🚀 The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Phone Operator / Lead Conversion Specialist to support new patient leads from the moment they reach out—primarily via phone calls and text messages—with the goal of getting them scheduled for a new patient appointment as quickly and smoothly as possible.

This role is perfect for someone who’s comfortable being on the phone throughout the day, enjoys helping people take the first step toward care, and can stay calm, organized, and empathetic while juggling multiple conversations. You’ll be the front line for inbound and outbound outreach—answering questions, helping leads book, rescheduling when needed, and handling common intake-related issues that come up before a first appointment.

We’re a fast-paced startup, so the right person is proactive, adaptable, and energized by improving processes as we scale. You’ll help reduce friction in the earliest stage of the patient journey and ensure every lead gets a clear path to care.

Important note on the “clinical” piece: This is a non-clinical role (you will not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment). You’ll focus on logistics, scheduling, and intake coordination, and you’ll route anything clinical to the appropriate team with clear documentation.

✅ Responsibilities and Deliverables

• Answer inbound calls and texts from new patient leads with clear, accurate, and timely communication

• Make outbound calls and send texts throughout the day to follow up with new leads and get them booked

• Convert leads into scheduled appointments by guiding patients through the next steps, answering common questions, and reducing drop-off

• Schedule and reschedule appointments, including managing missed appointments and helping patients get back on the calendar quickly

• Triage intake-related issues that arise before the first visit (e.g., scheduling conflicts, basic onboarding questions, communication gaps) and escalate as needed

• Provide compassionate, high-quality support with a strong focus on patient trust and satisfaction

• Maintain clean, consistent documentation of patient interactions so nothing falls through the cracks

• Track follow-ups and next steps to ensure each lead receives timely outreach and a clear outcome (booked, not a fit, no response, etc.)

• Identify recurring lead objections or friction points and share feedback to improve scripts, workflows, and conversion rates

• Work closely with internal teams to resolve issues quickly and keep the intake process moving

• Maintain a reliable, high-speed internet connection for smooth and consistent communication

• Always aim to deliver the best experience possible for our patients

🏆 You’ll Be Successful If You Are…

• Proficient in spoken and written English

• Comfortable being on the phone consistently and communicating with confidence via call + SMS

• Warm, calm, and empathetic—especially when speaking with patients who may be anxious or overwhelmed

• Highly organized, with strong follow-through and the ability to manage multiple conversations at once

• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment where processes improve frequently

• Detail-oriented and consistent with documentation and status tracking

• Able to stay firmly within a non-clinical scope while partnering effectively with clinical/ops teams

• Motivated by outcomes (appointments booked, fast response times, reduced drop-off) without sacrificing patient experience

🧰 Ideal Background and Skills

• 2+ years in a customer support, patient support, front desk, intake, call center, or scheduling role

• Experience in healthcare, telehealth, behavioral health, or a high-volume scheduling environment is strongly preferred

• Familiarity with scheduling workflows, basic insurance/intake concepts, and appointment logistics

• Comfortable using tools like Dialpad, Slack, Healthie (or similar platforms)

• The most important qualifications are empathy, communication, speed + accuracy, and operational execution
