About The Position

IOA is at the forefront of revolutionary healthcare models, aiming to reshape how people can age in place. Their innovative models transform lives, enhance communities, and save healthcare systems millions of dollars by consistently questioning the “status-quo” and creating new ways to help aging adults and adults with disabilities maintain their quality of life. With over 23 programs, IOA aids seniors in maintaining their health, well-being, independence, and community participation. The Member Experience Coordinator serves as the welcoming front door to Compania, playing a central role in shaping the experience of individuals and families as they begin their journey with the program. This role ensures that every person connecting with Compania receives a warm, coordinated, and supportive introduction to services. The Coordinator guides prospective and current members through the early stages by answering inquiries, supporting tour and visit scheduling, and creating meaningful experiences. Given that many families reach out during uncertain or difficult moments, this role requires someone who is organized, responsive, deeply compassionate, and able to build trust from the first interaction. It blends hospitality, coordination, and program support, ensuring members and families feel welcomed, informed, and connected from their initial contact through ongoing participation in services at the Enrichment Center and broader Compania service lines.
