At Reema Health, we believe that a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to access the things they need to make their lives better. We know that life’s challenges often exist because the systems built to help are a burden to navigate. We believe building a relationship with a real person — someone who listens, meets members where they are, and understands the community’s resources — can ease those burdens and effectively connect members to health care. Reema believes that using technology to support human connection and engagement can be a lifeline for those most struggling to navigate life’s challenges. Our mission-driven and member-focused company is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Community Guide who has worked with individuals living with serious mental illness and substance use disorder, and understands the unique needs of this community. In this role, the Community Guide will be working with the multidisciplinary care team to plan and coordinate services for members.

The Outreach Specialist is the first voice a member hears from Reema Health. This telephonic role is responsible for the critical first phase of the member journey: reaching out to eligible members, introducing them to Reema's care model, building initial trust, and completing a warm handoff to a Community Guide for ongoing support. Based out of our Minneapolis, MN office, this role serves members across the United States entirely over the phone.

This role is well-suited for individuals with a background in business development, sales, or customer engagement who are energized by making connections and motivated by a mission that matters. You thrive in a fast-paced, goal-oriented environment, can build rapport quickly over the phone, and understand how to communicate with empathy and clarity. You are resilient and able to maintain your energy through the unanswered calls or rude responses along the way. You are energized by connecting with people and making a strong first impression. You believe that everyone deserves access to care, and approach every call with that conviction.
