Customer Success Associate - Life Sciences

This is a fully remote role within the United States.

The Role

The Customer Success Associate (CSA) role is a critical position within the Turquoise Health Customer Success team, designed to prepare team members for advancement to the Customer Success Manager (CSM) role. CSAs are involved in key areas that bridge customer support with strategic account management, and lead projects which ensure that customers receive value while engaging with the Turquoise Health platform and product suite. This role serves as the foundation for developing the competencies required to be successful in the CSM role at Turquoise Health, including strategic account management, revenue forecasting, customer engagement, effective communication, and retention strategy.

To be successful in this role, it is recommended that you have prior customer success experience with customers in the life sciences field (e.g. pharmaceuticals, medical devices), and have fluency with claims, coverage, and billing data. Additional consideration will be given to candidates with experience in Market Access, Contracting & Pricing, or Field Reimbursement roles. As a baseline we are looking for candidates to have a general knowledge of supporting customers in the SaaS space.

We strongly encourage BIPOC, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks to apply for any open roles of interest. Building a truly diverse team is a challenge that we do not shy away from. Healthcare affects all people differently, but it significantly affects those in underserved communities. With a robust, diverse team, we are stronger and better equipped to change the future of healthcare for all.

• Risk Management: Proactively identify and communicate potential customer churn risks and collaborate with the team to devise preventative strategies.
