Job Description:

A bit about us:

We're on a mission to change healthcare - how it's paid for, delivered, experienced. We want to put people center stage, not process or profit. We are guided by a deep belief that every person on Medicare should be treated like we would treat a member of our own family: with loving care and a profound commitment to their health and well-being.

That's why we're gathering a whole bunch of smart, big-hearted people to create a new kind of healthcare company - one that combines compassion, health insurance, clinical care, and technology seamlessly.

"We want to partner with people we love for a cause we believe in. Life is short. Join us."

A bit more about this role:

Fast turnaround times and nimble execution are key elements of how Devoted Health's operations create a differentiated member experience and adapt to evolving needs. Forecasting, capacity planning, scheduling, and real-time adjustments help us to deliver a responsive, world-class sales and service experience for our members, providers, and broker partners.

• Oversee scheduling of daily/weekly off queue activities to minimize impact on SL (i.e. training, meetings, outbound campaigns, etc.)
• Build reporting for daily/weekly/monthly summaries of events on service levels and overall performance
• Report on agent-level KPIs to improve team productivity
• Produce reporting on schedule adherence, productivity & other ad-hoc needs

Attributes to success:
