Job description

Our mission: eliminating every barrier to mental health.

Spring Health is a global mental health company on a mission to eliminate every barrier to mental health. We're building a world where getting support is simple, personal, and built around the person, so care can continue through every job, move, health plan, and life stage.
As an AI-native company, we believe technology should expand the reach, quality, and humanity of care. Every Spring Health team member is expected to use AI tools thoughtfully, apply human judgement to AI outputs, and keep building AI fluency in ways that support their role and our mission.

This is a full-time, non-exempt, remote position reporting to the Senior Clinical Ops Manager of the Specialty Care Program. The Member Engagement Associate connects members to Specialty Care, primarily by working auto-dialer tickets in Zendesk.

No travel is required, though occasional on-site travel to the New York main office may be requested.

Schedule Options

1. Monday-Friday 10am-7pm ET (or equivalent in your respective time zone) with an hour lunch, OR

What You'll Do

• Work auto-dialer tickets in Zendesk and Amazon Connect as the primary focus of the role, helping members connect to Specialty Care services.

• Make proactive outbound calls, as a secondary function, to members who completed screenings or may benefit from Specialty Care, with warmth, empathy, and professionalism.

• Book members with a Specialty Care Navigator or connect them to Specialty Care services.

• Follow escalation protocols immediately when a member shares information requiring clinical attention or crisis intervention.

• Participate in 1:1s, team huddles, training, and ongoing coaching to improve queue efficiency and member satisfaction.

AI Fluency Expectations (Capable)

• Uses AI to handle higher member or case volume without a proportional increase in handling time; actively designs their work to scale throughput.

• Completed required AI enablement training; uses provided templates and frameworks.

• Reviews AI output before finalizing; can explain what the tool contributed and where human judgement was applied.
