About Sunbound

Company. Sunbound is building the financial OS for senior care. The current senior care payments experience is broken—it’s expensive and inefficient for operators, and confusing, time-consuming, and stressful for families. Sunbound is changing that by creating the first modern platform to handle this process from end-to-end saving operating and families time, money and effort.

Mission. Our founders were inspired to start Sunbound after seeing the pain points in our own families, and deeply care about helping one of the most overlooked groups in our population; seniors. Our mission is to make managing money for senior living easy, so our customers—operators, caregivers, and families—can focus on what really matters: providing quality housing and care.

Team. We’re a dedicated, close-knit, mission-driven team based in NYC and DC serving thousands of families across the United States and growing 30% month-over month! We are backed by top investors like Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, and others.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Customer Onboarding Specialist to join our growing team and own the resident enrollment experience from start to finish. This role is highly phone-based and focused on onboarding new payors onto the Sunbound platform, particularly seniors and their families who may be uncomfortable with online payments.

You’ll work closely with newly launched communities (typically 50–300 residents each) and will help onboard 10–15 communities per month, with the goal of achieving near-100% resident enrollment. This role requires persistence, empathy, and exceptional communication skills—you’ll be making a high volume of outbound calls, leaving voicemails, returning inbound calls, and patiently walking residents through setup step-by-step.

If you enjoy building trust, guiding people through unfamiliar technology, and turning hesitant users into confident customers, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

Resident Onboarding & Outreach

• Own the end-to-end onboarding of new residents and payors onto the Sunbound platform

• Proactively follow up until enrollment is complete, with a goal of 100% adoption
  
  

Trust-Building & Education

• Build trust with an older clientele who may feel hesitant about online payments
• Clearly explain how Sunbound works, why it’s safe, and how it benefits residents and families
• Provide calm, patient, step-by-step guidance tailored to varying levels of technical comfort
• Address concerns around security, privacy, and reliability with confidence and empathy
  
  

Ongoing Enrollment Support

• Make outbound calls to new resident move-ins at existing communities who have not yet signed up

• Maintain accurate notes, call outcomes, and enrollment status in internal systems
  
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Customer Support, Operations, and Community teams to ensure smooth launches
• Flag recurring onboarding blockers or objections and suggest process or messaging improvements

What We’re Looking For

• Strong interest in senior living, healthcare, or helping older adults navigate complex processes
• 2+ years of experience in customer support, onboarding, call-center, sales, or customer success (or 4+ years without a degree)
• Exceptional verbal communication skills and comfort spending most of the day on the phone
• High empathy, patience, and emotional intelligence, especially when working with seniors and families
• Persistent and reliable, with comfort making high volumes of outbound calls
• Ability to explain technical or financial concepts in clear, reassuring language
• Highly organized and detail-oriented with strong follow-up and documentation skills

• Tech-savvy and quick to learn new software and workflows

Nice to Have

• Experience onboarding users to a new product or platform
• Background in payments, billing, A/R, or financial services
• Call-center or high-volume outbound calling experience
• Fintech, healthcare, or senior living industry exposure

What We're Looking For

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially over the phone
• Deep empathy and patience—especially when working with seniors and their families
• Ability to resolve issues quickly, with care and attention to detail

• Strong attention to detail, especially with financial data
• Familiarity with Excel (e.g. tracking, filtering, organizing data sets)
• Working hours can vary between 9am - 8pm EST M - F

Why join us:

• Low-ego, tight-knit, collaborative, high performing team. We work closely together to drive a big impact.
• Mission-driven. We’re here to help people manage payments for something critical — care for their loved ones and to take work off of the plates of the folks providing care. We believe what we do really matters and take care and pride in doing it well.
• Meaningful work. You’ll be helping families through one of the most important transitions in life.
• Customer-first culture. We’re serious about care, quality, and every detail of the experience.
• Growth opportunity. This is an early hire with real ownership and upward potential.
• Strong backing. We’re VC-funded by firms that have backed companies like Square, Lyft, and Rippling.
