About brighthush

At brighthush, we’re redefining the way health data moves from the lab to the patient’s hands.

Why This Role Matters

Every ticket you handle is a potential life‑changing moment. When a lab order goes awry, a patient may be left waiting for critical results that could alter their treatment plan. At brighthush, we don’t just process data—we ensure that data reaches the right hands at the right time. Your work as a Customer Support Associate will be the first line of defense against delays, errors, and confusion.

As our customer base grows, so does the volume and complexity of support requests. You will be part of a Tier 1 team that manages high‑volume operational queues, resolves most issues directly, and escalates the rest with rich context. Your ability to stay calm under pressure and communicate clearly will directly impact patient care and partner satisfaction.
