Who you are

- Demonstrated success in workforce planning/rotas, intraday management, and scaling teams
- Experience handling public‑facing social care, complex escalations, and service recovery (healthcare/wellbeing or similarly sensitive domains a plus)
- Inspiring people leader who builds leaders, not just manages; expert in coaching and feedback
- Strong operational thinker: comfortable with forecasting, metrics, and dashboards, and turning data into action
- Excellent judgement on tone, timing, and privacy — especially in high‑visibility or sensitive scenarios
- Deep familiarity with Zendesk (or similar), queue management, tagging, macros, views, and reporting
- Member‑first mindset with a hospitality‑led approach; balances speed with care and policy with empathy
- Calm, organised, and effective under pressure; communicates clearly and decisively
- Experience building QA frameworks, response playbooks, or Help Centre content at scale
- Exposure to clinic/field operations or luxury/hospitality‑led service models
- If you are passionate about building a better healthcare system for everyone and you thrive in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you!
What the job involves
- As Customer Care Manager for the US, you will lead and scale a high‑performing, hospitality‑led support organisation across email, phone, text/SMS, and social
- You will manage both Team Leads and frontline Agents and ensure our SLA, QA, CSAT/NPS, and FCR targets are consistently met or exceeded
- You’ll be accountable for people leadership, workforce planning, quality systems, tooling and process improvements, and cross‑functional alignment with Clinics, Operations, Product, and Marketing
- While this is a strategic role, you’ll remain lightly hands‑on for complex escalations, high‑visibility social responses, and coaching‑by‑example
- You build a team environment rooted in trust, open communication, and shared accountability, with hospitality‑led service at its core
- People Leadership & Culture:
- Hire, onboard, and develop Team Leads and Agents; set clear expectations and defined growth paths
- Run structured 1:1s, coaching programs, QA calibrations, and performance reviews; upskill Team Leads to be strong, effective coaches
- Build a high-trust, accountable, hospitality-led team culture where feedback is candid, ownership is clear, and standards are lived daily
- Partner with the Head of Customer Support & Hospitality and the People team on capability building, retention, and succession planning
- Experience & Operational Excellence:
- Translate strategy into clear, scalable playbooks, SOPs, and policies
- Define and evolve escalation frameworks (member, clinical, brand/social) to protect trust and enable fast resolution
- Drive continuous improvement by reducing avoidable contact, simplifying journeys, and improving first-time clarity
- Performance, Quality & KPIs:
- Own and manage targets across SLA, response and resolution times, QA, CSAT/NPS (support interactions), FCR, backlog health, and social responsiveness
- Lead weekly and monthly performance reviews; translate insights into concrete actions (coaching, workflow changes, macros, self-serve content)
- Ensure high documentation standards and audit-ready case notes; uphold data accuracy across systems
- Workforce Management & Rotas:
- Own capacity planning, forecasting, and rota design across channels, locations, and clinic hours
- Manage intraday operations with Team Leads, including coverage, skilling, queue rebalancing, and rapid response to volume spikes
- Track and optimise occupancy, adherence, shrinkage, and schedule effectiveness while protecting agent wellbeing
- Tooling, Systems & Content:
- Maximise the value of Zendesk (or equivalent), telephony, SMS, and social moderation tools; develop views, tags, macros, and dashboards that drive action
- Partner with the Head of Support & Hospitality and Product/Tech to prioritise automation and tooling that improves quality, speed, and consistency
- Own Help Centre/FAQ strategy and social response guidelines to reflect member needs and reduce repeat contact
- Cross-Functional Partnership & Escalations:
- Act as the primary Support counterpart to Clinics, Operations, Product, and Marketing; align on launches, policy changes, and communications
- Own high-impact clinic escalations and brand-visible social cases; ensure safe transition from public to private channels and full loop closure
- Share structured Voice of the Member insights and complaint themes to inform product roadmap and training
- Risk, Compliance & Safety:
- Ensure adherence to data handling and privacy standards across all support channels; keep SOPs current and followed
- Maintain clear incident and escalation pathways for time-sensitive or high-risk member, clinical, or reputational issues
- Lead post-incident reviews and embed learnings into processes, tooling, and training
Our take
Neko Health is a preventative healthcare technology company dedicated to establishing a healthcare system centred around preventive measures and early detection.
The company's medical scanning technology aims to enhance health data collection by providing a broad and non-invasive approach that is both convenient and affordable for the public. Conducted in just 10 minutes, the scan utilises over 70 sensors to gather 50 million data points, enabling healthcare professionals to detect diseases at their early stages, including skin conditions/cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes.
The Swedish brand recently brought its body-scanning suite to London and raised significant funding, signalling a strong future of growth. With this funding, the company is now focused on expanding even further, hoping ti bring its technology to the US once it receives the necessary regulatory approvals. By bringing accessible and efficient preventive healthcare to the forefront, Neko Health seeks to enable individuals to take proactive control of their health and well-being, contributing to a healthier and happier society.
