Customer Success Lead
At Chapter, we're in build mode; majorly expanding our team while also growing as a company. We are looking for a Customer Success Lead to establish and lead both our member support and retention functions. The biggest challenge facing many Medicare advisory organizations is poor retention, with large organizations churning upwards of 40% of customers in year one. To date, our retention at Chapter has been best-in-class and more than an order of magnitude better than larger players. Your mission is to build upon this foundation and scale it with our organization. You will work closely with leadership to build and scale the team to support our existing and newly joined Medicare Members. Each year, you will be responsible for renewal/retention campaigns that have a direct impact on the bottom line and high visibility from Chapter leadership. Chapter's Member Experience team is committed to providing outstanding service to our members —many of whom are entering retirement for the very first time.

Why We Exist
Every morning, 10,000 Americans wake up and begin their first day of retirement. Chapter is re-inventing the way that Americans transition into retirement, starting with Medicare.
For most people, Medicare is boring, bureaucratic, and confusing. But it's important. If people wait too long to choose coverage, they risk life-time penalties from Uncle Sam, may need to undergo medical underwriting, or may pay out-of-pocket for 20%+ of medical costs plus prescriptions and most costs of dental, vision, and hearing.
What We Do
Our team and technology help retirees to navigate Medicare, including when and how to sign up, what specific coverage to choose, and how to maximize the benefits from their coverage.
Chapter has built industry-leading technology to help retirees save thousands of dollars on their healthcare. Our promise is simple: we want people to improve their health coverage while reducing what they pay for it.
How? Our platform searches every Medicare option available nationwide, while others search only a subset of plans, which is the norm in the Medicare market. Further, the compensation our licensed advisors earn never varies based on the specific coverage recommended or selected, even when Chapter earns no revenue.
This full search is why we find savings and benefits that others miss. It’s also one reason that we are a trusted partner of the National Council on Aging.
Our Team
Our team is high-integrity and high-horsepower with a big heart. We are software engineers, illustrators, lawyers, and former management consultants. We have worked at organizations including Palantir, TrialSpark, Ethos, Latch, and McKinsey.
We are an equal opportunity workplace. We are deeply committed to building an inclusive workplace for people of all races, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities.
