Client Onboarding & Experience Lead in Bristol

The Client Onboarding & Projects Specialist plays a critical role within the Client Management function, ensuring new clients experience a smooth, accurate and professional transition into Healix’s Healthcare Trust and insured administration services. The post holder will coordinate all aspects of onboarding—documentation, operational setup, system readiness, MI configuration, communications, and internal alignment—acting as the central point of control for new client implementation. Alongside onboarding responsibilities, the role delivers a wide range of internal and client-facing projects. This includes reviewing and refining operational processes, supporting the development and launch of new products, enhancing MI reporting, improving the client and member experience, and collaborating with Marketing to evolve tools and communication materials. The Specialist will also support the Client Managers with ad‑hoc client requirements and short‑term initiatives requiring dedicated project support. Success in this role requires strong organisation, excellent communication, analytical ability, and a proactive approach to problem‑solving. The post holder will work closely with Commercial, Operations, Clinical, Membership, Data & Pricing, Marketing and IT to ensure Healix’s service offering continues to evolve, improve and deliver exceptional value to clients. This role can be based in either our Bristol or Esher office.
