Job Description

Our purpose is to serve the nation with the single most trusted and capable health information network, built to increase patient safety,lower costs and ensure quality care.

What You're Like


You're energized, enthusiastic and relationship-focused. You love coming up with creative new ideas and you're eager to make a positive impact with your career. You're an active listener and a proactive problem solver. You're organized, articulate and reliable. You have a customer service mindset, and will do whatever is needed to help your customers succeed.

What We're Like


Surescripts Customer Group is a super-fun team full of smart, ambitious and genuine people (yes, real humans). We're a tight-knit group that feels a bit like a family (in mostly good ways), and we value trust and communication big-time. We're hungry to make a difference to the healthcare system, and we do it by focusing intently on our customers. While most companies merely talk the talk, we walk the walk-we truly put our customers at the core of everything we do, and each of us embodies this "customer-first" mindset in our own way.

OK, But Here's What It's Really Like


Working at Surescripts Customer Group, you'll be challenged by the nature of being in a network business and not rigidly categorizing or defining your customers. With so many customers with so many unique needs, you'll have to deliver solutions that are appropriate for each. You'll need to know them really well, and you'll be expected to respond differently to one customer versus another. You'll always be striving to create a truly customized experience with thoughtfully tailored and differentiated services.
