Account Manager

About us 

Sandbar Health is building an AI-native payvider reimagining health benefits in the D.C. metro area. We are building a health plan centered around concierge primary care clinics. Our mission is to provide a radically better healthcare experience built for the modern age, while improving health outcomes for patients, and reducing healthcare costs for employers.

We are backed and incubated by Route 66 Ventures, a local VC fund inside of a family office. We have a long-term-oriented, patient capital structure, prepared to fund a multi-decade journey to improve healthcare in the DMV.

Position Summary

We are looking for a scrappy, hungry benefits professional to help manage broker and employer accounts across our product suite. The Account Management Associate will play a critical role in supporting our external stakeholders through claims and issue management, support, troubleshooting, and navigation.

What you would do

• Assist with employer and broker onboarding end to end
• Support the contracting process
• Handle the operational follow-through after go-live: eligibility discrepancies, unpaid invoices, broker commissions, service issues that need quick answers
• Keep the CRM accurate, so anyone can look at the pipeline and know what is actually true
• Build the relationship with each employer's HR and benefits contact, and check in before they have to escalate
• Learn the broker, member, and clinic sides of the business well enough to answer questions without a handoff
• Flag the work you are doing for the fifth time, and help us automate it

What we're looking for

Required

• 1–3 years at a benefits consulting firm, brokerage, or health plan
• Working knowledge of eligibility files, plan documents, and renewal timelines
• Based in the DC metro area, in person

Preferred

• Current health and life license for the jurisdictions of Maryland, DC, and Virginia.
• You have carried accounts or supported someone who did
• Comfort with spreadsheets, a CRM, and a tool set that will keep changing
• The instinct to follow up a third time when the answer matters
• Someone who likes team-based work and is excited by the ambiguity of building something early

Compensation and benefits

• Competitive compensation package ($65,000–$85,000 base salary) with potential performance-based bonus
• 401(k) with employer match
• Best-in-class health benefits

About the team 

Our team consists of some of the best and brightest across healthcare, technology, and investing. Our early team members come from Oscar Health, Cigna, DaVita, GW Medicine, Crossover Health, LinkedIn, and Omada, just to name a few. What unites us all is a passion to improve the healthcare system.

This is an opportunity to join an early-stage founding team with a huge vision. The daily work environment will be fast paced and interesting. You will feel intellectually challenged, appreciated by the people you work with, and have opportunities for rapid career growth.

This position requires current, unrestricted authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor employment visas (e.g., H-1B) for this role, now or in the future.
