About Leap
Leap is one of the fastest-growing benefits solutions and a category-defining pioneer in employer specialty pharmacy. We are reshaping how life-changing therapies are delivered and financed, ensuring patients get the treatment they need while employers finally get a fair deal.
Specialty drugs and infusions represent nearly 10% of all healthcare spend and are the fastest-growing cost category for employers. Leap tackles this challenge with a novel approach: eliminating hidden markups, expanding access to high-quality infusion providers, and bringing clarity and fairness to how therapies are priced and paid for.
We’re proud to partner with numerous Fortune 500 companies and leading TPAs. Each patient we serve creates immediate ROI: lower costs, improved access, and better care. Join us as we redefine what’s possible in specialty care.
About the Role
The Care Operations Associate is the operational backbone of member activation: the person who makes sure every administrative step between "member enrolled" and "member in treatment" gets done accurately and fast. You'll build and run the back-office processes that free our Care Guides and clinical team to focus on members-and you'll have real ownership to improve how this work gets done.
You'll be a critical link between provider offices, payers, pharmacy partners, staffing agencies, and our internal clinical team. This role reports to the Head of Member Ops. & Strategy and is ideal for a highly organized, process-minded operator who thrives when given a problem to systematize.

Keep eligibility status accurate and current for every active member in our systems
Prior Authorization
Manage medical prior authorization requests, renewals, and extensions across payers and specialty pharmacy partners end to end
Prepare and submit PA documentation, track approval status, and escalate stalled or denied authorizations before they delay care
Document & Order Follow-Up
Chase down unsigned documents and orders-following up proactively with provider offices so nothing stalls in limbo
Process incoming referrals, faxes, and clinical documents, routing each to the right place
Staffing & Shipping Coordination
Coordinate clinical staffing with staffing agencies to ensure providers are in place for each member's treatment
