Position Summary

As part of Well’s Health Content team, you’ll research, develop, and refine content into consumer-facing “stories” and produce intuitive, engaging health and wellness experiences for our diverse members who use the Well app. The content will be short-form and easy to understand but heavily research-based.

• Utilize behavioral techniques within the content to promote members’ motivational readiness, and/or self-efficacy. This includes optimizing opportunities for members to feel empowered and effective in improving health habits and managing chronic conditions.
• Take an empathetic approach to understanding the tone of written work, knowing when it’s time (and not time) to crack a joke, play it serious, or keep it neutral.
• Complete a research project on a health topic, doing a deep dive into Well’s offerings, as well as a competitive analysis.
• Take personal responsibility for keeping all Well systems and data, including sensitive member data, secure and safe, according to Well data and security policies and HIPAA guidelines.
