Rtc Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

Client Navigator

Position Summary

The Client Navigator is the single, go-to guide for every prospective client, from the first call or web

form to the moment they walk through our doors. Navigators triage needs, verify funding, remove

barriers, and coordinate scheduling and transportation, and document each step in Zendesk,

Monday.com, and Best Notes.
