About Bariendo Bariendo is on a mission to cure obesity. Founded by Harvard Medical School professors, we are pioneering quick, non-surgical weight loss procedures that are 7x safer than surgery and more effective and affordable than the best medications. Our digital health platform combines telehealth, distributed clinics, and an expert care team in endobariatics to deliver lasting, affordable results for the 40% of Americans struggling with obesity. We’re growing rapidly—now in 9 cities after just 7 quarters of operations—with a vision to become the one-stop shop for obesity management, offering the most comprehensive set of interventions available online and via our distributed partner clinics. Join us to help patients reclaim their lives. About This Role At Bariendo, Health Coaches are the steady voice guiding patients through their life-changing journey—equal parts best friend, motivator, and no-nonsense guide. Partnering closely with our multidisciplinary clinical team, you’ll deliver an industry-leading cadence of calls, texts, and check-ins that keeps every patient informed, supported, and steadily moving forward. If you thrive on deep relationships, swift problem-solving, and tough-love accountability, this role is for you. In this role, you will:

• Pre-Procedure Prep — Meet patients before their big day, leading onboarding sessions to set clear expectations, build trust, and walk through logistics, goals, and concerns.
• Intensive Early Coaching — Conduct weekly goal-oriented sessions during the first month post-procedure, reinforced by timely texts and check-ins that provide support during the most vulnerable phase.
• Long-Game Accountability — Shift to monthly coaching for the following 11 months, using data, motivational interviewing, and firm-but-empathetic guidance to sustain progress and prevent relapse.
• Clinical Triaging — Identify behavioral red flags, escalate to care team members (like Registered Dietitians or Psychologists), and help patients get the care they deserve.

What We’re Looking For

• Certified & Experienced — 3+ years of health coaching experience with active certification from a nationally recognized body (e.g., NBHWC, NSHC-CHC). Experience supporting patients with obesity, weight management, or addiction is required.
• Warm, Motivational Communicator — You combine deep empathy with clear boundaries—able to coach with kindness, listen without judgment, and hold patients accountable to their goals.
• Clinical & Startup Savvy — Bonus points for experience in a clinical setting or a senior coaching role at a top obesity or digital health company. Familiarity with multidisciplinary teams and high-velocity care models is a plus.
• Tech-Comfortable & Remote-Ready — Confident using EHRs, telehealth platforms, and remote communication tools. Able to work independently while staying closely connected to a fast-moving care team.
• Fluent in Spanish (preferred, not required) — Able to communicate clearly and professionally with Spanish-speaking patients across phone, email, and text.

What Makes This Job Amazing

• Mission — Join a team of Harvard Medical School professors and healthcare innovators transforming thousands of lives. Watch our patient’s stories.
• Integrated Clinical Team — Collaborate closely with physicians, dietitians, and behavioral health experts in a high-functioning, multidisciplinary model that puts patients first.
• Foundational Role in a Growing Startup — Be part of a fast-growing, mission-oriented team. Collaborate closely with teams like Product to help shape and innovate our virtual care experience.
• High-Touch, High-Impact — You’ll be the emotional anchor for patients during one of the most vulnerable and transformative periods of their lives. Your presence makes the difference.

Total Rewards

• Competitive salary with equity in a high growth, seed-stage startup
• Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• 11 paid holidays, 15 personal vacation days, 10 wellness days
• Fully remote work
