About The Position

This is a hands-on operations seat at the center of how Clasp delivers every day. You will own frontline execution across customer support, employer implementations, carrier connections, ACA compliance work, and other new verticals, partnering directly with our BizOps and R&D teams to keep the machine running and to make it run better.

As we scale, you help hire and mentor the Operations team and help scale the Support / Implementation function at Clasp.

Requirements

2-4 years in operations, support, implementations, or account management at a fintech, HR-tech, benefits, insurance, or similar operationally-intensive company
High ownership: you chase issues to resolution across email threads, carrier portals, and spreadsheets without being asked twice
Sharp written communication: you will spend much of your day writing to employers, partners, and carriers, and precision matters
Comfort with messy data: confident in spreadsheets (lookups, pivots, data cleaning); SQL or scripting is a plus, not a requirement
Process instinct: you notice when the third ticket looks like the first two and go fix the root cause
Thrives on volume and pace: this is a doing role at a fast-moving startup, and the work is concrete, daily, and measurable

Responsibilities

Customer support: own the support queue end to end: triage, investigate, resolve, and escalate issues across employers, partners, brokers, and carriers, hitting our SLA and quality targets
Implementations: onboard new employer groups: collect and validate censuses and plan documents, configure plans and rates, run enrollment data quality checks, and coordinate go-live with partners
Carrier connections: stand up and maintain EDI and API feeds: manage carrier and vendor build queues, work discrepancy reports to resolution, and keep connections healthy after go-live
ACA and compliance: run the ACA implementation process, data collection and reconciliation, and filing review cycles alongside our compliance tooling and vendors
Process building: document what you learn into runbooks and SOPs, spot the recurring failure modes, and work with BizOps and engineering to automate them away
Cross-functional support: be the operational voice into R&D: reproduce bugs, define edge cases, test fixes, and translate customer pain into product requirements
