DTP Specialist

About Avantpage

At Avantpage, we help immigrant and Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities access the healthcare and public services they need, in their own language. We’re a multicultural team spread across the Americas and Europe, and we live by three values: empathy, innovation, and rigor.

• Give the Operations team time estimates and answer their DTP questions.
