Job Description

Title: Lifestyle Medicine Health Coach 

Location : San Francisco

About:

We are a forward-thinking health tech start-up dedicated to transforming delivery of healthcare, starting with musculoskeletal conditions (MSK). 50% of the workforce shows up to work in pain due to an MSK condition ranging from acute pain, like muscle strains, to more chronic pain. People with MSK conditions are frequently misdiagnosed and often receive passive treatments such as opioids, injections, or surgery. Many of these costly and high-risk interventions can be avoided with more modern, evidence-based approaches to preventing, diagnosing, and treating MSK pain.

Building on our work to pinpoint the underlying drivers of MSK pain, we developed a complementary program designed to identify the core factors contributing to other chronic conditions, including cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, cognitive decline, and mental-health challenges. These conditions commonly appear as comorbidities that complicate MSK care and influence outcomes.

This NBC-HWC health coach will be integral to our mission of helping members reduce or prevent chronic disease through evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine, as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). In this role, the coach will not only guide members in achieving meaningful, measurable health goals, they will also serve as a key partner to the Program Lead, shaping the ongoing evolution of our program. The ideal candidate will contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous enhancement of program strategy, systems, and resources that elevate both member outcomes and organizational impact.

Performance Indicators/roadmap:

Clinical Care: Deliver high quality compassionate client-centered coaching using motivational

interviewing, with the ability to replicate this “at scale”. Proven capacity to coach for 6-8 clients per day providing documentation and intermittent support between sessions to ensure goal tracking and attainment.  

Presentation Development: Work with our marketing and Customer Success (CS) team to provide Lifestyle Medicine program content, videos, and educational materials to increase engagement, support outreach, and sales efforts.

Communication: Demonstrates exceptional client-centered communication that fosters trust, clarity, and sustains behavior change. The coach uses NBC-HWC evidence-based communication strategies to support clients’ understanding, autonomy, and decision-making. Provide regular insights, updates, and trends to the Executive Team for program improvement opportunities. 

Problem-Solving: Analyze challenges critically and creatively, iterate on solutions continuously, and demonstrate curiosity, resourcefulness, and a strong figure-it-out mindset.

Creativity: Generate innovative solutions with business impact in mind, including support and ideas for continuous marketing of the program.

Self confidence: Passion and understanding of this area will naturally manifest in confidence when

speaking to others.

Ability to Collaborate : This role depends on cross functional collaboration and effective communication with the physical therapists, physicians, customer success team and marketing for cross-functional collaboration.
