• Use member insights and feedback to collaborate with the product team and clinical leadership to refine the solution and member experience.

What you need to have:

• Passion about our missing to transform mental health care delivery
• Passion for working directly with people in an empathetic and compassionate way
• PhD / PsyD in Clinical Psychology; preference given to Health Psychology specialization
