Why do we need this role

Our customer base is rapidly expanding so we now need someone owning all frontline customer tickets.

Today customer tickets typically fall under a few buckets:

1) Operational/logistical questions around patient lab orders and results

2) API/integration related questions

3) General support queries such as billing, new product features. etc (~10%).

Right now, customer support is being managed by a few different team members, including Lab Operations team, our dedicated Customer Engineer Tiffanie, and Naiara in Customer Success.
