Who are we and why should you join us?
BetterHelp is on a mission to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Founded in 2013, we are now the world’s largest online therapy service, providing affordable and convenient therapy in across the globe. Our network of over 30,000 licensed therapists has helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and change their lives forever. And we’re not stopping there – as the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to being part of the solution.
As the Customer Experience Specialist at BetterHelp, you’ll join a diverse team of licensed clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. And as a mental health company, we take employee mental health just as seriously as we do our mission. We deeply invest in our team’s well-being and professional development, because we know that business and individual growth go hand-in-hand. At BetterHelp, you’ll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.
What are we looking for?
We’re seeking a Customer Experience Specialist who thrives on delivering white-glove support to both providers and clients navigating our mental health platform. You’ll be at the intersection of customer service, operations, and healthcare; solving complex insurance and billing questions, helping providers onboard smoothly, and ensuring clients receive timely, compassionate assistance. You must be empathetic and solutions-driven, with the ability to clearly communicate insurance benefits and troubleshoot multi-step issues across tools and teams.
The ideal candidate is proactive, collaborative, and deeply invested in providing an outstanding experience that aligns with our mission of accessible mental health care.
What will you do?
Interact with clients and providers through omni-channel support (phone, email, text) with empathy, clarity, and care.
Respond to insurance, billing, and claim-related questions, translating complex concepts into easy-to-understand terms.
Serve as a key liaison between clients, providers, and our internal revenue cycle and operations teams.
Support providers post-onboarding with updates to their accounts, troubleshooting platform issues, and resolving concerns.
Assist clients with booking providers, verifying insurance benefits, and navigating therapy access.
Partner with our technology and operations teams to surface customer insights and improve processes.
Collaborate cross-functionally to identify trends, close loops on feedback, and enhance the experience at every touchpoint.
What will you NOT do?
- You will NOT worry about “runway”, “cash left”, or “how much time we have until the next round”. We have the startup DNA but we’re fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
- You will NOT be confined to your “job”. You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
- You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
- You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.
Can I work remotely?
Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply. We ask employees to travel to our San Jose, CA office up to three times per year plus one company-wide offsite to collaborate in person and strengthen working relationships. Travel expenses are covered and reasonable accommodations are made for those under unique circumstances who cannot travel.
