About the role
Community Health Worker Or Community-Based DoulaAt Malama, moms are our north star. We meet moms where they are, in real lives not ideal patient scenarios, and we design care that works for those who are historically underserved. Our Care Navigators and doulas show up as co-conspirators, not service providers — delivering presence, confidence, and calm, and treating every mom as a capable, whole person whose instincts matter. We're outcomes-driven in the truest sense: we generate evidence from every interaction, change what isn't working when the data tells us to, and measure success by whether we're transforming lives, not just completing encounters. We step into the gap for moms, for each other, and for the communities we serve — and if that's the kind of work that gets you out of bed, then this role is for you. We are seeking Community Health Workers or Community-Based Doulas to use our tools and serve our members as their Doula Navigators. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between our providers and patients, ensuring seamless execution of our policies and care protocols. If you're passionate about improving maternal health outcomes, closing equity gaps, and want to gain invaluable experience in care coordination, startup operations, and patient success, this position is for you.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
