About The Position

Join us on a mission to simplify and dignify the aging experience. We are the children, siblings, neighbors, and friends of those navigating the fragmented and confusing system of long-term care. Our team is ferociously curious and relentless in our pursuit of a better system – and we are deeply committed to a sense of belonging for all, in all phases of life. We’re creating a new experience for care seekers and their families, bringing together long-term care options, non-healthcare resources, education, and human support into one place. We work hard, we have fun, we care about each other, and we share the mission. If this sounds like a place where you could thrive, join us! CareScout is a division of Genworth Financial, Inc, a Fortune 500 provider of products, services and solutions that help families address the financial challenges of aging. Our four values guide our strategy, our decisions, and our interactions: Make it human. We care about the people that make up our customers, colleagues, and communities. Make it about others. We do what’s best for our customers and collaborate to drive progress. Make it happen. We work with intention toward a common purpose and forge ways forward together. Make it better. We create fulfilling purpose-driven careers by learning from the world and each other. The Customer Service Manager will play a crucial role in delivering superior customer service to both external and internal customers. You will provide technical assistance and supervise the daily activities of care coordination for assessments which occur between policyholders, our Field Team and our Clinical Team. You will lead a small team of US based associates that handle the intake, scheduling and ongoing communication with our client’s members and are primarily working through inbound/outbound calls. You will utilize data to effectively manage the teams, leveraging the expertise of the team coordinators to meet the needs of our customers and ensure the team operates at maximum efficiency. We believe that the design of the systems that facilitate aging in the US has created a status quo in which the user bears the burden of a fragmented, intimidating, and unfair experience. At the center of this overwhelming part of life are the Aging and their caregivers' dizzying journey to find the right combination of funding and service solutions to ensure quality long- term care. Leveraging the scale and expertise of Genworth, we have created a startup with boundless energy, creativity, and agility dedicated to redesigning this system. Our goal: a single unified experience where the needs of the Aging, their families and caretakers are made frictionless, enabling a more dignified, connected and fulfilling aging journey. We are children, siblings, neighbors and friends of those navigating this fragmented experience. We are ferociously curious, relentless in our pursuit of a better system, and deeply committed to a sense of belonging for all, in all phases of life. We are working every day to be the first and only stop for those trying to understand and select the right care options to meet each person's unique set of needs. The long-term care industry—and the families and communities that depend on it—can expect us to be an advocate for quality care and a trusted guide to creating the aging journey that we all deserve. We will deliver on this promise through new technologies, solutions, and partnerships that will improve the way we age. We know we can’t deliver on our mission unless we deliver for our employees. That’s why we’re committed to creating a work environment that fosters inclusion, excellence, improvement and connection. We know each employee contributes in their own unique way and we’re dedicated to supporting every one of them to help them reach their full potential. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and all hiring decisions are based on merit, qualifications, and business need. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
