Overview

The Manager, Patient Ambassador Experience, will help develop and manage Inizio Evoke's growing Patient Ambassador program.

We are looking for a highly emotionally intelligent professional with experience in client service, partner management, logistics, and people-focused coordination. The Manager will be the “face and heart” of the organization to patient ambassadors and a trusted advisor to internal teams and clients.

• Develop trusted, empathetic relationships with patient ambassadors; provide ongoing guidance, emotional support, and clear communication.

• Be the primary liaison between ambassadors, internal teams, and pharma clients—ensuring agreement on expectations, deliverables, compliance requirements, and project timelines.

• Oversee logistics for all patient engagements, including event preparation, travel arrangements, documentation, honoraria, and ambassador readiness.

• Develop processes, tools, and protocols that ensure a consistent, positive ambassador experience.

• Partner with internal compliance teams to ensure all interactions meet industry, legal, and ethical standards.

• Identify, recruit, and onboard new patient ambassadors to support expanding client needs.

• Manage and mentor coordinator-level support staff; manage workload, quality, and professional development.

• Track ambassador participation, program performance, and budget adherence; provide client reporting and insights.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in patient engagement, customer service, advocacy, client services, logistics, event planning, or administrative program management.

• Demonstrated ability to cultivate relationships with vulnerable or high-needs populations.

• Exceptional emotional intelligence, listening skills, and interpersonal communication.

• Strong organizational and project-management skills; experience managing multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Comfort navigating sensitive health-related discussions with professionalism and empathy.

• Experience working with or supporting healthcare, nonprofit, or advocacy organizations is a plus.

• Ability to travel as needed for events and ambassador support.
