About the Role

We are a startup with a big vision and your role will be essential to our success. Youll be granted an unparalleled level of responsibility, as your efforts will literally define how many kids we are able to treat. Youll work hand-in-hand with our team to facilitate admission for hundreds of at-risk youth. Youll obsess (in a healthy way) over ensuring that every possible patient and family member feel taken care of by Charlie Health’s admissions team. This position is highly interactive and serves as a critical part of aiding our patients, as you will be their first introduction to Charlie Health.

Your responsibilities are not just operational but directly tied to our core mission - increasing the number of young people we can treat. Youll be responsible for meeting and exceeding specific admission quotas, actively driving our patient outreach and acquisition efforts. This role requires a proactive approach to engaging potential patients and families, ensuring a seamless admissions process, and adhering to strict timelines and documentation standards.
