The listing
Our mission is to make cancer care better for patients, providers, and payers — improving outcomes through specialized behavioral health and supportive care, embedded within oncology care teams.
A cancer diagnosis changes everything, not just a patient's physical health, and we exist to make sure their emotional needs are met alongside their treatment, not as an afterthought. We do this by partnering directly with oncology clinics and cancer centers and using the collaborative care model to bring mental health support into the room where cancer care already happens. That means patients get support earlier and more consistently and providers get a partner equipped to handle the mental health care their patients need.
Our team is built by experienced healthcare operators and executives who have built and scaled partnerships across behavioral health, oncology, and value-based care. We're a fast-growing, early-stage company, and every new partnership moves us closer to making specialized behavioral health a standard part of cancer care.
About the Role
The Patient Engagement Coordinator is the first voice a patient hears when they're referred into our program, and the person responsible for making sure that referral actually turns into care. You'll guide patients from the moment they're referred all the way through to their first intake — answering questions, building trust, walking them through consent, and getting them scheduled with a Behavioral Health Care Manager.
But getting someone to care once isn't the finish line. Patients cancel, miss appointments, or drift away for all kinds of reasons and when they do, they don't just fall off a list. They become your responsibility. You'll reach back out, understand what got in the way, and help them find their way back into the care they need.
This role is about ownership of outcomes, not just activity: every referral that becomes a completed intake, and every patient who re-engages instead of falling through the cracks, is a patient who got the care they need because of you - a win you're accountable for.
What You'll Be Doing
Own the patient conversion funnel, ensuring referrals are contacted within our SLAs to ensure timely access to care
Lead omnichannel outreach to new patient referrals, initiating contact across phone and text to introduce Protocol’s program, explain how it works, and answer patient questions to ensure patients feel supported and informed
Handle common objections and hesitations with empathy and confidence
Walk patients through informed consent and ensure documentation is completed accurately
Schedule patients for their intake session and confirm attendance, handling reminders and reschedules as needed
Work a recurring list of unengaged patients — cancellations, no-shows, and program drop-offs — to understand what got in the way and bring them back into care
Re-educate and re-motivate disengaged patients on the value of the program, re-scheduling and re-consenting as needed
Track outreach activity and outcomes in the CRM/EHR, and report on key metrics: referral-to-outreach time, outreach-to-scheduled-intake time, referral-to-scheduled-intake conversion rate, and completed intakes
Partner with the Clinical & Operations teams to hand off scheduled patients cleanly and surface recurring friction points that could improve messaging or process
What We're Looking For
Experience in a phone-based customer service, call center, sales development, or patient-facing healthcare coordination role
Comfortable being held to conversion and pipeline targets, not just call counts
Strong communicator who can educate, build trust, and overcome objections without being pushy
Organized and detail-oriented — able to manage a live pipeline of referrals and a separate re-engagement queue simultaneously
Empathetic and patient, especially with patients who are confused, frustrated, or hesitant
Comfortable with CRM/EHR systems and documenting consent accurately
Healthcare, medical sales, or patient enrollment experience a plus
Bilingual (Spanish) a plus
