• Build and nurture relationships with community organizations, collaboratives, and local health partners.
• Support operations across an early-stage, high-growth healthcare startup with additional tasks as needed.

• Proven track record engaging respectfully with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
• Strong organizational and detail-oriented mindset; comfort managing multiple outreach channels and documentation systems.
• Familiarity with electronic health records platforms or similar technology-driven workflows.
• Reliable personal transportation to attend in-person events and conduct field outreach throughout Amador County.
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and community event schedules as needed.
• Authorization to work lawfully in the United States.

Why Join Zócalo Health

Zócalo Health was founded in 2021 on a simple truth: Latino communities deserve healthcare designed by and for their lived experience, not retrofitted around existing systems. We've built a healthcare model that honors cultural values, eliminates language barriers, brings clinicians into homes and neighborhoods, and treats members as partners in their own care. You'll join a team backed by leading healthcare investors, collaborate across primary care and behavioral health, and work alongside community health workers who deeply understand the neighborhoods they serve. We offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; a generous home office stipend; competitive hourly pay ($26–$28/hr) plus a $1,000 sign-on bonus; and a genuine PTO policy with six paid holidays annually.
