Wellist
Overview
Join to apply for the
Senior Manager, Patient and Employee Experience
role at
Wellist . At Wellist, we support people through life's most complex moments—whether they're navigating cancer treatment, caring for an aging parent, or simply trying to manage the day-to-day. Every interaction matters. As our
Senior Manager, Patient and Employee Experience , you'll be accountable for making sure every one of them is exceptional. We're looking for a high-empathy, high-accountability leader who's as comfortable jumping on the phones as they are setting strategy. You will own our frontline Support Center operations and Patient Ambassador program—ensuring every patient or employee is connected to the right resource with urgency, clarity, and care. This is not a behind-the-scenes role; you will set the tone for our team and directly shape the experience of every user we serve. What You'll Own
Hands-On Execution
This is a see one – do one – teach one environment. You will roll up your sleeves at our Copley Boston office five days a week, eight hours a day—answering calls, resolving cases, and stepping in wherever help is needed. You will know the operations inside and out, using that knowledge to build better systems and directly improve outcomes. Travel to Connecticut (minimum 1-2 days a month) to shadow, support, and coach our Patient Ambassadors—ensuring every patient interaction meets our highest standards. End-to-End User Excellence & Escalations
Guarantee a high-quality, personalized experience for every employee and patient we support. Serve as the point of escalation for complex or sensitive situations—resolving them thoroughly and with compassion. Identify user pain points, streamline workflows, develop new training models, and continuously refine scripts and protocols. Put in place scalable systems and refine processes to drive greater efficiency and elevate the quality of operations. Partner with client executives to ensure alignment with clinical, operational, and safety priorities. Deliver clear, timely client communications and trainings as needed. Performance-Driven Team Leadership
Set, track, and uphold clear service standards (e.g., response time, satisfaction scores, enrollment metrics). Manage daily team schedules and coverage to support both proactive and inbound outreach. Lead daily huddles and regular performance reviews; use each interaction as a chance to coach and improve. Model excellence—showing your team exactly what "great" looks like and constantly raising the bar. Team Development & Coaching
Provide real-time 1:1 coaching for Wellbeing Specialists (Boston) and Patient Ambassadors (Connecticut). Create development plans that help each team member grow—and ensure those plans align with company needs. Lead hiring, onboarding, and ongoing training as the team scales. What Success Looks Like
