What You’ll Do

Patient Support & Communication

• Patient Inbox Management: Monitor and manage the Kustomer inboxes, triaging and

responding to patient inquiries related to medication shipments, dosing questions,

treatment concerns, appointment scheduling, and general support.

• Compassionate Communication: Provide personalized, empathetic support to patients

through text and email. Many patients are experiencing anxiety, depression, or PTSD —

your tone and responsiveness matter.

your scope, empowering them with knowledge about their conditions and treatment

plans.

• Conflict Resolution: Proactively manage and resolve patient concerns with a positive,

solution-oriented approach, aiming to enhance patient satisfaction and trust.

adjustments, treatment milestone reviews, and re-engagement outreach for patients who

have lapsed in communication.

Triage & Escalation

• Message Triage: Assess incoming patient messages for urgency and type, routing

clinical concerns to care team nurses or providers as appropriate.

• Medical Terminology: Apply your understanding of medical terminology to accurately

categorize and escalate patient messages — knowing when something needs clinical

attention vs. when you can handle it directly.

• Suicidality Protocol Adherence: Follow established suicidality protocols with precision,

ensuring timely identification, documentation, and escalation of at-risk patients in

coordination with the clinical team.

Administrative & Logistical Support

• Scheduling Support: Facilitate the scheduling of consultations and follow-up

appointments for patients.

• Shipping Coordination: Assist with shipping-related inquiries, medication refills, and

logistics coordination to ensure patients receive their prescriptions on time.

• Pharmacy Liaison: Act as a bridge between patients and the pharmacy to address and

resolve medication-related issues.

• Patient Portal Guidance: Guide patients through the Be.Joyous patient portal for

appointment scheduling, treatment updates, shipment tracking, and resource access.

Collaboration & Process Improvement

• Interdepartmental Collaboration: Work closely with nurses, providers, operations, and

product teams to ensure seamless service delivery and a holistic patient experience.

• Process Optimization: Identify and implement opportunities to improve workflows,

patient communication protocols, and service delivery.

• Innovation: Collaborate with the product team to identify program enhancements and

features that address patient needs.

Qualifications

to convey complex information clearly and compassionately. Strong English fluency is

required.

• Emotional Intelligence: High level of emotional intelligence with the ability to handle

sensitive patient interactions with empathy and professionalism.

• Medical Terminology: Understanding of medical terminology sufficient for triaging and

escalating patient messages appropriately. You don’t need a clinical license, but you

(such as Kustomer), and operational tools.

• Problem-Solving: Excellent problem-solving abilities with a proactive approach to

resolving patient concerns and operational challenges.

• Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail in patient communication,

documentation, and task management.

• Schedule Flexibility: Willingness to work rotating shifts including weekends, US

evening hours, or overnight hours to support 24/7 coverage.

• Self-Motivation: Able to work independently in a remote environment while maintaining

high standards of quality, responsiveness, and accountability.
