About The Position

Geode Health is a rapidly growing, national provider of outpatient mental health services. Our mission is to empower our patients to live healthier, more rewarding lives through accessible, affordable, and effective mental healthcare tailored to their needs. Our Patient Support Center is the front door to that care, often a patient’s first human connection with Geode and the first step in removing barriers between someone seeking help and the provider who can support them. The Team Lead, Patient Support Center is a supervisor-level role responsible for supporting day-to-day operations, team performance, and service quality across the Patient Support Center. This role helps lead Patient Support Specialists as they convert high-intent inbound calls, referral callbacks, and web leads into scheduled first visits, while also supporting a smaller volume of established patient call handling and routing hand-offs. The Team Lead serves as a hands-on coach, escalation resource, and operational partner to the Manager, Patient Support. This person helps ensure the team meets expectations for answer rate, service level, conversion, quality, documentation, after-call work, and patient experience while supporting a positive, accountable, and growth-oriented team culture.
