Weekend Intake Coordinator

📌 About Alpaca Health

Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care.

We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is simple: shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians.

We've raised over $14M in funding from early-stage investors like Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures, and South Park Commons, and are building for long-term category leadership. More importantly, we're serving hundreds of patients, while growing 30% MoM.

🎯 Role: Intake Coordinator

We are hiring a Bilingual Intake Coordinator (Spanish/English) to guide families from first contact through the start of care. You will own all intake activity over the weekend, a time when families are typically most available to start their ABA journey.

You will be the front door to Alpaca, owning the intake experience end-to-end, navigating insurance complexity, and ensuring every family is set up for success. This role requires empathy, precision, and the ability to move families forward with clarity.
