Customer Care Manager

Roughly three out of four adults who take insulin have never used a pump. Not because the technology doesn’t work — but because it has been too expensive, too complicated, or too overwhelming. Modular Medical built Pivot™ for those people: the “almost-pumpers.”

Pivot is a tubeless insulin patch pump with a full 3 mL removable cartridge and a deliberately simple interface, cleared by the FDA in April 2026 and now shipping to endocrinology practices across the country. It is only the second fully tubeless pump on the U.S. market. Our founder, Paul DiPerna, previously founded Tandem Diabetes and designed the t:slim — he started this company to solve the access problem the last one didn’t.

As our Customer Care Manager, you own what happens when a Pivot user needs help — the first call, the confused first week, the alarm nobody expected, the complaint that has to be documented correctly.

You will select, contract, and launch our external customer support partner, then build the operation around it: the call scripts, the staffing model, the escalation path, the complaint-handling discipline, the Salesforce backbone, and the metrics that tell us whether any of it is working. You’ll lead and coach the team that delivers it, and partner with our clinical group on how new patients are trained on the insulin delivery system.

This is an onsite San Diego role with real ownership. You will not be handed a finished playbook. You will write it.

Identify, contract, and launch our external customer support partner — then grow the operation as the patient base grows.

Assess staffing needs so patient and customer communications are always answered in time.

Work cross-functionally to resolve patient, customer, and product-related concerns, and carry customer feedback to the teams who can act on it — guiding product development and quality improvements.

Build the surveys and feedback tools that tell us what customers actually need, and identify the process improvements that make service faster and better as we scale.

Travel up to 10%.

Must be able to sit or stand for extended periods and occasionally lift and/or move up to 35 pounds.

Flexibility to work various shifts, including weekends, holidays, and hours beyond a regularly scheduled day.

The base salary range for this position is $90,000 – $120,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined by experience, qualifications, and internal equity, and is one component of a total rewards package that includes health and welfare benefits, paid time off, and equity participation.

Most customer care roles mean inheriting a queue, a script, and a set of metrics somebody else chose. This one means deciding what good support looks like for a product built specifically for people who were told pumps weren’t for them — and then building it from the ground up.

If you have spent your career watching people give up on a device because nobody picked up the phone or nobody followed through, this is the role where you get to do something about it.
