Patient Engagement Manager

PatientPartner is a healthcare technology company transforming the way patients make life-changing medical decisions. Our platform connects patients considering a treatment or procedure with real patient mentors who have already gone through the same journey. By fostering peer-to-peer conversations, we empower patients to make more confident, informed choices while helping providers and life sciences companies improve patient conversion, adherence, and satisfaction.

We partner with leading healthcare organizations - from global pharma brands to medical device innovators and specialty practices to deliver a seamless patient experience that drives measurable outcomes.

The Patient Engagement Manager owns our patient engagement function end to end, ensuring an exceptional experience for both patients and mentors. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role that blends day-to-day patient and mentor support, program operations, compliance, and client reporting. You'll report directly to the VP of Client Success and work closely with her to onboard new clients, manage existing ones, and contribute to company-wide initiatives, including strategic planning and brainstorming.

This is a high-ownership, do-the-work role from day one - you won't be managing a team at the start. As the function grows, you'll begin managing contractors, and over time grow into leading a full-time team of Patient Engagement Managers. We're looking for someone who wants to build the foundation now and step into people leadership as we scale.
