About the Role

Are you looking for a hybrid role where you can make a meaningful impact while enjoying work-life balance? We're seeking a Hybrid Customer Care Coordinator to join our mission-driven team supporting patients and healthcare partners nationwide.

This is an entry-level position, perfect for individuals with experience in customer service, insurance, or front desk environments - your people skills and problem-solving abilities can easily transfer to this role!

What You'll Do

• Serve as a key connection point for patients, physicians, and partner facilities - handling questions, updates, and issues professionally and compassionately.
• Manage order details, shipments, and account data across multiple computer systems while maintaining accuracy.
• Support patients every step of the way, ensuring a smooth experience from first call to final follow-up.
• Process payments, monitor accounts, and communicate with patients regarding billing or order updates.
• Collaborate daily with internal teams (Finance, Quality, Business Development, Lab) to ensure all steps are completed efficiently.
• Participate in a hybrid workflow, alternating between remote and in-office collaboration to maximize efficiency and connection.
• Handle a mix of inbound and outbound calls to schedule, resolve, and follow up with patients and partners.
• Proactively identify process improvements and contribute to a culture of service excellence.

What You'll Bring

• At least 1 year of experience in customer service, retail, hospitality, front desk or call center environments.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills - you know how to de-escalate situations and create positive experiences.
• Strong computer literacy; comfortable using multiple screens, databases, and Microsoft Office tools.
• Great organizational and time management skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to thrive in a hybrid setting, managing independent work and in-person collaboration seamlessly.
• Reliability, professionalism, and a positive attitude when supporting patients and partners.
• Flexibility to work rotating weekends or evenings when needed.

Why You'll Love Working Here

At Vital Tears, we're proud to offer a hybrid environment that values teamwork, flexibility, and purpose. You'll be part of a compassionate, fast-growing team that supports patients nationwide - and you'll do it while balancing remote work and meaningful in-office collaboration.

• We cover health, dental, and vision insurance for all full-time employees.
• Enjoy an amazing benefits package designed to support your well-being and work-life balance.
