This is a remote role with some domestic travel required for launch purposes.

Department & Position Overview:

This role will be viewed as a subject matter expert of Intake and have a wide breath of experience in driving intake and moving Patients and Caregivers to Care.

• Overcome roadblocks in the successful onboarding of caregivers and patients

• Apply compliance and process requirements for each state from the statute to the regulations, to the guides prepared on the state 
• Help improve the broader Launch process by providing a feedback loop of opportunities for improvement of the software or processes being implemented
• While this role is focused on engagement/intake processes, the Launch Operations Team cross trains all employees and the ideal candidate would develop basic proficiency in all pre and post care roles once on the team
