Program Account Manager Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

INTERLINK Health Services founded in 1995 and headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon.    IKNTERLINK's CancerCARE Program is experiencing rapid growth and is seeking to add two additional Account Managers to the client relations team.   INTERLINK is well known in the managed care industry as the leader in outcome-based managed care, providing access to the nation's finest centers for cancer, bone marrow, and solid organ transplant services. 

Job Description:

This is a full-time position with the CancerCARE Client Relations team at the INTERLINK Hillsboro, Oregon office.      There are approximately 500 employer groups offering the CancerCARE program to their employees as a benefit.    Most employers have consultants who recommended and helped install CancerCARE and they are our primary contacts to communicate with.    Consultants are social and respond better to email coupled with phone communication, so we are building an Account Management Department to provide service the way our clients best communicate.

This is not a sales position, although CancerCARE Account Managers will be coordinating with the sales, operations and on-boarding teams.  The primary functions will be to maintain supportive communication with brokers, the HR directors at the employer and facilitate communication with other INTERLINK teams.     Attention to detail is important, willingness to communicate with clients on the phone and follow-up are job essentials.   

Account Management can be exciting for those who like to perform a wide range of client pleasing tasks.   Healthcare is stable and growing, even in a pandemic.   People who transition into healthcare seldom leave because of the professional work environment.   

This position (seeking to fill two new employees in this position) will be joining the existing Client Relations Team that comes with a strong work ethic, consistent project completion and follow through.

• Plans should have a predictable number of new cancer patients, so Account Managers will run reports for expected volume and communicate with brokers about plans with higher than expected and lower than expected newly identified cancer patients.  
• Brokers will have questions, and the Account Managers will be their primary contact to gather information and/or complete the task that they require.
• Account managers will have between 100-150 employer groups that will renew and/or need annual servicing sometime over the balance of the year.    We would like quarterly contact.   Some will be inviting our clients to webinars and educational programs.
