About Lyra Health

Lyra is transforming mental health care through technology with a human touch to help people feel emotionally healthy at work and at home. We work with industry leaders, such as Morgan Stanley, Uber, Amgen, and other Fortune 500 companies, to improve access to effective, high-quality mental health care for their employees and their families. With our innovative digital care platform and global provider network, 17 million people can receive the best care and feel better, faster.

About the Role

The Client Support Specialist team serves as the first point of contact for clients reaching out to connect to care, get answers to general benefit questions, or explore resources when in distress. As a Client Support Specialist, you will leverage your customer experience skills, empathetic communication, and solution-oriented service to assist clients primarily by phone and chat, with some email communication to support first-touch resolution. The Specialist will also support HR Managers and Customer Representatives coordinate support for major events and team support.

This role is integral to our larger Care Navigator Team and requires interacting in a collaborative manner with our Care Advocates, Clinical Navigators, and other internal teams. This is a high volume full contact center environment, so focus on calls and chats are required as part of the role. Additionally, given the nature of mental health support Lyra provides, the Specialist will need to be comfortable discussing sensitive topics. Lyra will provide extensive training on how to support our members and meet them where they are in their care journey. Above all, this role requires excellence in customer service and a commitment to ensuring that every individual who reaches Lyra is treated with compassion and care.
