Sr. Manager of Community and Wellness

At Plume, we’re on a mission to radically transform healthcare access for the transgender and gender-nonconforming communities. As a trans-founded company, we’re proud to be building a virtual care home that makes a difference in countless lives. This work is deeply personal and heart-driven, and we want teammates who, above all else, care. We offer an affirming, trans/queer-friendly, culturally inclusive work environment filled with purpose and camaraderie. Are you ready to be part of our growing team in the healthtech industry?

Available to over 1 million transgender individuals across 45 states, we’re growing fast and need passionate, talented individuals like you to join our journey and help us to increase access to life-saving Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy and improve the lives of trans folks. If you have a heart-forward approach and resonate with our values, we’d love to hear from you!

🌈 We Are Authentic: We opt for honest and direct conversations. We strive to be vulnerable and connect authentically.

🌈 We Are Accountable: We follow up and commit to each other within the community and to ourselves.

🌈 We Are Growth-Oriented: We take the initiative, we’re proactive learners, and we tackle new challenges.

🌈 We Are Inclusive: We’re considerate of working across diverse experiences. Every voice is valuable in serving our vision. We have an unusual bias for seeking input.

🌈 We Are Collaborative: We put “we” before I, we stay engaged and communicative when we disagree, and we can commit even if we’re not in complete agreement.

🌈 We Are Trans-Informed: We ask “why?” and distrust the status quo. We honor awkwardness & experimentation over polish and how things have always been done.

If our mission and values speak to you, you’re an experienced Community & Wellness Manager in healthcare, you have a passion for serving marginalized and underrepresented communities, and you have a deep understanding of the trans experience, we can’t wait to meet you!
