Portland, OR | Hybrid | Travel Required

At Linguava, our interpreters are at the heart of everything we do. The Interpreter Engagement Specialist helps us build, strengthen, and activate that network so we can better serve our healthcare partners and, ultimately, the patients who rely on language access.

This role is equal parts relationship builder, community connector, recruiter, and program creator. You’ll be out in the community building relationships with interpreters, helping bring new interpreters into the Linguava network, creating meaningful ways for interpreters to engage with us, and developing programs that connect our interpreter network to the clients, communities, geographies, and languages where we have the greatest need.

If you love people, thrive on making connections, and want your work to have a direct impact on healthcare access, this could be a great fit.

The Interpreter Engagement Specialist is responsible for building strong, active relationships with Linguava’s interpreter community and helping grow and strengthen our interpreter network.

You’ll serve as a visible representative of Linguava in the community, attending events, connecting with interpreter communities and organizations, and sharing the opportunities and mission of Linguava. You’ll also partner closely with Recruiting, Interpreter Relations, Compliance, Credentialing, and Operations to ensure we have the right interpreters, in the right places, speaking the right languages, to meet the needs of our healthcare clients and the patients they serve.
