As we continue to grow, it will be crucial for you to ensure that our support systems and processes are scalable. You will be working most closely with our customer support (at Euc, our “Patient Experience (PX)” team), but you will also work cross-functionally across multiple operational workstreams.

Your efforts will help to ensure that patients receive seamless, high-quality care and support, while improving efficiency behind the scenes.

• Tackle Complex Issues: Take charge of high-impact patient escalations, working cross-functionally to resolve issues and ensure long-term operational fixes.
• Support Growth: Help design and implement frameworks that enable the PX team to scale as Eucalyptus continues to expand.

About You (Skills and Experiences)

• 3+ years of operational experience, ideally in healthcare, another highly regulated industry, or customer-focused startups, with a preference for those with direct experience in patient support.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly diagnose issues and implement solutions that are data-driven; you should be highly adept at modelling solutions in Excel / Google sheets.
• Exceptional communication skills—you’re able to articulate solutions and processes to internal teams and explain complex issues to patients in an empathetic way.
• Adaptability: Thrives in fast-paced environments and can shift priorities quickly, while maintaining high attention to detail.
