You and Your Role

At Navi, you're the beating heart of our mission. Our Care Navigators are the reason people get connected to life-changing care — fast. You'll be at the center of the action, empowered to solve real problems for real families every day, and deeply valued by both those you help and the rest of the Navi team. This isn't your standard care coordinator job. As Navi grows, there will be opportunities for your role and compensation to grow too.

Role Goal

100% of people you talk to that are looking for care should have a scheduled appointment within the next 7 days.

As a Care Navigator, you'll be the calm in the storm — triaging needs, mapping pathways to care, and sticking with individuals and families until the hand-off is complete. You'll blend empathetic support with operational wizardry, helping us scale a service that can literally save lives.

We're looking for someone who can provide coverage for some hours between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, and ideally can take some Saturday and Sunday shifts. Exact working times will be mutually agreed upon based on availability and need.

What You'll Do

1

Intake & Triage

Conduct warm phone intakes to capture clinical and social details and determine next steps.

2

Care & Therapeutic Matchmaking

Use Navi's database and your own sleuthing skills to surface the best-fit providers (think age, specialty, insurance, language, cultural competence).

3

Schedule Appointments

Book the first appointment directly, or provide a warm handoff to our partners to schedule.

4

Progress Check-Ins

Follow up at key milestones; track outcomes and patient-reported experience scores.

5

Documentation & Data

Keep meticulous notes in our CRM; tag data for insights, and develop formulas to help automate.

Navi isn't for everyone, but if this speaks to you, you'll do your best work here.

You'll Thrive at Navi If You…

  • Are action-oriented — you like getting things done, fast. We are a startup – fast is our only speed.
  • You bring momentum and urgency to your work. When the phone rings, you're the first to answer and the last to leave someone hanging.
  • Others describe you as an A player and a dynamic, focused multitasker.
  • Have a people-first mindset — you instinctively empathize, empower, validate, and show up with warmth.
  • Have experience in sales or case management — you've moved people to action before.
  • Love a good puzzle and see them as a challenge, not a roadblock: navigating insurance, provider directories, and waitlists doesn't scare you.
  • Are tech-savvy (CRM, Google Workspace, EMR/EHRs); bonus for Airtable or HubSpot chops.
  • Communicate crisply in writing and on calls.
  • Are authorized to work in the U.S. and available for coverage between 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET.

Why people call Navi

Navigators — not a chatbot — check insurance and availability, then help you book. Partners pay Navi when a match succeeds, so you pay $0 for navigation.
