About Spark Advisors

We're building healthcare tech for a system that desperately needs it.

Each year, millions of Americans deal with confusing changes to their Medicare plans that impact their prescriptions, access to care, and pocketbooks. These aren’t just inconveniences – they are potentially life-altering changes that leave seniors medically and financially vulnerable.

Independent Medicare advisors play a crucial role in guiding seniors through this complexity and helping them find the right coverage for their needs. But their ability to be effective healthcare advocates has long been hamstrung by broken tools and outdated systems.

Spark is fixing that. We’re the fastest-growing Medicare platform in the country, combining AI, an industry-leading CRM, and client services to transform how 8,000+ brokers acquire, enroll, and support clients in their local communities.

Join a talent-dense team from Square, Ramp, Yext, Oscar, and Cedar — backed by Primary Ventures and Viewpoint Ventures — that is serious about building technology to expand access to quality healthcare. We offer remote work, sabbaticals, company retreats, and other generous benefits that earned us recognition as one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces of 2025

Healthcare is overdue for innovation. Let’s redefine what its future looks like — together.

[This is an hourly contract position. ~40 hours per week for two months] 

Spark Advisors is seeking an experienced Contract Marketing Oversight Associate to own our TPMO oversight program end-to-end within the Compliance team. In this role, you will be the subject-matter owner of all marketing and communication materials submitted by our downline agency partners — from intake through final carrier approval — with the authority and judgment to approve, reject, and escalate independently. You will report to Bailey Sutherland, Compliance & QA Supervisor, with informal onboarding support from Pam Harrison. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned Medicare marketing compliance professional to run a high-visibility function and directly protect our partners and the beneficiaries they serve.

Carrier Submission & Repository Management (30%)

  • Carrier Submissions: Prepare and submit approved materials and scripts to 6-7 different health plan carriers for their review, meticulously tracking the status of each submission.
  • Repository Management: Maintain the central marketing repository, ensuring all data is accurate and relationships between agencies, vendors, materials, and approvals are correctly linked.
  • SMID Management: Request, track, and log all carrier-assigned SMIDs (Submission IDs) for each approved material, ensuring a complete record for audit purposes.

Program Oversight & Reporting (20%)

  • Lead Vendor Oversight: Own the approved lead vendor list and lead annual vendor audits to ensure compliance with CMS rules.
  • Reporting: Own production of program KPIs and metrics for leadership and carrier partners, pulling data on submission volumes, turnaround times, and approval rates, and flagging trends or risks proactively.
  • Administrative & Ad Hoc Support: Participate in cross-functional meetings with Sales, Platform, and other teams; assist with special audits, escalations, and other AEP-driven work as needed.

Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise

  • Strong understanding of, or a keen willingness to master, CMS regulations, particularly the Medicare Communications and Marketing Guidelines (MCMG).
  • Exceptional attention to detail with excellent organizational and time-management skills.
  • Ability to manage a high volume of detailed tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey compliance feedback clearly and professionally.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace and the ability to quickly learn and master new workflow management tools (e.g., Airtable).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
