PORTEA MEDICAL IS HIRING FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT ROLE - BANGALORE LOCATION - APPLY NOW!!!

Customer Support & Escalations Specialist

About the role

This role owns escalations and everyday queries, drives retention and satisfaction, and resolves issues early. When a fix needs another team, it coordinates across operations, clinical, finance and tech, and corrects the record, order or process step behind the issue so it does not recur. Portea's operations, clinical, support and technology teams, plus the tools and data to track every case, are there to deliver this.

What the role does

1. Owns escalations end to end Carries every escalation from first report to closed resolution, and follows up without being chased.

2. Resolves patient queries Answers questions on service, scheduling, billing and care across call, WhatsApp and email, at first contact where possible.

3. Drives cross-team resolution Turns the patient's problem into a specific ask for the team that can fix it, and pushes the case across operations, clinical, finance and tech until it is answered. Raises an internal escalation through the portal when a case needs it.

4. Handles hard conversations Stays calm with anxious or upset families and finds a practical solution when the first option fails.
