Our Patient Support Solutions team supports eligible cancer patients and their caregivers through their CAR-T journey. We are deeply committed to providing patients/caregivers with an exceptional service experience, so they are well-positioned for treatment and to receive care.

The Patient Support Specialist must be service-oriented and have the ability to drive insights and operational enhancements in a dynamic environment, while remaining forward-thinking to proactively and reactively respond to patient/caregiver needs. A successful candidate must have excellent communication and critical thinking skills. The role represents a unique opportunity to directly assist patients/caregivers in close partnership with internal and external supplier partners.

A Day in the Life

Every patient’s healthcare experience is unique - shaped by personal experiences and beliefs, the presence or absence of support networks, provider and payer dynamics, and socioeconomic factors. For many patients, the decision to initiate CAR-T treatment is personal. J&J Innovative Medicine recognizes this, and wants to create an experience that is empathetic, supportive, and personalized to the patient and caregiver needs.

Key roles and responsibilities include:

• Perform day-to-day call center activities which include welcoming eligible patients to the program, travel and logistics arrangements, and incidental reimbursement while managing the CAR-T patient throughout their treatment journey
• Serve as the point person for a select number of patients/caregivers in supporting their treatment through an online case management system

• Responding to inquiries from patients/caregivers/treatment center sites regarding the patient support service offerings using a call guide resource
• Handle administrative tasks related to travel and logistics requests, often on short notice, while maintaining composure and providing support to the patient and caregiver
