We're on the lookout for an Operations Specialist to join Thatch. This role is vital for our company — you'll spearhead a multitude of projects and develop processes internally and externally to help Thatch’s Operations team scale. The Carrier Operations team sits at the crux of health insurance carriers, support, product and engineering. Our goal is to make healthcare simple for each and every member who joins our platform. In an industry like the US Healthcare system, the ability to make the process simple and effective can be a daunting task and we are looking for someone willing to tackle this head-on.
This role will aim to drive Operational OKRs to their completion, help build out product functionality to better fit the healthcare system landscape, spearhead carrier integration projects internally and externally and ensure our enrollment and payment processes are designed for scalability. In this dynamic startup environment, you'll grow alongside the company, taking on increasing levels of responsibility as you demonstrate success. The ideal candidate will be extremely action-oriented with not only a willingness to get their hands dirty but also an ability to take a step back and see the forest through the trees driving meaningful change. They will shape their conversations intentionally to be more effective with different stakeholders. They will be able to build successful relationships and processes with defined success metrics. Lastly, they will be unsatisfied with the status quo and will seek to push the limits on what is perceived as possible.
