What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operations Support Specialist position at ExtendMyTeam?
About the role
We're on the lookout for an Operations Specialist to join the company. This role is vital for our company — you'll spearhead the operational process of streamlining enrollments and payments of the company’s members to national insurance carriers in cases where we’ve not yet built automation.
As an early member of this team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to build Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), assist with manual enrollments, interact with our Engineering team to build new operational features, engage with customers, and build relationships with our carrier partners and vendors. This role entails consistent communication with customers, external partners, health insurance companies, and nearly every internal team at the company.
The ideal candidate will be extremely action-oriented, constantly looking for ways to improve processes, and able to operate independently in a continuously evolving environment. The candidate should be comfortable being uncomfortable — new challenges arise frequently, and you’ll need to learn and gather information independently.
What you'll do
Build out and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for our internal Operations team
Manage a queue of enrollment and payment tasks from the company to insurance carriers
Engage with the Engineering and Operations teams to build internal and external tools to improve our operational efficiency as we scale
Collaborate with our customer-facing teams, including Sales, Support, and Advising, to create solutions to address distinct customer needs
Balance projects and responsibilities necessary to develop the operations function with ongoing customer needs
Work with vendors and carriers to develop new operational models as we introduce novel automation to the ICHRA space
Learn new things quickly and adapt to new processes often as we refine our workflows
Background we're looking for
A Bachelor’s degree and some on-the-job experience (may include internships)
Experience thriving in a high-paced environment
A strong growth mindset and desire to learn and improve
Well-developed organizational and writing skills
Ability to think critically and solve complex problems with limited oversight
Experience we’d be particularly excited about
A track record of success and recognition in your professional or academic career
Experience in the health insurance or benefits space
Diverse job experience; you possess a broad range of skills, can adapt to different environments, and have a proven history of making a significant impact
