Member Experience Specialist - San Francisco

About Thatch

For most people, health insurance is something that happens to them: a plan chosen by someone else, with little room to fit their life. Thatch is changing that. We help companies give every employee a real healthcare budget instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, so people can choose the coverage and care that works for them, and employers get predictable costs they can control.

It’s a simple idea, but making it real means solving hard problems across healthcare, payments, and technology, and we’re just getting started. We look for people who like solving complex problems, use good judgment, and are comfortable working through ambiguity. People here care deeply about our customers, take real responsibility for what gets built, and are driven by doing work that matters.

About the role

We're hiring a Member Experience Specialist based in our San Francisco office to support Thatch members — the people at the heart of our platform — and ensure they can access and navigate their healthcare with confidence.

You’ll be the human element of Thatch, serving as a trusted point of contact for members across their member journey. You’ll educate new members on their benefits, help solve complex problems that emerge in the healthcare experience, and ensure our members feel supported in challenging moments.

You will also play a key role in identifying patterns, surfacing issues, and escalating bugs or edge cases to the appropriate teams to ensure customer issues get addressed quickly. You will partner closely with Operations, Engineering, Customer Success, and Product to ensure issues are resolved effectively and do not recur.

Beyond day-to-day support, you will work with Operations and Product to improve the systems behind the scenes and strengthen the overall member experience. This includes contributing to more scalable support workflows, improving documentation, and identifying opportunities for automation over time.

What you'll do

Provide high quality frontline support to members via email and phone channels, responding to questions and resolving issues related to benefits, insurance, and other core workflows supported by the Thatch platform

Meet designated SLAs and success metrics that define our best-in-class support team

Own support issues end-to-end, ensuring fast and empathetic responses and comprehensive solutions

Identify recurring issues and partner with cross-functional teams to address root causes

Help improve internal processes, support documentation, and team resources that drive the Member Support team’s internal efficiency and member experience outcomes

Coordinate with Employer Support and other Operations teams on issues that touch cross-functional workflows

Background we're looking for

1-4 years of experience in customer support, healthcare or health tech services, or similar member-facing role

Excellent written and verbal communication skills – you can break down complex concepts to new audiences and drive clarity in high stress situations

Strong motivation to work at the intersection of health tech and fin tech, supporting a highly complex product

Ability to work effectively with Operations, Product, and Engineering teams to resolve customer issues and improve the customer experience

Proven ability to perform under pressure – you can do great work while moving at a high velocity

Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area, with the ability to work on-site

Experience we’d be particularly excited about

Experience supporting health insurance, ICHRA, or complex financial/compliance products

History of proactively building customer-facing resources (help articles, videos, templates) that reduce support volume

Demonstrable pattern of receiving exceptional customer feedback and serving as a quality benchmark for peers

What to expect

We interview rigorously based on integrity, talent, and drive; the trust we display in our teammates from day 1 is a reflection of the confidence we have in this process. We aim to evaluate the things you’ll be doing every day as best we can, and we move quickly. Here's what to expect:
