As an Exercise Specialist, you’ll play a key role in delivering a high-touch yet scalable virtual coaching experience for patients in our Early Medical practice. This role is uniquely positioned at the intersection of program design and delivery—you will help build and operationalize a scalable exercise assessment and coaching program under the direction of the Manager of Exercise & Movement and in close partnership with the broader clinical team. Your initial focus will be to deeply understand our current high-touch assessment model and the systems, tools, and workflows that support it. From there, you’ll help translate that model into a streamlined virtual experience that retains its clinical precision and patient care quality while becoming more efficient and accessible to a broader audience. This role requires someone who can balance strategic development with hands-on implementation—someone equally comfortable mapping workflows as they are leading a virtual assessment or coaching a client one-on-one. You’ll use virtual tools to build training plans within the clinic’s exercise framework, interpret client goals and deficiencies, troubleshoot challenges, and collaborate with internal and external experts for complex cases. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team that is led by a physician to provide comprehensive care. This role serves a discerning clientele who expect exceptional service and expertise. Candidates must demonstrate emotional intelligence, professionalism, and a commitment to delivering exceptional service. Flexibility, attention to detail, and superlative communication skills are essential. We are looking for candidates with a growth mindset and a long-standing history (personally + professionally) of being recognized by others for their insatiable curiosity and desire to learn. As an Exercise Specialist, you will possess a broad view of exercise and exercise modalities. Throughout your tenure, you’ll have structured learning opportunities to expand your knowledge across emerging modalities and coaching methods.
