Job description

Virtual Employee Wellness Specialist A Role That’s About More Than Just Work Let’s be real. Working from home can be amazing—you skip the commute, you’re in comfy clothes, and you can make lunch in your own kitchen. But sometimes, it also means you miss those watercooler chats, team laughter, and someone asking, "Hey, how’s your day going?" That’s where you come in. As our Virtual Employee Wellness Specialist, you’ll be the friendly face (well, on Zoom) who keeps our team feeling connected, motivated, and supported. You’ll help everyone bring their best self to work - without burning out.

Why This Role Matters

Remote work is here to stay. And while it’s flexible and freeing, it can also be isolating. We’ve seen it happen—team members feel disconnected, morale dips, and suddenly, productivity takes a hit. That’s why your role is such a big deal. You’ll make sure our people feel seen, heard, and valued. You’ll help them thrive not just at work, but in life. Imagine this: someone’s feeling overwhelmed with deadlines. You step in with a quick breathing exercise in the morning huddle, share a few tips on managing workload, and check in later with a lighthearted message. Small actions, big impact.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Creating a Wellness Culture

• Hosting short, engaging wellness check-ins that feel more like friendly catch‑ups than meetings.
• Designing fun, practical activities that people can do at their desks—or while they’re grabbing coffee.
• Encouraging daily habits that boost energy and focus, without feeling like "just another task."

Keeping the Team Connected

• Organizing virtual events—from quick Friday games to monthly challenges.
• Spotting when someone’s a little quieter than usual and reaching out with care.
• Celebrating wins, big or small. Someone hit a project milestone? We’re cheering. Someone learned how to make sourdough? We’re celebrating that, too.

Supporting Mental & Emotional Health

• Offering resources for stress management, resilience, and mindfulness.
• Leading guided relaxation sessions or short meditation breaks.
• Being the go‑to person when someone needs to talk things through, judgment‑free.

Encouraging Physical Well‑Being

• Sharing quick stretches for stiff necks and tight shoulders.
• Suggesting movement breaks or "walk and talk" meetings.
• Creating friendly fitness challenges that make people smile.

A Day in This Role Might Look Like…

You start the morning by sending a cheerful "Let's make today awesome" note to the team. Mid-morning, you host a 10-minute Mindful Monday session - no pressure, just a space to reset. After lunch, you help plan our monthly wellness challenge, maybe a step-count competition or a cook something colorful week. You spend part of the afternoon checking in with someone who’s been juggling a tough workload. By the end of the day, you’re smiling, knowing you’ve helped make work feel better for everyone.

Who Thrives in This Role

You love people. Even on a bad day, you’re the one who asks others how they’re doing. You’re a great listener, and you remember the little things. You can spot when someone’s off their game—and you know how to lift them up. You’re organized but not rigid. Wellness should feel natural, not forced. You enjoy mixing creativity with empathy.

Skills That Will Help You Shine

• Experience with wellness programs, HR, or people‑focused roles.
• Understanding of mental health and emotional well‑being in the workplace.
• Strong communication skills—especially in virtual spaces.
• Ability to bring energy and positivity to online interactions.
• Comfort with tech tools like Zoom, Slack, and simple survey or event platforms.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

We believe work should feel good. Not perfect, but good. You’ll have the freedom to try new ideas and make them happen. We celebrate people, not just results. You’ll join a team that truly cares about each other. And yes—the salary is $95,000 a year. Because we know that taking care of our team starts with valuing the people who make it happen.

Real Moments From Our Team

Last month, one of our designers had a tough week. Without making a big deal of it, our wellness lead set up a surprise Pet Cameo Day on Zoom. Everyone brought their cats, dogs, and even a turtle to the call. That designer messaged later: "That was exactly what I needed." Or take the time we tried a move every hour challenge. The chat was full of gifs, people sharing stretch photos, and jokes about chair yoga. Productivity went up. Morale? Through the roof.

Your First 90 Days

Week 1-4: Get to know the team, understand what’s working and where we can improve.Week 5-8: Launch small, easy‑to‑join wellness activities.Week 9-12: Introduce a signature program or challenge that becomes "our thing." By the end of those first three months, you’ll already see the difference—you’ll hear it in people’s voices and see it in the way they show up.

How We’ll Support You

We’ll make sure you’re set up with everything you need - from tech to resources - so you can focus on building connections. You won’t be "just another role" here. You’ll be a core part of how our culture grows and stays strong.

What Success Looks Like

People feel more connected, supported, and motivated. Team members openly share that they’re happier at work. Participation in wellness activities grows naturally. You feel proud of the space you’ve created for people to recharge and connect.
