Compensation: $26$28/hour (Full-Time)

About Us

Zcalo Health is a tech-enabled, community-oriented primary care organization serving people who have historically been underserved by the one-size-fits-all healthcare system. We partner with health plans, providers, and community organizations to deliver culturally competent primary care, behavioral health, and social care.

Our model is built for populations with high medical and social complexity, where fragmented care drives poor outcomes and unnecessary cost. We combine local, community-based teams with virtual care and modern technology to deliver coordinated, whole-person care where members live and receive support.

Founded in 2021, Zcalo Health is backed by leading healthcare and mission-aligned investors and is scaling rapidly across states and populations. We are building a durable care platform designed to perform in constrained healthcare environments and to lead the shift toward accountable, value-based care.

Role Description

This role focuses on direct member engagement, enrollment conversations, same-day registration, and follow-through to care connection. Member Acquisition Specialists are deployed strategically across community partner sites, referral locations, and Zcalo-hosted community events to maximize enrollment outcomes and member conversion.

Success in this role is measured by enrollments, registration quality, conversion rates, follow-up execution, and the ability to build trust that results in members connecting to care.

This is a highly accountable, performance-driven role for individuals who are comfortable initiating conversations, guiding individuals through enrollment processes, overcoming barriers to care, and working independently in community settings.

This position reports to the Market Growth Manager.
