Employee Activation Manager

Employee Activation Manager

Boston, MA

Wellist | Full-time, 5 days per week onsite across multiple hospital locations; local travel required

Why This Role Matters

Most employers invest millions of dollars in benefits, wellbeing programs, and support resources. Most employees never use them.

At Wellist, we exist to close that gap.

We help employees navigate life's challenges—from caregiving and childcare to financial stress, mental health, and complex healthcare needs. But resources only create value when people actually use them.

As an Employee Activation Manager, you will be responsible for driving adoption of Wellist across a major healthcare system. Your success will directly influence whether employees access the support available to them and whether our client realizes meaningful value from their investment.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role with clear accountability for enrollment, engagement, and activation outcomes.

About Wellist

At Wellist, we believe people perform at their best when they have the support they need outside of work.

Our platform connects employees to personalized resources that help them navigate life's challenges and improve overall wellbeing. We partner with leading employers and healthcare organizations to increase awareness, utilization, and impact of the benefits and resources available to their workforce.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for exceptional people who combine empathy, influence, and execution to help employees take action when it matters most.

The Opportunity

We are entering an exciting phase of growth through a strategic partnership with one of the largest healthcare systems in Massachusetts.

This is not a traditional program management role and it is not a desk job.

You will spend the majority of your time onsite across multiple hospital locations, building relationships, engaging employees, partnering with leaders, and driving measurable activation outcomes.

You will serve as the face of Wellist within the organization while also acting as a strategic partner responsible for improving enrollment, adoption, and long-term engagement.

Success in this role requires a unique combination of relationship-building, influence, presentation skills, data-driven decision making, and operational execution.
