Member Experience: Deliver a high-standard "WOW" service tailored to the US customer base.
• Communicate scheduling challenges or trends that may negatively impact outcomes
• Transparent & Proactive Communication: Keep team leadership and members updated in real time. Proactively communicate progress and flag blockers early, rather than getting stuck silently on a single ticket.

• Language Proficiency: Upper-Intermediate+ English (B2/C1) with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• High Autonomy & Ownership: Strong self-management skills — you take full responsibility for your commitments, track your own time, and deliver results without constant supervision.
• Resourceful Problem-Solving: A "solution-first" mindset with the drive to research internal documentation, AI tools, and knowledge bases to solve issues independently before asking for help.
• Fast & Self-Driven Learning: Ability to quickly absorb complex concepts, adapt to new processes, and continuously learn from feedback with minimal hand-holding.
• Adaptability: Comfort navigating frequent changes, fast-paced environments, and evolving priorities without losing focus.
• Tech & AI Literacy: Proficient computer skills and a rapid learning curve for software; hands-on experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, prompt engineering, or automation tools) is a strong plus.
• Empathy & Customer Orientation: Genuine empathy with strong interpersonal skills; prior customer service or support experience is a major plus.

• Working schedule 5/2 – 15:30 to 24:00;

We believe that everyone should be paid based on their qualifications, experience, and the work that they do, and not on their gender, race, or any other personal characteristic. Our compensation practices are essential to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where we value the contributions of all our employees.
