• Handle first-level patient and team concerns with empathy, escalating complex issues to leadership.

• Share feedback and improvement ideas from the field to help the team work smarter.

What we are looking for:

• 2+ years of phlebotomy experience; mobile or in-home phlebotomy a plus.

• Organized and dependable, with the ability to manage your own schedule while supporting others.

• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, clean driving record, and willingness to travel up to 25% for training and onboarding

What Success Looks Like

• Daily: You start the day with a quick team check-in, keep an eye on schedules and metrics, and close out open items before the end of day.

• Weekly: You lead team meetings, complete field check-ins, and keep direct managers informed

• Ongoing: Your team knows the standard, feels supported, and patients consistently get on-time, high-quality visits.

We have great benefits to make your life easier so you can focus on what you're best at:

• Competitive annual salary ranging $55,000-$64,000
