What you'll be part of

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we're the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare "win win" — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

About the role

We are looking for a dedicated Concierge Associate to join our member-facing team. In this role, you will serve as the front line of support for our members, acting as a trusted guide in helping them understand and navigate their healthcare benefits. You'll engage directly with members through phone, chat, and email to help them access the highest-quality care at the lowest possible cost. Your work will be a key part of delivering on Garner's mission.

This role requires more than just excellent service — we're looking for someone who can thrive in an evolving environment and is comfortable with complexity. You'll need to balance professionalism and empathy with strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret nuanced benefit and claims information. As the voice of Garner, you'll play a vital role in creating a supportive and empowering experience for each member you connect with. You would be scheduled between 8 AM and 10 PM ET, with shift preferences considered but not guaranteed. Preferences will be collected during the interview process and finalized schedules will be provided after a five-week training period.

This is a U.S. based fully remote position.

What you will do

• Deliver exceptional member support via phone, chat, and email
• Educate members on their healthcare benefits and claims, including how to maximize their Garner benefit
• Help steer members to find the best care available to them
• Handle complex and sensitive conversations with professionalism, empathy, and patience
• Deescalate members who are experiencing friction with their benefit
• Work with other departments to address cross‑departmental issues
• Identify and elevate feedback from member interactions to internal teams
• Stay up to date on evolving procedures
• Protect member privacy and maintain compliance with HIPAA and data security protocols

What you'll get here

You’ll work on problems that matter, at a company working to change healthcare at scale. You’ll work at the intersection of AI and systemic healthcare reform, where the problems we solve are as interesting and compelling as the mission.

At Garner, you’ll take on real, ambitious problems with real ownership and autonomy, alongside exceptional, principles-based people who genuinely want you to win. It's demanding by design. You’ll be challenged to stretch beyond what you thought possible and receive consistent coaching to help you grow and do the best work of your career. This isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's intentional. The people here are driven by what's at stake for real people, and that's what gives our intensity its purpose.
