About the Role

The Engagement Specialist serves as a key relationship-builder and community presence within Matter Health’s care model.

This is a highly interactive, field-based position ideal for someone who enjoys building trusted relationships, connecting with people face-to-face, and making a meaningful impact within underserved communities. Engagement Specialists work closely with operational and clinical teams to help ensure patients remain engaged, supported, and connected to care.

• Educate patients on Matter Health’s care model and help guide them through available services
• Conduct outreach through in-person visits, phone calls, and community events
• Partner closely with clinical and operational teams to support ongoing patient engagement and retention
• Help identify barriers to care and support patients with empathy, compassion, and urgency
• Track outreach activity, engagement efforts, and patient interactions within Salesforce and internal systems
• Serve as a trusted community resource and advocate for patients
• Assist with building awareness and engagement within local communities and housing sites

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of experience in community outreach, healthcare, customer service, hospitality, sales, or other relationship-focused roles
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and interpersonal skills
• Compassion for seniors and underserved populations
• Organized, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams
• Comfortable working in community-based and field environments
