Member Advocacy Manager

Virta Health is on a mission to transform type 2 diabetes and weight-loss care. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes in 100 million people.

Our Member Advocacy team offers support for our current and prospective members, both behind the scenes, as well as on the front lines. Our front line associates communicate via live chat, email, and outbound phone support and our back of house associates assist with manual processes, such as insurance validation and lab transcriptions.

The right fit will be someone who is passionate about excellent Customer Service, has experience scaling a team to meet demand, and is excited about the opportunity to be a hands-on leader.
