Founding Patient Enrollment Lead

After attempting to navigate healthcare for our own families, we started Amma with a simple question: what if every American had a healthcare advocate?

The US healthcare system is a maze, and millions of people are forced to navigate treatment options, specialists, paperwork, and follow-up care on their own. At Amma, we match patients and families directly with experienced healthcare advocates — typically nurses and care professionals — who guide them through complex medical journeys, from understanding treatment options to scheduling appointments and securing medication. Our platform empowers healthcare advocates to do their best work, so people can get the support they deserve.

We’re building Amma with urgency and ambition. Amma was founded by a team with deep experience building and scaling healthcare companies. We’re a small, high-agency team that values ownership, clear thinking, and people who want to tackle hard, meaningful problems head-on.

Our patient enrollment advisors are the first voice patients hear. They speak with prospective patients who reach out for help, listen to their stories, explain our services, and determine whether our advocacy program is the right fit.

This role sits at the intersection of consultative sales, patient intake, and healthcare navigation. The best candidates are excellent listeners who can build trust quickly while also guiding conversations toward clear next steps.

This is an inbound and outbound sales role, but success requires a thoughtful and empathetic approach. Many callers are navigating stressful medical situations, and your ability to listen, understand their needs, and quickly guide them toward the right next step is critical.
