Navigator Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Ulman Foundation changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer.

We believe no one should face cancer alone. Through patient navigation, survivorship programs, community engagement, wellness initiatives, advocacy, and Ulman House, we help individuals navigate the practical, emotional, and social challenges that accompany a cancer diagnosis and life beyond treatment.

At Ulman, we believe our impact begins with our team. We foster a collaborative, mission-driven environment where people feel supported, empowered, and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work.

The Survivorship Patient Navigator serves as a clinical and community resource for cancer survivors throughout their survivorship journey. This position provides individualized navigation while helping strengthen Ulman's growing survivorship initiatives across clinical, community, and educational settings.

Working in partnership with Sinai Hospital's Kara Amey Cancer Survivorship Next Step Program and Ulman Foundation, the navigator helps survivors successfully transition from active treatment into long-term survivorship by addressing medical, psychosocial, emotional, financial, and practical barriers to care.

Beyond direct patient navigation, this position plays an important role in developing survivorship-focused programming, strengthening partnerships across the oncology community, contributing to education and advocacy efforts, collaborating with Ulman's Community Programs Manager and other program staff, and ensuring meaningful outcomes are captured through accurate documentation and evaluation.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing one-on-one patient relationships with program development, systems thinking, community engagement, and continuous improvement.

Specific responsibilities of this position include:

• Facilitate referrals to internal and external resources including behavioral health, nutrition, fertility, financial assistance, rehabilitation, wellness, and peer support.
• Build trusted relationships that promote self-advocacy, resilience, and long-term well-being.
• Collaborate with Lifebridge Health and Sinai's interdisciplinary survivorship team and other hospital staff to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care and seamless transitions across healthcare settings.

Help strengthen and expand Ulman's survivorship initiatives by identifying emerging survivor needs and developing meaningful opportunities for education, connection, and ongoing support.

Responsibilities include:

• Partner with the Community Programs Manager and other staff to develop and enhance survivorship-focused programs, support groups, educational offerings, and wellness initiatives.
• Foster engagement and lifelong connection among survivors through community-based programming.
• Contribute to the development of survivorship resources, educational materials, and best practices that advance whole-person survivorship care.

You are passionate about helping cancer survivors navigate life beyond treatment and believe survivorship is about more than follow-up appointments—it's about helping people reclaim their health, confidence, and quality of life.

You combine clinical understanding with genuine compassion, balancing individualized patient support with the ability to think strategically about how programs, partnerships, and systems can better serve survivors. You are equally comfortable meeting one-on-one with a survivor, collaborating with healthcare providers, facilitating a support group, or helping develop a new survivorship initiative.
