Description

WellTheory is expanding our Health Coaching team. In this role, you’ll partner with us to deliver our proprietary care program to members. This is a full-time role with benefits, working Monday - Friday 10a-6p PST.

Who We’re Looking For

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Are passionate about reversing the autoimmune epidemic and helping people live healthier lives through sustainable behavior change
• Have experience delivering care that goes beyond traditional approaches, focusing on whole-body health and root-cause thinking
• Are curious, open to growth, and able to provide and receive feedback constructively
• Are excited to work in an innovative startup environment with autonomy and creativity
• Have a passion for holistic health and are comfortable supporting members alongside our nutrition team
• Are familiar with the autoimmune journey and can help members navigate their care through building self-advocacy tools
• Have a growth-oriented mindset, with curiosity to learn and adapt in a rapidly evolving field
   

You might not enjoy working with us if you:

• Like working in a more established, structured environment. You'll help build our company's culture, processes, and ways of working
• Don't like working with ambiguity—since we're an early-stage startup, projects and priorities shift
• Are looking for lots of guidance in your role—while our team members have a ton of expertise to share, we'll also be looking to you to take ownership and work autonomously
• Like your work to be well-defined from the get-go. We'll be looking to you to bring your own experience and perspective to help us do the right things and flag if you think we should do things differently. You will have the opportunity to bring creativity and ownership to your projects
• Prefer working only in person. We are a remote company and will have in-person events every year, but will not require employees to be in an office every day
   

What You'll Do

• Apply motivational interviewing as a core part of every member interaction—helping members work through ambivalence, build their own motivation, and commit to change on their own terms
• Partner with members to set personalized, sustainable goals and support them through behavior change using a health coaching approach
• Reinforce care plans developed by Registered Dietitians and clinical staff, helping members translate recommendations into daily habits
• Support members in adopting sustainable, anti-inflammatory lifestyle changes, addressing factors like stress, sleep, and movement
• Assess members' stages of change and readiness, adapting your coaching approach and use of motivational interviewing accordingly
• Participate in specialized training to build expertise in functional health, autoimmune protocols, and advanced motivational interviewing techniques
• Work cross-functionally with dietitians, clinicians, and the broader care team to integrate WellTheory's care model into members' lives
