Job description
At Sprinter Health, our mission is to dramatically expand access to healthcare by reimagining the patient experience—delivered at home and powered by technology for scale.
We’re looking for a Call Center Systems Administrator who is passionate about building patient-first communication systems. This role is at the heart of how patients and providers connect with Sprinter — from scheduling and support, to clinical escalations, to follow-up care. You’ll combine technical expertise with a strong focus on patient engagement, ensuring our platforms (Five9, Zendesk, and others) deliver seamless, reliable, and compassionate experiences at scale.
This is a 6 month temporary employee role (includes health benefits), and we will consider extending or converting to regular employee if appropriate.

As a Call Center Systems Administrator, your mission will be to design, optimize, and scale Sprinter’s call and support infrastructure so every patient feels cared for and every clinician feels supported.

- Performance & resilience: Monitor system performance, analyze call flows, and implement proactive measures to minimize incidents and ensure service continuity.
- Analytics & insights: Develop and maintain Five9 dashboards, wallboards, and scheduled reports for stakeholders to track call resolution rates, patient wait times, agent efficiency, abandonment rates, and satisfaction metrics (NPS, CSAT).
- Compliance & security: Uphold HIPAA standards and ensure secure handling of PHI/PII across all communication workflows.
Outcomes + metrics you will directly influence:
